At the beginning of the new century, Jeon Ji-hyun, Song Hui-joo, Lee Young-ae, Sun Yi-jin, Kim Hee-sun, Andu-yeon, these popular Korean actresses, once dominated the ratings of Korean dramas, but in recent years, as their age has increased, the projects they have received have problems, and the reputation of the dramas they have performed has not been as expected! Let's take a look at what's going on?
All this stemmed from the end of October 2021, when Jeon Ji-hyun and his new drama "Zhiyi Mountain" starred in the hit. The show cost 32 billion won to produce and is directed by Lee Young-bok, the director of "Ghost", and written by "Signal" screenwriter Kim Eun-hee.
With a 9.1% rating for the premiere and a 10.7% increase in the second episode, it can be said that "Zhiyi Mountain" made a good start and successfully returned with high ratings.
But with the successive broadcast of the series, the embarrassing special effects under the production cost of more than 30 billion yuan, the interstitial advertisements, and the inaccurate pronunciation of Jeon Ji-hyun... The reputation of the drama collapsed instantly!
"Zhiyi Mountain" constructs a magnificent world view, but it can't tell why it is so, and even why Jiang Xianzu's ghost exists is not explained;
In September 2021, JTBC's episode "Human Disqualification", starring Jeon Do-yeon and Yoo Joon-yeol, officially met with the audience.
As the only Cannes film queen in South Korea, Jeon Do-yeon's screen appeal can be imagined. But after the premiere, the show's ratings continued to decline, falling to only 1.052% at one point.
In November 2021, because of its new drama "Gu Jingyi", which returned after four years as "Dachangjin" Lee Young-ai, it was called "a female action tracking thriller that has never been seen so far", and it was also known as the Korean version of "Killing Eve", which was broadcast on "Human Disqualification".
Unexpectedly, the show's ratings were even more dismal than "Human Disqualification", falling to 1% at one point, becoming one of the 18 TV series with the lowest ratings of 1% and 0% in 21 years.
Song Huiqiao's new drama "Now in The Hands" was officially launched in November 2021, and the ratings and popularity were not satisfactory. During the same period, "Ji Yi Shan", starring Jeon Ji Hyun, was also very popular.
Although the two dramas are boring and the heat is not very high, the reputation of Song Huiqiao's new drama is actually not as good as Quan Zhixian's, which is shocking.
Not only the plot is bloody, Zhang Jilong, born in 1992, plays a role in the play to talk about "sister-brother love" with Song Huiqiao, which also looks very contrary. "The look of standing still", "The person who has become bored", "The same acting skill every time is regrettable", "There is no freshness"... Such comments are endless.
Song Huiqiao's wrinkles are obvious, the puppet lines are also more obvious, in addition, the face has also appeared cheeks, which is much older than before, resulting in the reputation and ratings of the show are not as expected.
In January 2022, Netflix, which attaches great importance to the Korean market, launched a new drama "Silent Sea", which is based on cosmic exploration as the main line and has great ambitions. In addition, there are two superstars Kong Liu and Pei Douna, so they have attracted attention since they were on the shelves. Eight episodes in a row, mostly taking place on the base of the moon, are ambitious.
As a result, many viewers have commented on the Internet that it is "rotten". First of all, it is very reluctant to make the protagonist's death seem very reluctant, barely acceptable, and even more so that the audience will be moved by it, and even described as unremarkable. The best layout of the series some time ago, but in the end it ended hastily, no wonder people are not satisfied.
In the end, the drama failed to replicate the miracle of the popularity of Fei Doona's "Lee Corpse Joseon" in Netflix, and became a chicken rib!
As a Korean idol goddess, Sun Yizhen's popularity has soared since "The Forced Landing of Love", and her latest drama "Thirty-Nine" is also popular on February 16, 2022, which is a narrative around the friendship and feelings between three thirty-nine-year-old women, the standard teacher-milk drama.
Starring Sun Yizhen + Tian Meidu + Jin Jixian, the three face value acting schools, the premiere real-time rating of 6.37%, the average rate of the two episodes of 4.4%, JTBC TV won the first place in the national ratings of Wednesday Mizuki drama AGB! However, the reputation of the show was also less than expected.
In addition to the dog blood elements of extramarital love and one-night stands, the screenwriter arranged an orphan's birth for his sister, which instantly made the plot test the edge of dog blood! Derailment, cancer, only amnesia, so this drama is far from Sun Yizhen's previous "Spotlight" and "Love Forced Landing", fortunately there are three beautiful women to have ratings!
On April 1, 2022, the new drama "There is Tomorrow" by Kim Hee-sun, the "first beauty of Korea" of "Myth" and "Angry Mother", was hit, adapted from a popular Korean manga, and the plot was close to the Korean social situation, so the premiere achieved a good result of 7.6% of the national ratings.
The goddess Kim Hee-sun changed the image of long hair fluttering in the past, and appeared in the image of short red hair, which also attracted the attention of a large number of viewers.
Fantasy comic dramas have encountered unsatisfactory water and soil because the plot is difficult to copy, and the ratings have dropped from 7.6% of the premiere on April 1 to 2.7% yesterday (16th), such a huge gap has aroused a large number of South Korean netizens.
Many Korean netizens left messages saying: "Can you say that the actors' performance is too embarrassing", "It is not as interesting as I imagined", "After watching it for a while, I was dissuaded by the bad CG special effects", "The protagonist group watched the acting skills alone, but it was too awkward to put together", "Whether it is an acting problem or not, the character image without personality charm made me give up", "Not only is the performance a problem, the director and the screenwriter also have great problems in plot control"
From last year to now, Korean drama goddesses such as Jeon Do-yeon, Jeon Ji-hyun, Song Hye-joo, Lee Young-ae, Sun Yi-jin, Kim Hee-sun, and Fei Doona, their new dramas have failed in word-of-mouth or ratings, which has surprised people.
What happened to the top Korean drama actresses who were once there? Maybe no one can answer that question. The squeeze on streaming video sites has also challenged the industrial system of Local Television stations in South Korea.
On the contrary, Kim Tae-ri's "Twenty-Five, Twenty-One", Kim Do-mei's "That Summer Of That Year", and Lee Se-young's "Sleeve Red Trim" have excellent reputation for their new dramas. The new generation of Korean actresses began to blow the horn, and gradually became the rating guarantee of Korean dramas, and staged a scene of "Jiangshan generations of talented people, each leading the way for hundreds of years".
What do you think is the reason for the collective defeat of the "older" goddesses such as Jeon Ji-hyun, Song Hye-joo, Lee Young-ae, Kim Hee-sun, Sun Yi-jin, Jeon Doo-yeon, and Fei Doona? Welcome to leave a message to discuss
