'Jeongnyeoni' is set in the 1950s, post-Korean War, and follows the journey of Jeongnyeoni, a 'born genius of sound', as she strives to become the top gukgeuk actress. The drama captures the competition, camaraderie, and brilliant growth surrounding Jeongnyeoni. Directed by Jeong Ji-in, known for 'The Red Sleeve', the drama stars Kim Tae-ri (as Yoon Jeongnyeon), Shin Ye-eun (as Heo Yeongseo), Ra Mi-ran (as Kang Sobok), Jung Eun-chae (as Moon Okkyung), Kim Yoon-hye (as Seo Hyerang), with special appearances by Moon So-ri (as Seo Yongrye) and Lee Deok-hwa (as Gong Sunbu), raising high expectations.
Amidst this, the 'Jeongnyeoni' team has released a 'growth poster' encapsulating the heartwarming growth story of the protagonist Jeongnyeoni, sparking curiosity and anticipation. Kim Tae-ri's character, 'Yoon Jeongnyeon', is a sound genius who moves to Seoul from Mokpo alone to become a gukgeuk actress. She possesses not only the foundational skills of a sound artist but also strong resilience, tenacity, and an affable nature that allows her to befriend anyone.
The released poster captures three photos of Jeongnyeoni embarking on her brilliant challenge to become the top gukgeuk actress in an era of romance. The first photo draws attention as Jeongnyeoni practices gukgeuk alone in her hometown of Mokpo, deeply immersed in her practice amidst the lush village scenery. Though inexperienced, her earnest demeanor is as fresh as a budding sprout.
In the next photo, Jeongnyeoni is seen entering the 'Maeran Women's Gukgeuk Troupe', the top gukgeuk troupe of the time. She performs a piece in front of the trainees, not intimidated by the numerous gazes but rather confidently enjoying the attention, showcasing her potential as a future star.
The final photo shows Jeongnyeoni as a charismatic gukgeuk actress, exuding a thrilling presence. Her dazzling costume and makeup are captivating, but what stands out the most is the aura of a star emanating from Jeongnyeoni. She shines like the brightest star in a different world, basking in the spotlight.
Connecting the three photos of Jeongnyeoni's gestures, it appears like a powerful wingbeat of a bird soaring towards a new world. With just these three photos, the heartwarming growth story of Mokpo's sound genius Yoon Jeongnyeon evokes deep emotions, heightening curiosity about how it will unfold in the main story. tvN's new weekend drama 'Jeongnyeoni' is set to premiere on October 12 at 9:20 PM.
