Another ending, another genre... Return of writers Kim Eun-hee and Lim Seong-han, between expectations and concerns
It is the return of a star writer who drives a topic for each work, but expectations and concerns intersect. Kim Eun-hee, who was criticized for poor development in the previous work, and Lim Seong-han (Phoebe), who was beaten with a great ending without context, will face each other side by side. While romantic comedies such as 'King the Land' and 'Take Care of This Student' colored home theaters, can the genre and the dead end become a card that is eaten by the public?
Kim Eun-hee and Lim Seong-han will show SBS' new Friday-Saturday drama 'Ghost' and TV Chosun's weekend mini-series 'Missy Durian' on the 23rd and 24th, respectively.
'Ghost' is a Korean-style occult mystery drama in which a woman possessed by a demon and a man who can see the demon uncover a mysterious death. It is a new work by Kim Eun-hee, who has been recognized as a master of the genre by writing 'Sign', 'Ghost', 'Signal', and 'Kingdom', in collaboration with SBS in about 9 years since 'Three Days' in 2014. Actors Kim Tae-ri and Oh Jung-se, who believe and see, are joining forces and raising expectations.

'Assisi Durian' is the first fantasy melodrama written by Lim Seong-han, who recorded the highest ratings ever for a TV Chosun drama with 'wedding lyricist and divorce composer'. It tells the story of two unknown women who appeared at the moment of a lunar eclipse and the strange fate of the Dan family. Through the teaser video released earlier, the daughter-in-law confesses to her mother-in-law and kisses her, so-called 'godfather romance', which was foreshadowed and shocked.
Although the public's interest has soared only with the name value of the work of Kim Eun-hee and Lim Seong-han, some voices of concern are flowing out along with expectations.

In the background is Kim Eun-hee's previous work, 'Mt. Jirisan', which remained as a painful failure. Awkward CG (computer graphics), background music that does not match the flow of the play, excessive PPL, and other directing elements that hinder the flow of the play were pointed out as problems, but disappointment in the narrative of the work was great. Kim Eun-hee's unique strengths, such as elaborate development, stacked double lines and twists, disappeared, and viewers criticized the distracted and stretched development.
It is true that the public's expectations for Kim's next work have fallen. Here, 'Demon' is an occult genre with strong mania elements, so it is unclear whether it will gain popular popularity.

Writer Lim Seong-han was criticized for the over-the-top ending of his previous work, 'Death Song 3'. Seo Dong-ma (Boo-bae) suddenly dies after being hit by a thin gypsum board, Seo-ban (Moon Seong-ho) and already-dead Song-won (Lee Min-young) get married, and Ami (Song Ji-in) and Judge Hyun (Kang Shin-hyo) get married. The romance of <#4> unfolds promiscuously, and the end of the play is not finished at all.
Here, in a written interview with a media, Im Seong-han said, 'Seo Dong-ma does not die and becomes an AI. The western class was also AI', which made viewers absurd.
'Demon' and 'Mistress Durian' are filled with concerns and expectations even before the broadcast. It is only natural that if he follows the same steps as his previous work, even in this work, his reputation as a 'star writer' will be greatly damaged. Attention is focusing on how Kim Eun-hee and Lim Seong-han will be evaluated on the judgment table.
