- Who is able to bring out the allure of Moon Geun Young's 'uneasiness' ? [EnterMedia=novelist 박진규의 옆구리tv (KBS - Park Jinkyu's lateral thinking TV )]
<Cheongdam-dong, Alice> concluded with a happy ending. In the drama, Cheongdam-dong is extremely realistic like a nearby neighborhood rather than a peculiar world. Seems worldly people, heartless people, being deceived and deceiving each other. Shabby neighbor can be seen everywhere around us, but indecent neighbor is poorly wrapped with a little elegance anywhere you live. The more Se Gyeong (Moon Geun Young) parents showing the warm-hearted and humanity, the more they are considered as closer to the world of fairy tale.
<Cheongdam-dong, Alice> concluded with a happy ending. In the drama, Cheongdam-dong is extremely realistic like a nearby neighborhood rather than a peculiar world. Seems worldly people, heartless people, being deceived and deceiving each other. Shabby neighbor can be seen everywhere around us, but indecent neighbor is poorly wrapped with a little elegance anywhere you live. The more Se Gyeong (Moon Geun Young) parents showing the warm-hearted and humanity, the more they are considered as closer to the world of fairy tale.
Therefore, dowdy Se Gyeong's childhood was brought out in the purely fairy tale world, a heroine who entry into a world full of the realization, cold-heartedness, and indecency. In fact, it is not easy for an actress to create the character like Se Gyeong who is very down-to-earth, and at the same time, must be extremely pure. A character who's easy to get criticized for a wrong step. Alice in Wonderland always shrink as she gains in something, <Cheongdam-dong, Alice> Se Gyeong is a tough and difficult character who has to judge self emotions.
What are my real feelings? I have confidence that I am pure and healthy people, why in front of the man I love, I become a materialistic person?
Actress Moon Geun Young somehow looks as Se Gyeong convincingly, personate efforts can be seen. Happy ending drama is over, is Moon Geun Young's acting succeeding? Half a success, but it is not satisfactory. Many citizens will recall Moon Geun Young as Korea's sweat heart , but I'm not. For me, I've learned Moon Geun Young 'anxiety' eyes . Sometimes I think, her big black eyes, sometimes lovable, occasionally like a candlelight, sometimes wobbling, seems to collect the darkness surrounding her.
Moon Geun Young, at her tender age, learned now to hold people's breath for a little while without speech. As a child actress, living in a secluded life at the time of <Autumn in my heart>, so does the misfortune Empress of <Empress Myong-song>. However, her anxiety been exposed utmost in her film of <A Tale of Two Sisters - Rose Flower, Red Lotus>. The poor girl Su-yeon witnessed blood mother committed suicide inside of wardrobe, (translator: terrified and accidentally pulled the wardrobe down on top of herself) she was buried and crushed to death. Heroine Su-mi by Su-yeon's side with unconsciously grief, she is roaming like a ghost. After the end of the film, moviegoers comment that Su-yeon detained pupils are trying to say a good many much that she can speak no more.
Since then, Moon Geun Young, the bright actress proved herself in the movie like <My Little Bride> <Innocent Steps>, and more, she appeared on drama <Painter of the Wind>. In this drama, on account of Moon Geun Young's outstanding talent, on the contrary of female, give the character a masculine (translator: personification), who play as painter Shin Yunbok at Painting Bureau and make a living. Tie up a topknot, boy or girl unknow, looks simply a transvestite, bcos of this drama went well, her grand appearance received wide exposure.
Both in drama and movie, Moon Geun Young is female transvestite commonly, who can tailored fit into Yunbok's character and life easily. Yunbok's innate genius with bright and untained confidence, yet she had cheated and live in a boy's life, so her eyes always look restless and stay with her for a long time. In <Painter of the Wind>, Moon Geun Young, not obvious but cute transvestite, self-portray artist Yunbok faithfully.
The problem is that Moon Geun Young is able to digest herself into this wonderful role, her work was undertaken too hard at a young age. Moon Geun Young's eyes are still saying a lot of things, her splendid actings among most child actors is so aggressive and a lot of heavy side. So, while portraying a character fits extremely appropriate to her age, Moon Geun Young is alleged she can handle burdensome character with ease (translator: as if weight-lifting is light)
<Cinderella's sister> was considered as she cooped with these transition periods properly. Eunjo is pretending to live as a grown-up confidently and hiding her feelings thoroughly. But look a little bit deeper into Eunjo more, and learned that she is still growing, and too young. Moon Geun Young at that age created by herself the distorted adult child.
But thereafter she accepted drama <Mary stayed out all night> the lovely Mary's puzzled love, Moon Geun Young was playing more attractive than others in the same character. Once again she returned via Se Gyeong of <Cheongdam-dong, Alice>, so to speak this character, Moon Geun Young's advantages and disadvantages were collided in appearance with nothing miss. The advantages of Se Gyeong are thinking seriously and well understood, the weaknesses are she worry too much and her expressions way too inflexible. Consequently, Moon Geun Young's eyes express her sorrow but there are quite a few of her expressions or lines of this play seems suffocating. Child acts grown-up, in order to analyze the feeling, so looks over-acting?
Anyway, <Cheongdam-dong, Alice> comes to an end, Moon Geun Young come to us again as another character. It is indeed as former Korea's sweetheart, Moon Geun Young will become what kind of actress in the future? At her age of 25, it's been 13 years since she made her acting debut back in 1999, feels that Moon Geun Young is standing at the crossroads desperately. Now it's time to leave the road of lovely younger sister who is light weighted as candy, when she play the "in love", do not over-acting, it's way too heavy. However, Moon Geun Young is one of the actress whose stable performance unchanged and heightened the emotions of the audience.
If maximum Moon Geun Young's unique anxiousness in order to create the great role, what will happen if she dramatize herself? Furthermore, solves her model student's acting method and release a little more freedom. Movie <L'Appartemen> or <Mina Tannenbaum> in young and madness grow restless, something we make it pitiful, the art character dramatize herself, such as child of the 90's, the France actress Romane Bohringer. But indeed movie and drama dragged out Moon Geun Young's hidden charm, now sure enuf from this point, how might-have-been. So inevitably, Moon Geun Young, the actress full of expectations, becomes restless as ever.
