[엔터미디어=정덕현의 네모난 세상] Had it not been for replacement, would these works have reached a much better end?. SBS Friday and Saturday drama <Fly away>Has ended, OCN Saturday and Sunday drama <Marvelous rumors>Is now leaving only the last episode. Unfortunately, both dramas went well with good responses,, In the second half ‘substitute‘Suffered a setback.Fly away>Silver performer, The protagonist has also been replaced,Marvelous rumors>Silver writer was replaced.
In fact, despite the extreme situation of replacement, the reason why these works were finished at this level was because the power that these works created at the beginning was not so small..Fly away>The story of the main characters in the drama became a hot topic because it was based on the facts of a lawyer and a reporter specializing in review.. They are lawyers Park Joon-young and reporter Park Sang-gyu, who are already widely known through the media.. The retrial victory process they actually achieved is so dramatic, It was the power that made the fantasy of the drama more realistic..
But what caught the ankle of a well-run drama, It was the drunk driving of Bae Sung-woo, who played the role of Park Sam-soo, the drama character of reporter Park Sang-gyu.. Eventually, there was a situation in which Bae Seong-woo got off and instead, Jung Woo-sung, an actor from the same agency, took over the role.. Of course, Jung Woo-sung tried to avoid breaking the sense of immersion as much as possible by linking the acting styles performed by Bae Sung-woo in almost the same way., Still, there was no way that the change of actors with different images would not have any effect on viewers..
<Marvelous rumors>silver 10.5%(Nielsen Korea)Recording a double-digit audience rating, OCN Although he had the highest grade in drama history, In that situation, a situation that is difficult to understand in common sense, such as the replacement of writers, occurred.. even 15% The work that predicted the audience rating and expected the success of the second half fell to a single-digit audience rating again..
In the second half of the story, the story was filled with only the battles between the counters and the demons,, It may be a coincidence that it went too cartoonish, but it is difficult to see that it has nothing to do with the change of writer. If you recall the story of the early and mid-mid, when the corrupt network connected to politicians, businessmen, and even the swordsmen was connected to the evil spirit, and there was a link with reality in the fantasy, you can realize that the story in the second half was too fantasy.. For whatever reason, it is a regret for viewers that the story has become simpler starting with the change of writers..
Change of cast and artist. In fact, it should never happen in a genre based on a consistent flow like drama and the immersion created by it.. Of course, going through this kind of situation is something the creators never wanted.. However, as it is the viewers’ responsibility to endure the aftermath, it is time to be aware of the consequences of this in future drama production..
What if both works were finished well to the end without replacement?.Fly away>or <Marvelous rumors> Both viewers are early in the season2It is true that I have been asking for. But in the second half ‘substitute‘‘S aftermath is raising doubts about whether these demands are still valid.. It cannot be a disappointing result..
