Entering April, the second quarter of 2021 officially kicked off, and the drama parties of major Korean dramas also opened the "battle" mode.
Among the Korean dramas that will be broadcast from April to June, there are many competitive works.
Among them, Park Baoying's return work is placed high hopes, and Zhang Jilong, Song Jiang and other male gods have also cooperated with the actresses of the great trend, and even "Penthouse 3" has two strong opponents, and finally which work can become a hit, which has aroused heated discussion.
The idol drama market has rejuvenated, Park Baoying has returned, and the male gods have fought
Idol dramas are rarely seen in the works of the first quarter, and the works that go out of the circle are basically ethical dramas.
It can be said that in addition to "Goddess Arrival", the Korean drama market basically cannot find idol dramas with topics. In the second quarter of the series, there are many anticipated idol dramas, among which the most vocal is "One Day The Destruction Comes to My Door" starring Park Baoying and Seo In-kook.
As the most appealing post-90s actress, Park Baoying's works have almost never disappointed everyone.
However, Park Baoying had previously stopped working for several years due to physical reasons, which also led many netizens to point out that there was no successor to South Korea's post-90s actresses. This time Park Baoying can return, and her return is to cooperate with the popular male god Seo In-kook, which can be said to rekindle the public's expectations for Korean idol dramas.
This time Park Baoying will stage a wonderful love affair with Xu Renguo, Xu Renguo's "demise" is the source of the disappearance of all things, and Park Baoying plays the human who signed a life contract with him in order not to disappear, and the two people will be in close contact in 100 days, which is bound to produce a lot of sweet interaction. The series will premiere on May 10th.
Park Baoying's return is the prelude to the Korean idol drama war, and the competition between male actors is also invisibly unfolding. Xu Inguo's ability to cooperate with Park Baoying has already taken advantage, but Jang Ki-yong, Song Jiang, Lee To-hyun and others are not willing to show weakness.
Also a fantasy theme, "Heart-pounding Cohabitation" starring Zhang Jilong and Li Huili also has a lot of points to watch. Zhang Jilong will play the role of the nine-tailed fox in the play, and the cohabitation life of the 999-year-old nine-tailed fox and the 22-year-old female college student is expected. This is also the first time that Zhang Jilong has not played a bitter feeling since he became popular, and everyone expects Zhang Jilong to bring surprises. In addition, This time Zhang Jilong's new drama has received investment from a well-known video website in China, and it is likely that after the drama is launched in May, it will set off a wave of drama chasing fever in China.
Song Jiang's new drama "Irresistible Him" has also attracted the attention of many people, and his partner is Han Suxi, who once starred in the blockbuster drama "The World of Couples". Song Jiang and Han Suxi are both actors with high looks, this time the roles they play are mature men and women, and the story is also based on the love line of "scumbags and scumbags", which also makes the series more interesting.
After watching modern urban idol dramas, some people are beginning to look forward to period dramas. "May's Youth", starring Lee and Gao Minshi, is particularly rare, the story of this drama is set in 1980, and the two leading actors will perform a sad story. It is worth mentioning that before Li Zhixi and Gao Minshi played brothers and sisters in "Sweet Homeland", this time they will play lovers and fight with the new drama of Song Jiang, the male protagonist of "Sweet Homeland", who can laugh until the end can wait and see. The drama will premiere on May 3rd, I believe many netizens who like period dramas will watch it.
There are many realistic themes, and the script and lineup are the key to success
Although there is a large market for idol dramas, there are still a large number of fixed audiences in realist themes. Among them, the "Model Taxi", which has been broadcast so far, has received more than 10% of the ratings at the premiere, which can be described as a good start. The drama mainly tells the story of taxi "heroes" through design, disguise, lurking and other modes to achieve justice, Li Dixun, Li Shu, Biao Yizhen and other starring actors have good acting skills, so the reputation and ratings are naturally good.
"Law School," which will premiere on April 14, won with a cast. This story is mainly about the new law students played by Kim Fan who escalate under the guidance of the "old cannon" of the legal profession played by Kim Myung-min. Overall, whether it is the theme or the setting, there is not much intention, but with Jin Fan joining, this drama still has an advantage in the lineup, and if the plot can be innovative, it is not without the opportunity to counterattack.
The same lineup is strong, and "Voice4", which aired in June, also has a strong competitiveness. Song Chengxian and Li Hena will play the criminal police and profile writer in the play this time, and the two powerful factions will work together to provide protection for the series, and people who have watched the first three or like the two actors will naturally choose to support the play.
"Penthouse 3" encountered a strong enemy, and it is difficult to say whose hand the deer died
However, neither idol dramas nor realist works are more important than having a strong audience base. From the fourth quarter of 2020 to the first quarter of 2021, basically no work can match the popularity of "The Penthouse". It can be said that "Penthouse 3", which will be broadcast in June, is already a "quasi-blockbuster", and it is not easy to snatch the championship throne from "Penthouse 3".
But "Undercover", starring Ji Jin-hee, Kim Hyun-joo and Yeon Woo-jin, has high hopes. This drama, like the 2020 blockbuster drama "The World of Couples", is a hit series remade from the BBC, and the main actors are also powerful actors. "Undercover" is mainly about a series of rights and wrongs involving the male protagonist working in the security department and his wife working in the public search office.
In order to find out the real culprit behind the scenes and destroy the huge evil forces, the protagonists fight monsters and escalate all the way. This work will be broadcast on April 23rd, which can be said to have an advantage in the time of launch, and if the show can get more attention after the start of broadcasting, it is not impossible to surpass the results of the "Penthouse" series.
In addition, "Witty Doctor Life 2" will also be launched in June, which has many fans and a good reputation. Therefore, if "Penthouse 3" cannot make a breakthrough in the plot, presumably "Witty Doctor Life 2" will certainly not give "Penthouse 3" a chance to breathe.
If the Korean drama market in the first quarter did not have any surprises to speak of, then the second quarter can be said to be a "fairy fight", and almost every drama has the basic conditions to go out of the circle. In the end, which one or which series can become a hit, we can continue to pay attention. Which show are you most looking forward to?
