[Focus Y] There's no problem with the weight of the crown..."Quiet Sales" Soyeon Kim, Infinite Transformation of "Target Actor"

From evil girl to candy, it's an infinite character transformation. Actor Soyeon Kim, who reached the peak of his acting career by winning the grand prize trophy with "Cheon Seo-jin," the evil girl in the drama "Penthouse" series, released his acting skills with a new appearance that perfectly erased his previous character in the new work.

Soyeon Kim returned to the CRT with JTBC's Saturday-Sunday drama "Quiet Sales," which first aired on the 12th. It is the first new film to be released in about a year since the tvN drama "Gu Mi-ho 1938," which ended in June last year, and it is expected to show what it will look like by playing the title role "Jeong Han-sook."

'Quiet Sales' is a drama about the self-reliance, growth and friendship of four "Bangpan Sisters" who entered a rural village in 1992 when sex was taboo, and entered the door-to-door sale of adult products. The work, which started with a 3.9% viewer rating in the first episode, steadily drew an upward curve and recorded 6.0% in the sixth episode.

Soyeon Kim is at the center of leading "quiet sales," which smoothly turned around. Although he has a sad secret, he proved his long acting skills by expressing the candy-type character "Quiet," which does not lose its bright and positive appearance, with a cheerful yet immersive expression.

◆ bear the weight of the crown...'Penthouse' successfully erased Chun Seo-jin∀, who debuted in 1994, enjoyed huge popularity as a high-teen star in the '90s and reached its second heyday with the drama "Penthouse" series in 2021. He performed a disjointed performance as the evil girl "Cheon Seo-jin" in the play and won the SBS Acting Awards in 2021 without any unexpected incident.

As an actor, he received the highest honor of winning the grand prize trophy, but he must have been worried about the weight of the crown. This is because viewers' expectations have risen, and if you leave a strong impact with one character, it will be more difficult to erase the color and wear the next character.

However, Soyeon Kim worked on his next film without a long hiatus. Last year, he introduced "The Nine Tails-1938" and decided to appear in "Quiet Sales" this year. In the fantasy drama "The Nine Tails," he played Ryu Hong-ju, the western mountain god and the president of Myo Yeongak, showing a bold and colorful character performance.

On the other hand, in "Quiet Sales," he took on a new role that completely erased the previous intensity. His character Han Jung-sook is beautiful enough to have been selected as a Geumje Pepper Lady in the past, but she has to play the most role by meeting her husband who has no ability to live. It's been a long time since I came back as a soft and pure character.

However, it is clearly different from the characters shown before. Not only is he not a young, vitriolic character shown in recent years, but he is also a character who has a soft sensibility and innocence, so he has to create comedy with unexpected reactions when a situation occurs. The result was a success.

◆ Character synchro rate is high...an understated comic performanceAs the drama

has turned around, it seems that his wish to be called 'Mr. Jeong-suk' at the end of the drama has already been fulfilled. This is because viewers' opinion that "Candy-type characters" with comics fit well without any sense of incompatibility is dominant. The ∀ in

[Quiet Sales] freely moves between seriousness and comedy. Han Jung-sook, who endured the fact that her husband Kwon Sung-soo (Choi Jae-rim) was often caught up in a fight and quit the company at will, burst into tears when she saw him committing an affair with his friend.

The key was how to express the motherhood of Han Jung-sook, who struggled to find a way to pay for her son Min-ho (Choi Ja-woon) even in a difficult situation. The Soyeon Kim stimulated viewers' tear glands with a simple performance that was neither excessive nor insufficient.

He made good use of the comic in the right place. Since Han Jung-sook began to sell on-site visits in earnest, the comic has become thicker, and the Soyeon Kim has drawn laughter by reciting the adult product manual written in English with a bright expression and explaining the product to customers in a calm manner.

◆ It's a gorgeous mise-en-scène and a warm-hearted chemistry.elements that add emotion and fun.Kim ∀, who is considered one of the angel signs in the

broadcasting industry, is surprisingly similar to Han Jung-sook in "Quiet Sales." Han Jung-sook, who has a good heart, is kind to everyone, and has a high synchro rate.

Is it because of the main body and high synchro ratio? Han Jung-sook, implemented through Soyeon Kim, has gained high support from viewers at the same time as it was released, driving the popularity of the work. As much as the turning point is paid, it raises questions about whether Jeong-suk will be able to achieve her goal and achieve a happy ending.

Mise-en-scène, colorful retro styling, supporting "Jeong Han-sook," sharing secrets, and getting closer to BPS Sisters (Kim Sung-ryeong, Kim Sun-young, Lee Se-hee) (a new word combining women and romance), which vividly recreates the 90s, are also a force that guarantees the fun of "quiet sales."

Han Jung-sook is waking up by announcing her divorce from her husband and is turning into a more active character than before as she enters door-to-door sales. All that remains is to watch the second half of the work to see if the Soyeon Kim will successfully complete the new challenge until the end.
