• Go Min Si Showed Off Her Pure White Angel-Like Visual In Latest Pictorial For Beauty-Life Magazine

    Beauty-Life magazine released a pictorial of actress Go Min Si.

    Go Min Si surprised everyone by revealing a pure white angel-like visual in front of the camera with the white studio behind her. With natural makeup and simple styled clothes, she completed a unique clean image, creating a 'worrying' pictorial literally.

    From the movie “The Witch,” which showed realistic acting like a real best friend, to the drama “Youth of May,” which made viewers cry with its desperate melodies. Ever since she first revealed her face to the public, she has been working hard without a break no matter what anyone says.

    She nodded without hesitation to the question of whether it was good to be busy, and said, "It's good to feel that I'm living today when I'm on set. While I'm working, I feel at ease because I can focus on acting without thinking about anything else. As both the director and the actors work together with the people necessary for the work, there is certainly a reason for my existence.

    She continued, "I want to play a character that breaks away from the typical stereotypes. The role itself is fresh and new, so I think it will be another stimulus,"

    In fact, she had a lot of trouble when she first met the character 'Myung-hee', who renewed her life's character by perfectly digesting even the difficult dialect acting in her first terrestrial drama .

    She said, "I was very worried because it was a character that was quite different from the character I had previously taken on. I studied how to preserve Myung-hee’s color without interfering with the story, and built the character by watching documentaries and books about the era. "

    Go Min Si said, "I want to become an actor with a color like Aurora. I want to fill the various colors that can't be defined by any one in the background of being an actor."

  • Is Jisoo’s Acting the Main Problem in "Newtopia"? - Here's Why Fans Are Worried About the New Zombie Series

    The new OTT series Newtopia has faced mixed reactions, with BLACKPINK’s Jisoo's acting and a slow storyline making viewers question if the show can survive.

    Released on the 7th, Newtopia on Coupang Play promised to offer something fresh in the K-zombie genre. The drama follows an unlikely couple, Lee Jae-yoon (played by Park Jung Min), a late-blooming soldier, and his girlfriend Kang Young-joo (Jisoo), as they fight to survive in a zombie-infested Seoul.

    The mix of zombies and romantic comedy sounded like an interesting twist, but the show hasn’t exactly hit the mark.

    Jisoo’s second lead role after Snowdrop in 2021 was highly anticipated. But many fans and critics have been concerned about her acting, especially after she received some backlash for her unclear pronunciation and awkward expressions in her previous project.

    Director Yoon Sung-hyun, aware of the concerns, said at the press preview, “Since Jisoo hadn’t acted for a long time after her last project, I was also initially worried, thinking, ‘Will she be okay?’ But Jisoo dedicated herself, doing script readings four days a week. She worked hard, and as a result, I had no doubts or difficulties. By episode 8, you'll feel that only Jisoo could have portrayed Young-joo. She did an amazing job.”

    Despite his words of praise, Jisoo’s performance still left fans worried. While she showed some improvement, her portrayal of Young-joo seemed inconsistent, lacking the calmness expected from the character. However, her "girl crush" image, with her background as a "campus goddess," did add some intrigue to her role.

    The main issue, however, wasn’t just Jisoo's acting. Newtopia also struggled with its pacing. While other recent hits like Trauma Center or Trigger grab attention right from the start, Newtopia spent too much time in the first episode on Jae-yoon’s military life and Young-joo’s personal struggles, making it feel like a waste of time. The show failed to showcase the humor and zombie elements it promised, leaving many viewers unimpressed.

    On top of that, some characters came off as annoying, like Jae-yoon’s colleague, Line Ho (Im Seong Jae), and the "unlikable" senior character Seojin-wook (played by Kang Young Seok). Even Park Jung-min didn’t do much to help the show move along, making the 57-minute episode feel even longer.

    Thankfully, the show picked up pace in episode 2, finally diving into the zombie chaos. But will that be enough to save Newtopia? With the first episode still fresh in fans’ minds, the jury’s still out on whether this K-zombie drama can find its footing and deliver the thrills viewers are hoping for.

    The remaining six episodes of Newtopia will air every Friday at 8 PM, with one episode released per week. Stay tuned to see if the series can bounce back!
