Chapter 84: Commentary

Time flies, time flies, and in the blink of an eye, another week has passed.

The repercussions of Roh Moo-hyun's suicide are still ongoing in South Korea, but for the busy crew, the attention has long been quietly diverted by busy work.

After experiencing a decline in ratings for episodes 9 and 10, episodes 11 and 12 of "Splendid Legacy" aired reached new highs, reaching 31.9% and 33.8% respectively.

The continuous high ratings have made the popularity of the TV series explode again, attracting more and more viewers to pay attention to the development of the TV series.

Entering June, in the 7th week of the TV series' broadcast, on June 7, the ratings of the 14th episode of the TV series exceeded 35% for the first time, reaching a record high of 35.4%.

In the plot broadcast this week, Huan's grandmother made a will, and Eun Sung will get all the inheritance of her grandmother, including the land, and in the face of this earth-shattering change, Huan was stunned and couldn't believe it.

Hwan rushes to store 2 and drags Eun-sung's arm to the rooftop, saying honestly that he never wanted anything or wanted to do anything, but now he has something he wants to do. He swears he won't let Eun-sung snatch his grandmother's company from him. After this great change, he returned to work with a new attitude, which impressed everyone.

But as he gets in touch with Eun Sung more, Hwan gradually begins to like Eun Sung, but mistakenly thinks that Eun Sung hates him and falls into distress.

After the broadcast of the 7th week of the episode, the audience on the Internet discussed the change and growth of Xian Yuhuan's personality played by Li Zheng, and also made detailed comments on Li Zheng's acting skills.

"Xian Yuhuan - a 'bear child' who is an adult in body and naïve in his heart, but people love and hate.

Before the broadcast of "Splendid Legacy", a series of sensational events had already made me know Kang Jun-hyuk who played Xian Yuhuan, his handsomeness, his genius, his knowledge, and his experience...... Everything about him made me feel a great liking for him, but in terms of acting, to be honest, as much as I admired him, as a person who is more rational than emotional, I didn't expect much from him.

The lack of performance experience is one factor, and the appearance of being too handsome and handsome is also another factor - if an actor is too handsome, the audience will inevitably ignore other aspects.

But after the TV series was broadcast, Kang Junhyuk's acting skills gave me a great surprise.

Xian Yuhuan appeared as a gentleman at the beginning, he was arrogant, he was domineering, he was stubborn, he held grudges, he was naïve, he was very childish, he always looked like a cool one, and did something annoying and indebted.

For such a male lead, most viewers should be disgusted, but Kang Junhyuk's sincere and delicate acting skills give the character a different charm from other playboys in TV dramas.

There is a very immature part of his character, he is very dragged, and he is also very childish, unconvinced by a woman to beat his nose and face is swollen, always thinking about winning back a city, but he always loses to that woman, so there are pigeons, stumbling, pulling necks and other childish 'evil deeds' that are hated by everyone, these 'evil deeds' make him like a sad and ridiculous bear child who grabs toys and can't win a girl but always doesn't admit defeat and tries to get back a game.

In the plot of the previous TV series, his childish performance always makes people have an urge to beat him, but even when he is at his worst, he can still see that he is different, although he spends a lot of money in nightclubs with his fox friends and dog friends, but when everyone else hugs left and right, he always stays out of the way, not in the same stream, he is like an innocent teenager who does not grow up, and he will not pay a trace of attention to girls who are not interested.

But the reason why Kang Junhyuk's Xian Yuhuan will make the audience like it is not only that he plays such a naïve and innocent character, but also that his uniqueness is also manifested in the fact that he gives people a different feeling when he gets along with various people, not that kind of single face-painted character.

In front of ordinary people, he is a son-in-law who can't be dragged anymore, in front of his mother and sister, he is a spoiled son and an unruly brother, in front of his grandmother, he is a stubborn grandson who loves to be coquettish, loves to be temperamental, and wants to be affirmed, but in front of Junshi, he is an awkward brother who says he hates in his mouth and envies in his heart but loves and hates because of his brother's excellence, in front of Sheng Mei, he is a warm, generous and understanding brother, but in front of Enxing, he is a naïve boy who loves to quarrel but always can't win, sometimes domineering and unreasonable, sometimes shy and innocent……

Every aspect of him is so impressive, but it is perfectly and naturally integrated in a person, making the character more three-dimensional and flexible, and at the same time, it also makes the audience love him more and leave a deeper impression in the hearts of the audience. ”

"Belated transformation, budding love, sublimation of acting skills - the growth of an actor's self.

I often hear people say that drama is like life, and life is into drama.

Drama is the refinement of life, and life is the soil for the growth of drama.

In real life, there is no love for no reason, no hate for no reason, and certainly no growth and transformation for no reason.

In this week's episode, Kang Jun-hyuk's Hyun Woo-hwan finally underwent a drastic change in personality after experiencing the earth-shattering change of his grandmother's will to be inherited by Eun Sung. He has grown from an arrogant young master who does everything as he pleases to a hard-working young man who no longer likes to work hard and puts down his work.

The attitude towards Eun Sung has also changed from disgust and contempt at the beginning to nervousness and liking now.

But this transformation and growth is not achieved overnight, but there is a process of accumulation and gradual change.

In this process, whether or not you can grasp this gradual change in the character's personality is the best proof of whether an actor's acting skills are qualified, and it is also the best test of whether an actor has growth potential.

From the beginning to the present, from episode 1 to episode 14, I have seen the growth of an actor's self.

At this point, I have to admire the foresight and precision of the director and screenwriter in the selection of the male lead, Kang Junhyuk's grasp of the character's personality and the way of interpretation express this gradual process three-dimensional and vividly, making the growth of Xian Yuhuan's character cute, sincere, real and credible.

In the grasp and interpretation of the character's character, he does not follow the script, flat and straightforward, and only deduces the character's arrogant and annoying character shortcomings on the surface, but while reflecting the character's shortcomings, he also loses no time in showing the beautiful and kind side of the character from the side, which makes the character's shortcomings cute, and makes people smile at the same time as they are annoyed.

This kind of grasp and control of the role, and the excavation and interpretation of the inner depth of the role, is the biggest difference between an ordinary actor and an excellent actor.

Although I didn't know much about Kang Jun-hyuk before, from this drama, I knew that there will be another rising star in the Korean entertainment industry that will shine brightly in the sky. ”
