After more than 200 episodes of Miss Mermaid, I put in another week to complete 163 episodes of Come on Kim Soon.
Even though this classic Korean drama was created 16 years ago, and "Come on Kim Soon" first aired in 2005, it is still full of deep emotion now.
Unlike the happy comedic ending in the play, the real life experienced by the several protagonists outside the play is not perfect for everyone.
1. The actor Jiang Zhihuan was involved in the scandal of **.
The first to bear the brunt is Kang Ji-hwan, who plays the male protagonist "Gu Jae-hee", who has faded out of the public eye in the Korean entertainment industry due to the scandal involving **.
In fact, Kang Ji Hwan's acting career was very smooth, he started his acting career as a ** drama actor at the age of 25, and starred in the TV series "Come on Kim Soon" that made him famous three years after his debut.
Due to the great success of this TV series, Kang Ji-hwan won the 2005 MBC TV Newcomer Award and the Outstanding Actor Award.
Normally, Korean TV will only evaluate actors for the Outstanding Actor Award after they win the Newcomer Award. However, Kang was able to win both awards, which was enough to prove his popularity in South Korea that year.
Since "Come on Kim Soon" was introduced to China, Kang Zhihuan has quickly emerged in Taiwan and the mainland, becoming a new generation of Korean pop male gods. During those years, he also traveled to China several times to participate in various commercial performance activities.
A few years later, the movie "Try Lying to Me" starring Kang Ji-hwan and Yoon Eun-hye set off a craze in South Korea again, and he was undoubtedly in the limelight at that time.
However, Jiang Zhihuan, who has played the role of an affectionate good man many times in the TV series, was unfortunately involved in a ** scandal in 2019.
On July 9, 2019, Kang Ji-hwan was quickly arrested at his residence in Gwangju due to suspicion of involvement.
It is understood that after Jiang Zhihuan's party with his colleagues, he invited two female friends to his home again. Under the catalytic effect of alcohol, Jiang Zhihuan carried out ** on Woman A and sexually harassed Woman B.
As a woman asked her friend for help via text message, she rushed to Kang Ji-hwan's residence in a very short time.
After this incident was reported by a news organization in South Korea, Kang Ji-hwan was forced to leave the TV drama team he was filming.
After that, in order to make excuses for what he had done, he claimed that he had forgotten things because he had drunk too much. In court, he confessed that he had been a police officer. Despite being interrogated many times, he finally confessed to his crimes.
As of December 5, 2019, Jiang Zhihuan was sentenced by the court to two and a half years in prison and given a three-year suspension due to the incident involving **. At the same time, he was banned from working in juvenile-related institutions for the next three years.
Although Kang Zhihuan was deeply remorseful and tearful about the verdict in court, he still chose to appeal because he was dissatisfied with the verdict.
On May 4, 2020, Jiang Zhihuan's ** case entered the second instance stage, but the court finally rejected his appeal request, so the ruling of the second instance remains unchanged, as time goes by, Jiang Zhihuan can hardly be seen in the Korean entertainment industry anymore, he is now 44 years old, he is still single, and there is no drama to film, which is really regrettable.
Second, the heroine Han Hye-jin suddenly got married and chose to retire.
followed by Han Hye-jin, who played the heroine "Luo Jinshun", who gradually faded out of the public eye after giving birth to children after marriage.
In fact, Han Hye-jin's starting point in life is also quite high. She and Song Hye Kyo were classmates in middle school, and they were also known as the "three school flowers of Eunguang Girls' High School" together with Li Jin. Later, Song Hye Kyo and Han Hye Jin became actors, while Lee Jin became a member of the girl group.
Similar to her classmate Song Hye Kyo's early entry into the entertainment industry, Han Hye-jin began her acting career at the age of 21 by starring in the TV series "Destiny Love".
In the third year of her debut, Han Hye-jin has already played the role of the heroine in "Come on Kim Soon". In "Come on!".I Love My Home", the heroine she plays is a gentle, considerate mother, which makes many people have a deep impression of her. After completing the performance of this TV series, Han Hye-jin not only won the Best Actress Award of the year on MBC TV, but also won the reputation of "National Daughter-in-law" in the hearts of Korean audiences.
However, since then, Han Hye-jin has not made any more works comparable to "Come on Kim Soon", and her career has been uneventful, but her romance is particularly remarkable.
In March 2013, South Korean soccer player Ki Seong-yong voluntarily revealed to the public that he was dating actress Han Hye-jin, who was eight years older than him.
At that time, the sister-brother relationship, which had an age difference of 8 years, was not widely recognized by the outside world. However, Han Hye-jin and Ji Chengyong do not take the views of the outside world to heart. After more than three months of dating, 32-year-old Han Hye-jin and 24-year-old Qi Chengyong quickly got married and started a family.
Han Hye-jin made her retirement statement public because she was pregnant in the second year after she got married.
However, as her daughter gradually grows up, Han Hye-jin returns again and participates in the recording of many variety shows, but her former glory can no longer be regained.
3. Li Shien, the second female, married a wealthy family, and Li Minji, the second male, became the male god in everyone's hearts.
Next, let's talk about Lee Se-eun, who is the actor who plays the supporting actress "Zhang Yinzhu".
Although Li Shien's fame in China is not too high, in addition to her performance in "Come on Jin Shun", her role as a doctor in the TV series "Da Chang Jin" also left a deep impression on the audience.
Despite his great efforts, Lee has never been able to gain widespread attention and recognition.
Although Li Shien has suffered some setbacks in his career, his love life is deeply enviable.
In 2015, she married an outsider who was three years younger than her, and has gradually withdrawn from the TV screen.
Lee Se-eun's spouse is by no means an ordinary person, he inherited the fourth **company established in South Korea - Phu Quok**.
In short, that's a wealthy family!
Lee Se-eun had a daughter after getting married, and now at the age of 41, she lives a wealthy life of spending time with her husband and teaching her daughter, and can be said to be a winner in life.
Lee Min-ki, who plays the second male lead "Lu Tae-hun" in the play, has emerged and become a symbol of the male god.
When Lee Min Ki participated in the performance of "Come on Kim Soon", he was only 20 years old and was still a novice who had just debuted for a year.
However, after this TV series, Lee Min-ki successively starred in a series of high-quality film and television works such as "Tatsuko's Spring", "My Ghost Girlfriend" and "This Life is the First Time".
With the release of successive works, Lee Min Ki is undoubtedly known as the male god in Korean dramas.
However, the now 36-year-old Lee Min Ki has always kept a low profile in his love life, and despite occasional scandals, he has never made his girlfriend public.
Perhaps, when he decides to go public about his relationship, their marriage is also coming!
Fourth, Kim Nam-gil emerged as a small supporting role, but due to lung cancer, experienced actor Kim Ziyu unfortunately passed away.
In addition to the previously mentioned main characters, Kim Nam-gil's first husband who played Kim Soon's in "Come on Kim Soon" has now emerged and become an important figure in the industry.
Although in the movie "Come on Kim Soon", Kim Nam-gil only had a few episodes, but only a year later, he emerged and became the leading actor in the movie "Never Regret".
Subsequently, due to Kim Nam-gil's unique "bad man" charm, he gradually changed from a supporting role to an irreplaceable protagonist.
Over the years, he has won many awards and won the honor of Best Actor many times, and there is no doubt that Kim Nam-gil has become the most high-profile actor in the crew of "Come on Kim Soon".
Next, let's talk about the most regrettable senior actor in this play, Mr. Jin Ziyu.
In the play, Mr. Jin Ziyu played the role of Jin Shun's mother-in-law, and the deep mother-daughter relationship between Jin Shun and her mother-in-law also touched the hearts of many audiences.
In addition to her performance in "Come on Jin Shun", Mr. Jin Ziyu also played the role of the heroine's mother in another popular work "My Name is Jin Sanshun".
Perhaps, there is indeed some kind of fate between that old man and "Jin Shun"!
Sadly, Kaneko was diagnosed with colorectal cancer in 2008, but passed away on November 16, 2014 at the age of 63 after several years of anti-cancer treatment.
Alas, after ** the daily life of several actors in the play, I can't help but sigh how great it would be if they could all live happily ever after like the characters in the TV series!
If Kang Ji-hwan had never made a mistake by "drinking", he would still be known as the male god of South Korea;If Ms. Jin Ziyu were still alive, she would probably become a "professional mother".
However, reality is often more unforgiving than TV dramas, and perhaps it is for this reason that the "fairy tales" in Korean dramas become even more attractive!
