Kim Tae-ri, who was written as a 'ghost', received the 'Actress Award' for her acting possessed by a ghost

Writer Kim Eun-hee, who wrote scripts such as the dramas 'Sign', 'Signal' and Netflix's 'Kingdom' series, met Kim Tae-ri in the SBS Friday-Saturday drama 'Ghost'. The two have definitely captured the mania layer. Accordingly, Kim Tae-ri was evaluated as having booked more than one trophy at this year's acting awards for her ghostly acting.

According to Nielsen Korea, a ratings research company, on the 23rd, the 10th episode of SBS Friday-Saturday drama 'Ghost', which aired on the 22nd, recorded 10.9% of nationwide households and 13.7% of the highest rating at the moment. 'Ghost', which first aired on the 23rd of last month, started with a viewer rating of 9.9% and has maintained 10%.

'Ghost' is the story of San-young (played by Kim Tae-ri), a woman who is possessed by demons, and Ha-hae (played by Oh Jeong-se), a man who can see the demon, uncovering a mysterious death. The meeting between writer Kim Eun-hee and Kim Tae-ri garnered attention even before the broadcast. In fact, before the airing, it was predicted that 'Ghost' would be divided in likes and dislikes because it was an unfamiliar genre called a Korean occult mystery.

When you open the lid, there are people who have never seen it, but there is no one who has only seen it once. The synergy between writer Kim Eun-hee, who is good at genre works, and Kim Tae-ri, who first challenged genre works, stands out. From episode 1 to episode 10 (9.9%, 10%, 11%, 10%, 10.8%, 9.5%, 10.6%, 10.4%, 10.3%, 10.9%), there is no big change in viewer ratings. A slight decrease or a slight increase to maintain 10%. This means that it has definitely captured the hearts of maniacs by overcoming the limits of genre.

The reasons for captivating the maniacs include writer Kim Eun-hee's writing skills and the cast's solid acting skills. What stands out among them is Kim Tae-ri's goosebumps acting. Kim Tae-ri is in a state of being gradually blinded by a demon. Among the parts aired on the 22nd, the most eye-catching was Kim Tae-ri's ghost-possessed performance.

In the play, Sanyeong and Hae-hae found out that the name of the demon was not Lee Mok-dan. A situation where you only need to find two out of five demon-related objects. The two found a fourth object, a glass bottle, in the abandoned house where the victim hanged himself, which occurred around the bristles. It was San-young who found this glass bottle. As soon as Sanyoung touched the glass bottle, he acted strangely as if possessed by a demon.

Sanyoung immediately ran to the convenience store, broke the glass of the drink stand, and drank water at random. "I kept begging for something to eat. Just a sip of water. You killed me." Then he told me to find the last item.

Not only that, but San-young found out that the goblin had purchased the life insurance policy of her mother, Gyeong-moon (played by Park Ji-young). The next victim cried out in fear that Sanyeong might become the most beloved and cherished gyeongmun.

Kim Tae-ri's ghostly performance, who played San-yeong, is capturing the hearts of occult genre maniacs. Kim Tae-ri shows extreme emotions, from the appearance of a demon full of anger to the appearance of chaos in fear of losing a loved one.

At the beginning of the play, Kim Tae-ri used her facial muscles to differentiate the appearances of the demon and San-yeong. As the play progresses, it is to the point where it is impossible to tell whether the demon is Sanyoung or the Sanyeong is a demon. Accordingly, Kim Tae-ri reserved at least one trophy at the SBS 'Acting Awards' this year. It is because it has all three elements, including ratings, topicality, and acting skills. Now, there are only two episodes left until the end of 'Ghost'. What else will Kim Tae-ri show in the remaining rounds? His filmography is on its way to its peak.
