The tvN drama ‘Jung Nyeon’, which tells the story of aspiring to be the best gukgeuk actor after the Korean War in the 1950s, is capturing viewers’ attention with its new gukgeuk, ‘Babo and Princess’. With participation from Shin YeEun, Jung EunChae, Kim YoonHye, and Woo DaVi, the performance exudes a unique charm and raises expectations.
The drama ‘Jung Nyeon’ is enjoying overwhelming popularity, ranking first in Good Data Corporation’s TV-OTT integrated buzz, first in Kinolights’ integrated content rankings, and first in YouTube’s domestic drama views, as it races towards its climax. The previous episode 9 depicted the unfortunate situation of Jung Nyeon (played by Kim TaeRi) returning to her hometown due to excessive vocal training, amidst the disordered atmosphere of the Maeran Gukgeuk Troupe, and the ‘Babo and Princess’ performance faced a crisis.
Particularly, Okkyung (played by Jung EunChae) got involved in an opium scandal, putting the performance at risk of being canceled, but her appeal of innocence seemingly put an end to the scandal, though tension lingers. In the upcoming episode 10, the opening of the women’s gukgeuk association joint performance ‘Babo and Princess’ prepared by the director Sobok of the Maeran Gukgeuk Troupe is anticipated, drawing viewers’ expectations.
The released performance poster captures attention with its depiction of actors in the vibrant colors characteristic of the 1950s. The live stage stills featuring Yeongseo, Okkyung, Hyerang, and Juran raise anticipation even further. The intense presence of ‘Maeran’s Prince’ Okkyung and ‘Maeran’s Princess’ Hyerang, along with the sparkling charm of Yeongseo and Juran, who are noted as their successors, stimulate the desire to watch.
However, the absence of Jung Nyeon adds to the regret. Viewers are curious about how the ‘Babo and Princess’ performance will proceed without Jung Nyeon, and what changes Jung Nyeon will undergo in the future.
The tvN drama ‘Jung Nyeon’ airs every Saturday and Sunday at 9:20 PM, with episode 10 being released tonight. Viewers are eagerly awaiting the developments to come.
