Please don't ever give Woo Da Vi red hair again. It's the first time I've seen her this cute. In those other dramas she looks so bland and severe. This is honestly her best role.
My dream final scene would have been to see Jeongnyeon reunited with Joo Ran, the two of them running into each other's arms, the cherry blossoms falling, the end credits to complete this magnificent scene and the kiss between the two. Honestly, I'd have cried my eyes out if it hadn't been for that scene.
After MOG abandoned Maeran and YJN, there's no way she would've dared showed her face again at the theatre and…
I think a conversation between Jeongnyeon and her mother to tell her how proud she is of her, seeing them cry together, or even just seeing the director and Jeongnyeon's mother exchange a hug, would have pleased me a lot.
What I'm about to say isn't meant as a criticism - I myself have this flaw. I was surprised to see that someone as famous as Sejeong had shifted bottom teeth. Of course I'm not criticizing and I think it's beautiful, it proves that he's a natural person, especially as Sejeong always shows his skin in its true form, i.e. not pale or porcelain as we're led to believe. Most of the time when she's whitened, it's either in a photo shoot or in a kdrama. Sejeong is just perfect.
That's it, the first part of the kdrama is over. I'm really enjoying this drama, which I find easy on the nerves, and where the cast is incredible. I really like the two couples, and as I've already said, I think Kim Sejeong and Lee Jong Won are a perfect match. It's not a drama that will be held back in the future, we're more into something quiet and trouble-free to relax in after a hard day. There's one thing that bothers me about SML: why did they make him like that? A forceful character? There are moments when I literally cover my eyes because I'm embarrassed to see him forcing himself so much with the SFL, even though it'll ease off more and she'll come to accept it. But for now, I'm embarrassed.
There's a lot of talk about Kim Taeri, but what a talent Shin Ye Eun is... I've adored this actress since her drama with Lomon, and I was hooked straight away. She's so pretty and, for me, she shone so brightly in this drama.
What the hell kind of casting is this !!!! Kim Da Mi, Shin Ye Eun, Heo Nam Jun, Lee Won Jung and now we have Kim Jung Hyun who I love in Iron Family. I'm crying tears of joy!
That's it, after 12 episodes. The kdrama "Jeongnyeon, The Star is Born" is over. What did I think, honestly?
I found this drama very promising, as it was the first time we'd seen this kind of concept, and the cast was magnificent. However, it's clear that the kdrama is meant to last 16 episodes, not 12, so there was still a lot to explore. Let's move on to the finale! I half enjoyed this finale, in the sense that, on the one hand, so much the better, the title of the drama is finally justified, but, on the other hand, they seemed obliged not to show us Jeongnyeon's performance during the auditions. I don't get it? Was it to save time or to keep the episode short? I was quite disappointed not to see Ok Gyeong and Joo Ran in this last episode. I don't know what they wanted to do with Ok Gyeong's character, especially since she brought Jeongnyeon back to Maeran. Not seeing her in the audience on that last show? I guess the actress couldn't go on with the rest, so they had to invent something to get her out of the kdrama.
I won't go on too long, what I've written is already long enough lmaooo. Honestly, I'm frustrated, it lacks a few things. It's such a shame we got 0 kissing scenes. It would have made the drama so beautiful. I was also right in my theories that Jeongnyeon's mother was going to attend a show at the end of the kdrama. By the way, I don't mean to be bitter about the show, but I honestly didn't find it spectacular. I much preferred the one with Ok Gyeong and Hye Rang. Now I think it lasted too long for the episode. It's so lacking a final conversation between Jeongnyeon and his mother. There's a lot of frustrating stuff that I can't say because it would take too long. Honestly, the most frustrating thing is that Jeongnyeon and Joo Ran didn't end up together......
That's it for me, I still enjoyed the drama and give it an 8/10.
I'm afraid the "Beyond The Sunrise" OST is for the last two episodes on 15 and 16. Normally we'll get an OST from the 3 main actors, if that happens. So we must have 2 or 3 OSTs left. Either Beyond The Sunrise comes out on Wednesday and they put the trio's OST last, or Beyond The Sunrise comes out next Wednesday. Honestly, I can't recognize the voice, but there's a good chance it's V, the way the OST is teased. I remind you that we've been hearing it since the 1st episode, so there's no way it's just some random guy singing OSTs, it's a big name change for sure. Except that I can't recognize V's voice.
How did Hwang In Youp become so whitewashed? I watched extracts from the drama 18 again de 2020 and he was as white as ever. Unless it's JTBC putting a whitening filter on the actors but it's weird we don't get the impression that the two ahjussi are whitened.
I saw a very interesting comment that the drama was not at its greatest potential and I agree 100%. I think the ending was rushed because 12 episodes is so short that at some point you have to speed things up to make it look like a webtoon. Honestly, I think Kim Tae Ri has a big part to play in the drama's audience and that without her or with another actress in her place, the kdrama would never have had the same audience. The drama will surely end up with an overall rating of 8.2-8.5 grand max, I can't think of anything more honest. Now do I think we'll get a happy ending or a sad ending? I rather think we'll end up with a happy ending of a final show between Yeongso and Jeongnyeon to much applause. I really don't see this kdrama ending with a sad ending.
The farewell scene between Joo Ran and Jeongnyeon was so sad that I shed a tear. I was expecting a kiss from them, too bad. That's tomorrow, and that's the end of this beautiful kdrama, which is quite short and which I found a bit rushed at the end.
