**Did I watch a theatre play or a TV drama?**
What a masterpiece. «Jeongnyeon: The Star Is Born» («정년이») gave us an unforgettable finale, and Kim Taeri (김태리), Shin Yeeun (신예은), and Woo Davi (우다비) absolutely delivered. These three? My absolute favourites.
Here's why it stood out:
1. The editing? Flawless.
2. They filmed the theatre scenes as if it was a real performance. It didn’t just feel authentic—it _was_ authentic.
3. Every scene mattered. No fluff, no fillers. Just storytelling that hits hard.
4. They focused on what’s real: the relationships, the struggles, the rawness of being an actor, singer, or dancer. It wasn’t just about glitz and glamour. It was blood, sweat, and tears.
Now, about that finale. If you’re going to watch it, do it right. Big screen. Full volume. No distractions. It felt so much like a real theatre experience I caught myself clapping with the fictional audience, tearing up, and giving them a standing ovation.
Honestly, I don’t know if I just watched «Jeongnyeon» or an actual stage play. That’s how good it was.
100 over 10 stars to the cast, crew, writer, and everyone who brought this story to life. And a huge salute to every artist out there who pours their soul into their craft. You are seen. You are celebrated.

(NOTE: This is about Kim Taeri. The below is not about the entire cast, who themselves are doing great in their respective theatre scenes. There are also a few who started in theatre acting or have theatre skills learned later. One of which was Taeri's real-life friend who, from what I've read, also started in theatre.)
Kim Taeri (김태리) as lead in ”Jeongnyeon" ("정년이") was no doubt intentional, we can go as far as to say this was written with her in mind. Theatre is her turf after all.
Theatre actors are actually the best screen actors too. It's why those who started on-screen are advised to go into theatre acting so they can hone their skills and learn the secrets in acting.
In the West, Sir Patrick Stewart—known for the roles Captain Jean-Luc Picard and Professor Charles Xavier—started as a theatre actor. His American counterparts in Star Trek: The Next Generation often shared how he changed the show and how they learned acting from him (they're already established actors).
It's why Kim Taeri is so good herself.
Even though her theatre scenes in this show were scripted, you can actually see her threatre acting in full display. I wouldn't be surprise if all they did was roll the camera continuously, and let everything happen naturally. 🙃🙂 The editing director probably had an easy time as well for the Kim Taeri theatre scenes.
Whenever it's Kim Taeri's theatre scenes, it is as if we're watching a fan camera of a real live theatre play. You can see the difference in her acting, theatre vs on-screen. Kim Taeri is being full-on theatre actor mode when she's in a theatre scene. On-sceen mode when in everything else. Truly a legend. No, a goddess.

Once again, the 33-year-old superstar #KimTaeRi (#김태리) displayed her acting versatility in #Alienoid2 (#외계인2부). No matter what genre, role, or gap between her projects, her acting is diamond level!
10 stars!

Alienoid 1
(2022 - Viki, 2:22 movie rental)
One of the best sci-fi films! Aliens have been using Earth, more precisely, human bodies, as prisons. Unfortunately, some alien criminals have escaped & the guards must hunt them down before they can harm humans.
Time travel, robots, aliens, mages, shamans, shape-shifters, a bounty hunter & a woman with a gun - the kitchen sink of sci-fi & it knows it, so it doesn't take itself too seriously. There are many nods to western sci-fi classics. There's too much action, too many over-the-top scenes, generally too much of everything. It is a thrilling, fine-tuned balance of comedy & action.
Great effects, stellar acting by all, magic, sword fights in silk robes, amazingly choreographed fight scenes & the mystery of the Joseon woman with the gun make this a fabulous watch. Can't wait for Alienoid 2!
