This is that kind of thing you have to experience it once in a lifetime.
An Amazing Show! It's more than just a drama, you'll be transported to different world.
World of Pansori and Gukgeuk.
I'm so in love with the world they crafted. I don't know pansori (Korean traditional singing) and gukgeuk (Korean traditional theatre performance of only female) in real world, but in here, in this show, pansori and gukgeuk really catch my attention. It's an immersive world like we see a recorded live theatre performance. The sing, the song, the wardrobe, the stage performances are all really beautifull!
Female powers.
The casts of course delivered top notch acting especially the main star, Kim Tae-Ri. We're watching a legend in the making, her works like this show will be immortalized. Another actress like Jung Eun-Chae have little screentime, but her presence will always captivating. Young actress like Shin Ye-Eun, sure she have good track record, and in this series she show her amazing talent. Another casts also doing their very best, Woo Da-Vi as Joo-Ran, Ra Mi-Ran as Kang So-Bok, and many other i can't mention. You will feel it that they're doing their best.
Change is inevitable.
The story it self not so complicated, or nothing new. It's simple but added a world we never knew, world of pansori and gukgeuk. Overall we see a journey of a girl with amazing talent, fight her best to achieve her dream. Speak of the story, i can't put sideway the original source, the webtoon's story. Many webtoon fans outcrying their frustation because many aspects been changed. I have some experiences too with another show when a story i liked been adapted to another format or version. Change is inevitable.
If webtoon fans keep being frustrated with the changes, they will miss many amazing things in this adapted version.
Easier for us to enjoy any adapted version, as different universe, or maybe different story at all, watch it as a blank slate. I know it's hard, many other show butchered my beloved story, and it's hard not to compare. But then i realized, live action movie or series can reach wider audiences, means many more people will love a story that i also loved, eventho we each love different version.
Romance.
Once again it'll be related with original source. It'll be different, but present. Webtoon fans probably don't liked it, but for me as general audience who didn't read the original works, it's so fun and entertaining to guess what is happening along the show. I won't spill much about this, because like i mentioned before, it is fun to guessing along the show.
The Music.
Pansori really catch my attention, its a Korean traditional way of singing. The way they sing is like poetry that read outloud with melody, my apologize, it's hard to deliver this expression in another language. Original Sound Track have plenty of pansori in it list. One of the song that catch my attention is the song title bird performed by Leenalchi.
Turns out Leenalchi is a pansori pop band, so of course they have performed many pansori in modern ways, you can go to their Youtube and enjoy more of pansori.
In the end, JeongNyeon is an amazing show. It's more than just worth your time, it's a show that we have to see once in a lifetime.
Wish you all good day.
