Why did’Queen of Iron Man’ choose Cheoljong… The two faces come and go

tvN’s Saturday and Sunday drama’The Iron Man’ is showing a steady rise. In the first week of the broadcast, ‘The Annals of the Joseon Dynasty’ was expressed as ‘Jirashi’, and real characters such as Queen Shinjeong were expressed differently from the facts, leading to controversy over the distortion of history, and Shencheng ( As the disgusting disposition of 鲜橙) became known, he caught the ankle, but did not give in. The production crew rapidly evolved the controversy by revising the households of Mr. Andong Kim and Mr. Poong Yangjo to Mr. An Song Kim and Mr. Pung An Jo, respectively, and viewers watched it with half anxiety and anticipation. The fusion historical drama that combines Timeslip succeeded in box office success by recording 13.2% of the 12th viewership as the reasons for choosing the Cheoljong era were revealed one by one. There is plenty of room for additional upside with the entire 20-part series.

The keyword that introduces Cheoljong (Kim Jeong-hyun) in the play is’Joseon Edition Jekyll & Hyde’. On the outside, it looks like a’scarecrow king’ who is not interested in affairs due to the convergence of Queen Sunwon (Bae Jong-ok) of the great queen, but the reason is that it is a’pretend king of the end plate’, who cannot know what kind of thing he has. It’s not just that they have one or two faces. The soul of Macho Chef Jang Bong-Hwan (Choi Jin-hyuk), who commanded the Blue House of Korea, who took a time-slip in an accident, is embedded in the body of the middle warlord Kim So-Yong (Shin Hye-seon), and the concubine Hwa-Jin (Seol In-ah) pretended to be Kim So-Yong and became Cheoljong’s first love. Among the figures in the palace, Kim So-yong is the only person in the palace who does not wear a mask and reveals his real face. Because of this, we have no eagerness to deceive and deceive each other.

If Shin Hye-seon, who has been reborn as a “viewer rating guarantee check” after “My Golden Life” (2017-2018), takes on the role of an unprecedented midfielder and flies, Kim Jung-hyun (31), who plays Cheoljong, will firmly support it. Even if Jungjeon spits out a word he hears for the first time in his life, such as’Notachi’, he accepts it as “let’s live well”, and even if he jumps without covering only the water, he puts it back in place and balances it. When there was a problem in preparing the food for the Suit Day banquet, Jungjeon invited him to see the bean meat burger McDonaldu, which showed his decomposition with suicide, and said,’Borritt and soybean meat’, barley mac, soybean, and fat raw. If you look at Cheoljong, which is interpreted as Bae Doo (肚), there is no separate Buchangbusu. Although they have different meanings, they achieve an exquisite harmony with no problems in communication.

Kim Jung-hyun’s growth is also noticeable. In his previous work, tvN’Crash Landing on Love’ (2019~2020), he was well received as a British businessman, Seung-Jun Koo, who lives between South Korea and North Korea. He knows when he should look like a scarecrow and when he should look like a strong monarch, and pulls out the right face. Born to the parents of a Chinese character teacher and a Korean history teacher, it adds to the fun of seeing a completely different aspect from Cheoljong, who was known by Jang Bong-Hwan, who has a good knowledge in history. It is not a horny with eight wives, but a kindness that lives in love, or it is not irresponsibility that I do not know about Minsaenggo.

The time he struggled with MBC’s’Time’ (2018) became an opportunity to make him even stronger. At the time of the production presentation, starting with a controversy about his attitude, after getting off the train due to an eating disorder and a sleep disorder, the gaze at him for a while was not fine. Labels such as insincerity or lack of responsibility could have been followed for a long time, but after a one year and five month hiatus, the’Crash Landing of Love’ came back to clean it. He talked with PD Lee Jeong-hyo for 3-4 hours and later received the script, and in an interview at the time, he referred to PD Lee and Park Ji-eun as’eunin’. “I felt like I was standing on the edge of a cliff, but thanks to receiving a lot of love, I was able to rehabilitate and flesh out my heart.” After taking a breath, it became a time to “recover both body and mind”.

He debuted in 2015 with his first feature film’Superin’, and from the beginning, he showed potential as a’expectant’. Starting from acting dubbing at a junior high school curator, he made a drama department in high school and showed a special affection enough to put it on the stage with a screenplay written by himself. Although his debut was a little later than his classmates at the Korea National University of Arts, such as Park Jung-min, Byeon Yo-han, and EXO Suho, he has been leading the role in KBS2’School 2017′ and JTBC’s’Eurachacha Waikiki’ and sharpened the blade. Now, if he finds his speed, who has reduced his hiatus and said he wants to act diligently like a cow or a cultivator, will it be a matter of time to catch up. As he said, “Acting makes me a better person,” I hope that the more filmography accumulates, the more I can be reborn as an actor who believes and sees.
