In the blink of an eye, a group of post-95s and post-00s child stars have reached adulthood, and they have gradually grown into mature actors who can stand alone and can play the absolute protagonists of large-scale production dramas.
For example, Guan Xiaotong has recently had a new drama broadcast, and the popularity is also quite good.
Seeing that the 23-year-old Guan Xiaotong also starred in the idol drama as a young girl, the Korean child star Kim So-hyun, who was born in 1999 two years younger than Guan Xiaotong, played the "child mother" in the new drama.
Although being able to play a role like a mother at the age of 21 is a good opportunity for Kim So-hyun to prove his acting skills, this Korean drama called "Moonrise River" has caused a lot of trouble because of suspected plagiarism and falsification of history, and overall Kim So-hyun's appearance in this drama has not received any benefits.
"Moonrise River" is the first large-scale costume drama in the Korean film and television market in 2021, and there is a highly popular actress like Kim So-hyun, so the drama has already caused heated discussions in South Korea before it was launched.
Of course, after the release of the trailer of "The River of the Moonrise", it also caused a lot of discussion in China, but the reason is that the costumes in the play are suspected of plagiarizing traditional Chinese culture.
Leaving aside the fact that the background of the story, Goguryeo, does not have much to do with the Koreans at all, but only has geographical overlap with ancient Korea.
It is said that the costumes worn by the protagonists in the play and the hairstyles they comb are basically all imitations of ancient China, and the general's armor worn by Jin Suoyan is exactly the same as the battle robes in China's domestic costume dramas in recent years.
Even the hairstyles and hair accessories of the female characters in the play seem to imitate domestic costume dramas, and the gap between them and the previous Korean costume dramas is quite obvious.
In addition, the screenwriter also refers to the king of the clan as his majesty and the prince as the prince, and these titles that are inconsistent with history continue to cause controversy.
Combined with the recent behavior of many Korean netizens who accuse deer of horses and intend to reverse black and white, most people cannot tolerate such a series full of plagiarism elements.
Therefore, the broadcast effect of "Moonrise River" can naturally be imagined, at present, the drama has been updated for two episodes, but unlike many Korean dramas in the past that will be on China's hot search list after broadcasting, this time Kim So-hyun's new drama can be said to be quiet.
Of course, there is also a theory that Koreans do not necessarily tell Koreans' own stories when they make dramas, and it is not impossible for them to pretend to be Goguryeo and make up a fictional story.
Some fans directly posted the hints given by the crew in the opening of the episode, which said that the drama was adapted from some historical materials handed down during the Warring States period, and many plots were inconsistent with the real history.
From this point of view, Koreans can not fully interpret the history of Goguryeo and can not fully restore the hairstyles and costumes of that time, so it makes sense to start magical adaptations and try to find inspiration from domestic dramas.
However, as long as any work is related to the two words of plagiarism, it will naturally not get more recognition, so the "Moonrise River" drama side seems to have lost the opportunity before it can defend itself.
However, to be fair, Kim So-hyun's performance in the play is quite remarkable, especially in the play, she plays two roles in one person, not only to play the female general who does not let her eyebrows be shaved, but also to play the mother of two children at the age of 21.
Kim So-hyun grew up under the gaze of the audience since childhood, and in the early days, Kim So-hyun almost played the girlhood of popular Korean female stars, and she left a deep impression on everyone.
In recent years, Kim so-hyun has begun to take over idol dramas and can play the absolute heroine, which has also given the public a new understanding of her, but now Kim So-hyun is playing the queen of Goguryeo in the new drama, and she is already a mother of two children when she appears.
Kim So-hyun vividly portrays the queen's modesty and helplessness, even when playing a mother and daughter with a child star who is only a few years younger than himself, which also makes everyone see her plasticity.
However, although Kim so-hyun has absolute acting strength, "Moonrise River" is not a good work that can help Kim so-hyun out of the circle.
In addition to the plagiarism problem, the cast of the show is also lackluster, and Kim So-hyun has become the biggest selling point of the series.
Except for Kim So-hyun and Kang Ha-na, who made a cameo appearance of less than 1 episode, the protagonists of this drama are not too popular, especially the male protagonist Kim Ji-so.
Kim Ji-so basically did not play the male lead before starring in "Moonrise River", and he has always been "playing soy sauce" in popular dramas.
Coupled with Kim Ji-so's controversial appearance, it is actually difficult for Kim So-so to cooperate with him to obtain profits, and more often it is necessary to rely on Kim So-so to drain Kim Ji-so.
In addition, Kim Ji-so's character in the play has not led to more discussion, so the highlights of "Moonrise River" are even less.
Kim's performance in "The River of the Moonrise" proved his acting skills, but at the same time exposed the fact that his resources were not good enough.
Compared with Kim Yu-jeong, who can cooperate with top male gods such as Park Baojian and Ji Changxu at every turn, Kim So-hyun seems to be a little far behind.
But fortunately, resources can not determine popularity, Kim So-hyun's popularity and strength are obvious to all, even if she failed to deliver a satisfactory answer this time, she still has the opportunity to complete the counterattack.
Are you more optimistic about Kim So-hyun or Kim Woo-jeong?
