Monday-Tuesday and Wednesday-Thursday Drama ‘The Golden Age of Korean Actresses’
In the first half of this year, dramas were adorned with historical genres and the appearance of actors derived from idols. Currently, the drama is centered on the actress. Actresses from terrestrial dramas and cable tv rarely co-exist on Monday-Tuesday and Wednesday-Thursday dramas. Their beauty is just a plus, but their acting skills that actually give them opportunity to shine.
Monday-Tuesday drama has become ‘an era of actress development’. Jung Ryeo Won from KBS 2TV drama ‘Witch’s Court’, Han Ye Seul from MBC drama ’20th Century Boy and Girl’, Seo Hyu Jin from SBS ‘Temperature of Love’ and the last Jung So Min from tvN ‘Because This Is My First Life ‘. This is their shining era. They all lead and become the center in the drama. Their common, active, and subjective characters do not seem to be outdone by the power of male actors.
Wednesday-Thursday drama has also become a breakthrough. MBC ‘Hospital Ship’ and tvN ‘Avengers Social Club’ starring Ha Ji Won, Lee Yo Won, Ra Mi Ran and Myung Se Bin. Many believe in Ha Ji Won’s acting in ‘Hospital Ship’. Ha Ji Won has a great sense of responsibility for leading the drama because of the little experience of Kang Min Hyuk, Lee Seo Won, and Kim In Suk. Lee Yo Won, Ra Mi Ran, and Myung Se Bin show their strength in the ‘Avengers Social Club’. The three actresses create different atmospheres, synergies, and harmony. When viewed from the length of the career journey of the actress, then their acting ability is easy to be recognized.
A representative of the drama once explained, “There are many reasons for the success of actresses, but there are also autumnal effects that affect women. The actress is easier to touch the viewer’s mind with her ability to express emotions in detail than actors.”
The actresses’ active role in dramas has narrowed the role of the actors. The more people acknowledge the ability of the actress, then the space for the actor will be less. The production side also said, “If you find a more talented actor than the actress, the average main character will increase. Naturally younger men will be in casting a lot. And in this case the actress will be the center character. “
