When I saw Fantagio sign a contract with the script of "The Doctor Girl Dae Jang Geum", I knew that Lee Young-ae was determined to sell her.
To be honest, when the Korean entertainment company chose Lee Young-ae to star in "The Doctor Dae Jang Jin", the response of the entire entertainment industry was diametrically opposite.
First of all, there are some die-hard fans, Li Yingyi is also one of the earliest first-line stars in South Korea, although she has withdrawn from the circle for more than ten years, Li Yingai still maintains her fifties, still maintains the state of her youth, and is known as "oxygen beauty".
One side disagrees, and the other side is not unreasonable, one is that Lee Young-ae is now 53 years old, if she plays in the sequel to "Da Jang Jin", with Xu Chang as the main line, choosing Lee Young-ae to play is also a kind of hype.
However, Kim Young-hyun, the author of the 2003 version of "Dae Jang Geum", expressed her opinion at a press conference, saying that she has her own rights to all the roles in "Dae Jang Geum", and Lee Young-ae's "Medical Girl Dae Jang Geum" is not a sequel to 2003, nor is it the previous part.
This also means that the movie "The Doctor Girl" has nothing to do with the plot we are familiar with, it is a pure love movie, without the support of those classic IPs, it is impossible to make "Da Changjin" regain the glory of 2003 with one character and one character.
The biggest problem is that time doesn't necessarily buy in.
Dae Jang Geum" has a high popularity in more than 90 countries in Southeast Asia, just because the heroine in this movie is so popular.
"Da Changjin" does not focus on women's impact on male authority, but with the help of the character of Xu Changjin, a queen of character is portrayed, she is kind, strong, smart, hardworking, and almost all the advantages are in one.
But now that 20 years have passed since "Da Chang Jin", in this era when there is no true love, who else will go to see the heroine?
Domestic TV series, you can go and watch Ren Ruyi in "Yi Nian Guan Mountain", she is like an ancient heroine, neither naïve nor naïve, she will kill whoever she looks at is unhappy, she will kill whoever she likes, she will do whomever she likes, if it weren't for her plot being too bad, she would have become popular a long time ago.
The heroines in TV series such as "Dark Glory", "Eve", and "Why Wu Xiuzai" can be seen, and they will not treat others in their own way. She is a vicious woman through and through, she will do her best to trample on her enemies, each of her enemies is very stable, very accurate, very ruthless, and very persistent, which is also the heroine that many people like now.
However, an innocent female star like Lee Young-ae is not suitable for playing the role of a big villain.
After getting married, she officially returned to the entertainment industry, obviously wanting to change her script. In 2021, she starred in a suspense movie "Gu Jingyi", and this time, she can be said to have made a bloody investment and played a newcomer in the play.
Although she has made a new breakthrough in her personality, Lee Young-ae's performance in the movie is very poor, she completely uses her hair to convince the audience, and her body and facial movements are very stiff.
Back in 2022, she starred in "The Great Conductor: The Truth on the Strings", which is equally wonderful, and Lee Young-ae plays an excellent conductor living in the world.
The character has short hair and looks beautiful, but in the movie, her acting skills are the same as her acting skills, which are not very good, so she doesn't perform well.
In private, Lee Young-ae felt that she should have failed in her first two careers, which caused her movie to have a bad response, so she returned to "Dae Jang Geum" to see if this kind heroine could save her.
I think many Korean stars have experienced similar problems, like Kim Hee-sun, in our minds she is a woman called "Yushu King", but she is not keen on acting, so over the years, her movies have failed.
"And Tomorrow" is a fantasy movie, in the bloody and suspenseful environment of Korean entertainment, it is a fresh movie, but its start is not good, the only highlight is the pair between her and actor Lee so Hyuk, and the rest are shoddy.
Immediately afterwards, the evaluation of "The Black Bride" also plummeted, and it stands to reason that this movie should be a woman's revenge story, and it is definitely a popular movie in Korean movies.
And the story line of "Black Bride" was deliberately amplified, and the housewife Xu Huisheng played by Kim Hee-sun was not high on Douban because she couldn't play.
Until now, among the Korean idols in South Korea, only Song Hye Kyo can play multiple heroines, and Jun Ji-hyun is the only heroine who can be loved by everyone.
Her personality is very unique, very in line with the Asian aesthetic, even after giving birth, she can handle her own affairs well, such as "Kingdom: Ashin of the North" and the suspense movie "Jirisan".
Especially the team of "Jirisan", I like it very much, but the plot is a bit dragged, and the combination of fantasy and supernatural is not good enough, so the response is not very good, which is a pity.
Of the hottest female stars in South Korea, only Song Hye Kyo and Jun Ji Hyun are still a little famous, but the rest are almost eliminated!
