Reporters Taeyoo and TenAsia will properly cover every aspect of the drama based on what they heard and saw on site. We will be the eyes and ears of the readers in the era of flood of dramas pouring from numerous channels.
Im Seong-han was Im Seong-han. TV Chosun's weekend mini-series 'Missy Durian' was shocked with grotesque and unconventional settings from the first episode. The problem is that if Phoebe (Lim Seong-han)'s last-minute developments had a taste of 'watching while swearing', 'Missy Durian' is missing even the fun. The setting of homosexuality between husband and wife is shocking beyond absurd.
'Assisi Durian', which was first broadcast on the 24th, tells the story of two unknown women who appeared at the moment of a lunar eclipse and the strange fate of the Dan family. It is a fantasy melodrama written for the first time by Lim Seong-han, who recorded the highest ratings ever for a TV Chosun drama with 'Wedding lyricist and divorce composer'.
In the unveiled 'Missy Durian', Im Seong-han's color was deeply buried from the first episode. The names of unique characters, vast lines of dialogue, and unexpected developments continued. From the opening, Chairman Baek Do-yi (played by Choi Myung-gil), who has been rejuvenated by having her face ripped off, throws a grand 70th birthday party, and culminates with the first daughter-in-law Jang Se-mi (played by Yoon Hae-young) confessing her love to her mother-in-law.
"I love my mother. Not as a daughter-in-law, but as a woman. Do you know what that means?" it was itself
Gobu's homosexuality was predicted before the broadcast, but this was beyond imagination. Confessing your love with a sincere face even among family members who are dumbfounded, and asking your husband to understand you is an act outside of common sense. Furthermore, in this scene, Baek Do-i and Dan Chi-jeong (Ji Young-san)'s inner thoughts were subtitled, and the esoteric effect broke the immersion of the play.
In the meantime, writer Lim Seong-han has created numerous dramas such as 'Marriage Lyricist Divorce Composition' series, 'Mermaid Girl', 'Fairy of the King', 'Heaven', 'New Gisaeng', 'Princess Aurora', etc. Extreme character setting, story extension for extension, etc. raised criticism and topics at the same time.
In 'My God,' a character died from laughing too much while watching TV, and in 'The Tale of a Gisaeng', lasers came out of the eyes of a middle-aged man possessed by a ghost. In 'Princess Aurora', the main character suffering from cancer spit out an absurd line, "Cancer cells are also life", which caused gossip.
Seong-Han Lim, who has been doing it, and now even contains the story of a daughter-in-law who loves her mother-in-law. Unfortunately, it was difficult to find viewers who expressed fun and sympathy for these developments. After the broadcast, viewers poured out criticism on the writer, and even the word 'exit' was mentioned.
The ratings were also lower than expected. The viewership rating for the first episode of 'Assisi Durian' was 4.2%, which was lower than the lowest viewership rating of 4.9% for the previous 'Wedding lyricist and divorce composer' series. This is the lowest viewer rating among the works that Im Seong-han showed on TV Chosun.
There was a time when 'Lim Seong-han-pyo' was popular, but now the level of viewers has also improved. It may have succeeded in attracting attention as a last resort, but it is difficult to gain sustained popularity without artistic quality. Watching while swearing is also appropriate. Although it is difficult to build up, it only takes a moment to collapse. Star writers are no exception.
