Jeong Nyeon

Acting within acting, drama within drama. It still amazes me when I watch it. This is the only kdrama I've watched that presents a theatrical performance like this. The main story is interesting despite its fairly simple premise. What's amazing is the show, I really enjoyed every episode that had the show. This is actually still foreign to me, but interesting, I even searched what Gukgeuk is on youtube. The actors in acting, it was very difficult but they did it well. The main actor sang very well and his husky voice was very natural, it didn't sound fake, it makes me wonder how did she do it? Anyway, I like it.

Another masterpiece of Kim Taeri. So short yet so meaningful drama. All my emotion released to this drama Happiness,Anger,Sadness,being inlove and heartbreak. The acting of all the cast is a must see specially Kim Taeri. The best Actress for me she is so brave to do this role. A must see drama im so inlove with jeongnyeon and this is not an ordinary drama no doubt Kim Taeri choose this drama to portray because she didn't choose a role that easy to do she choose something that challenge her and this is the perfect role for her. Her acting was incredible I hope she can get another baeksang for this drama she deserved it for than anyone else.

A delightful intro to a form of theater new to me, and it's addictive. My next question is where do I find more of it to watch from here in New England ... and with subtitles.

My major beef is that there wasn't more of the actual Pansori performances in the early segments, although I understand that would've disrupted the narrative.

However, even though this is a Disney-esque movie about a talented teen who bridges adversities into success, this production goes far deeper into performance, and performance preparation, than most such movies, and I am grateful for that.

The personal story at the heart of the narrative is good enough, and the performances keep the story affecting. Notwithstanding the previous reviewer's unaccountable grumpiness, the motives of the key characters are transparent. This is a genre movie (Disney again) but the historical setting and Pansori subject matter elevate it; the performances and story keep your interest with a bit of acceptable melodrama along the way.

My first impression when I was about to watch it was "ah this looks like a boring drama" but I heard it was popular in Korea, so I tried 1 episode. Surprisingly, the drama turned out to be interesting, so I couldn't help but watch it until the end.

I feel like even 12 episodes isn't enough, I want more. I'm afraid to say it, but this is the best Kdrama of 2024. This is the first time I've watched a drama that includes a culture content that seems boring but turns out to be really fun even make me watched Gukgeuk on Youtube. If I ever get a chance to go to Korea, Of course I would pay any amount to watch a Gukgeuk performance live, just like what i saw at the drama.

Kim Taeri once again proving herself as quality guarantee of all the dramas he has played in. Latest Jeongnyeon: The Star is Born.

A drama that I never get bored of watching.

In fact, films with cultural content from other countries already make me bored, let alone a 12-episode series. But it's different with Jeongnyeon, I even wait for it to air every week with enthusiasm. This drama looks luxurious, even matching the quality of a movie. I wonder how the director directs roles within roles, stories within stories, dramas within dramas. It's something great, I've never seen anything like this before.

About acting? There is no doubt when Kim Taeri's name is leading. His acting is already in Daesang level. The Baeksang judges will no longer have to bother thinking about who will win the Daesang because Kim Taeri is there. And of course all the cast did great things too.

Shin Yeeun, Ramiran, Jung Eunchae, Kim Yoonhye, I think they're amazing here. Not just the main cast, Even the girl who played Hong Juran (I don't know her name) She's great, even though she seems like she's still a rookie, but her great acting can match Taeri.

For sure, Jeongnyeon is a masterpiece. And Best drama of the year.

It contains the beauty and unique charm of Korean culture, packaged in a fun and meaningful way.
