Won Ji-an, where did the acting skills of 'DP · Juvenile Delinquency' go... First lead role in 'Creak Duck'

Actor Won Ji-an, who made an impression on the public with his debut film, is cringing. It is a situation where he is not shining in 'My Heart Beats', his first terrestrial lead role. He was on the cutting board for his vocalizations and awkward facial expressions that did not match the character.

Won Jian announced a splendid debut with Netflix's 'DP'. At the same time as he appeared, he was called 'him' in episode 3 of 'DP', raising questions about Won Ji-an. With a resemblance to singer/actress Suzy, her charming low-pitched voice was enough to catch the attention of viewers. I thought she was the obedient girlfriend of the deserter in the play, but she left a strong impression by perfecting the role of Moon Yeong-ok, who gives a twist by stabbing her boyfriend in the back.

Also, the subtle emotional acting with actor Jung Hae-in was well received. Won Ji-an, who successfully completed her debut film, began to solidify her position as an expected actor. After that, the work I chose was the season (seezn) original teenage noir drama 'Boy Delinquency'. In the work, she played the role of Kyung Da-jung, an 18-year-old girl who struggles to sell hemp herself after being used as a means of transporting drugs. He once again proved his acting ability by delicately expressing the noir that is difficult for a rookie to digest.

Won Ji-an, who has been showing dark acting, started transforming into a romantic comedy. Naturally, attention was drawn to Won Ji-an's first terrestrial starring work, 'My Heart Beats'. In the KBS 2TV Monday-Tuesday drama 'My Heart Beats', Seon Woo-hyeol (Ok Taek-yeon), a half-human vampire who failed to become human due to a difference of one day in 100 years, and Joo-hae (Won Ji-an), a woman with no human beauty, somehow start living together. , is a romance that seeks true warmth.

However, Won Ji-an's performance in 'My Heart Beats' was below expectations. It is said that the acting tone that does not match the romantic comedy hindered the immersion in the play. The screaming scenes in particular are uncomfortably awkward. Maybe it's because I've only been doing genre stuff? Viewers criticized Won Ji-an for her acting that did not suit the bright atmosphere of the drama.

As a result, the viewers of 'My Heart Beats' also left one by one. The viewership rating for the first episode was 4.1%, indicating a pleasant start, but from the second episode, it recorded a decline of 3%. It is a disappointing result compared to the previous work, 'How I Ran into You'.

'My heart is beating' is a total of 16 episodes, and only 4 episodes have been aired. That means there are ample opportunities for a rebound. In fact, the ratings for the 4th episode, which aired on the 4th, also slightly increased compared to the 3rd episode. Also, it is not at the bottom among the dramas aired on Mondays and Tuesdays. Viewers are still looking forward to 'Heartbeat'.

Meanwhile, it is known that Won Jian will appear in season 2 of the popular Netflix series 'Squid Game'. As the female cast of season 1, Jeong Ho-yeon, is loved worldwide, Won Ji-an will also have high expectations for season 2. However, it is time to solve the homework right in front of him, the controversy over his 'heart racing' acting ability.
