Zhang Ruixi can be called an inspirational representative of the Korean entertainment circle.
At the age of 18, Zhang Ruixi debuted through the movie "That Woman" and won the Newcomer Award at the Baeksang Art Awards.
In the next 10 years, Zhang Ruixi often played supporting roles in various film and television works, and also served as an editor and location host.
During this period, Zhang Ruixi also got the opportunity to star, but he would be replaced before starting every time.
It was not until the age of 30 that Jang Ri-hee was caught in the direction of director Shin Hyun-chang and pushed her to star in the MBC Japanese drama "Miss Mermaid".
"Miss Mermaid" soared from 8% of the premiere ratings to 47.9%, and was repeatedly renewed at the request of the audience, eventually extending to 247 episodes.
With "Miss Mermaid", Zhang Ruixi won 5 crowns at the MBC Acting Awards that year, and was also awarded the honor of Artist of the Year and Best K-pop Star.
6 years later, Zhang Ruixi took the SBS Japanese drama "The Temptation of the Wife" and staged the return of the king.
"The Temptation of the Wife" was written by Jin Shunyu and set a record of 40.6% of the highest ratings, which not only triggered the "Zhang Ruixi Effect", but also caused the hotel business to be greatly affected, only because people went home on time to chase the drama.
With "The Temptation of The Wife", Zhang Ruixi became popular again and won the SBS Acting Award that year.
With the popularity of "Miss Mermaid" and "The Temptation of the Wife", Zhang Ruixi was completely labeled as a goddess of vengeance and a queen of ratings.
After that, Zhang Ruixi also starred in revenge dramas such as "The Nest of Cuckoos" and "Sister's Style Is Still The Same", but unfortunately failed to replicate the success of "Miss Mermaid" and "The Temptation of The Wife".
In 2017, Zhang Ruixi starred in the movie "Secondary Two Is Okay".
Since then, Zhang Ruixi has not had any new works.
In July last year, Zhang Ruixi announced that he had signed a contract with IOK Company, and became the same door as Gao Hyun-jeong, Cho Yin-sung and Kim Ho-na.
After more than a year of waiting, Zhang Ruixi took over 2 new works in one go, which is also her comeback in the film and television circle after 5 years.
The first part: the movie "Single Parent"
"Single Parent" is a suspense film starring Zhang Ruixi, Jiang Anna and Choi So-yun, revolving around the suicide of the girl Youli, detailing the real inner world of the people in the case, in order to call the public to pay attention to the problem of insufficient communication among family members, and is expected to start in the middle of this month.
In "Single Parent", Zhang Ruixi played the heroine Hui Ying.
Hui Ying is a single mother, she worked hard to raise her daughter Youli to grow up, but she did not expect that her beloved daughter chose to live lightly.
The moment she learned of Yu Li's death, Hui Ying's world seemed to collapse.
The second part: MBC Japanese drama "Witch's Game"
Starring Zhang Ruixi and Wu Changxi, "The Witch's Game" tells the story of a mother and daughter who fight against evil and take revenge in order to punish the villain.
It is worth mentioning that Zhang Ruixi and Wu Changxi have both starred in the works of Ren Chenghan and Jin Shunyu, two gold medal screenwriters, and both have excellent performances.
I have to say that Zhang Ruixi is particularly suitable for playing roles with complex and changeable personalities, whether it is Ya Liying in "Miss Mermaid" or Gu Encai in "The Temptation of The Wife".
Don't look at Zhang Ruixi's sweet and lovely looks, but she can always play the blackened role quite emotionally, so that the audience can see it very painfully.
"Witch's Game" and "Miss Mermaid", are MBC Japanese dramas, and are revenge dramas, I don't know if Zhang Ruixi can continue to write the ratings myth, let's wait and see.
