Wow. They showed the ultimate beauty of #KimYooJung #김유정 in E12 of #MyDemon #마이데몬 (2023). Especially during her dance routines.

The quality of the hanbok they made her wear were also of high quality and design.

She's so different here than her role in #LoversOfTheRedSky #홍천기 (2021).

Or, did she grow to be even more attractive? She's only 24, looks like we now know who we will see more this year and in the next 10 years.

(She became a child actress when she was 4 years old.)

Lovers of the Red Sky
(2021 - Viki, 16 1:10 eps)

An historical fantasy series about a divine painter, who has to save the world. It was interesting to learn about painting techniques. The special FX added to mystical feeling, bringing the supernatural gods & goblins to life. The cinematography was beautiful. The acting was good, except that the FL character was too flat for me - she spent much time crying. The romance was sweet - the leads did win a “Best Couple” award.

It's filled with kDrama tropes & the story seems too convenient - a blind astrologer who can ride a horse & fight? The 1st few episodes are great, by eps 13 things are dragging. The last eps wraps most things up, but leaves somethings unresolved.

Clean with Passion for Now
(2018 - Netflix, 16 1:10 eps)

A romcom about a man with mysophobia (extreme fear of germs/dirt) & OCD (from childhood trauma) & his meeting a very untidy woman. Mental or physical health topics always leave me wondering if the show is accurate? Luckily, I found a review by someone with the same condition & that person thought it was pretty realistic.

I really enjoyed the lead actors & they had good character growth, but the story itself felt forced after a sweet start. Conflict was manufactured - holding a family member responsible for previous generations' actions is too harsh. The FL character was just so naive. The side stories could have been good, but I didn't get enough time w/ the side characters for any feelings to develop. I felt the 1st half was worth watching, not so much the 2nd half.

Just finished “Clean with a Passion for Now” with Kim Yoo Jung.

It is no wonder that she’s been in the business for nearly 20 years. Her acting is superb.

There was a 12 yr age gap in Goblin & Kim Go Eun played a high schooler so convincingly that it was a little weird.

In “Clean” there was also a 12 yr age gap, but Kim Yoo Jung played someone much older easily and to me the ML, Yoon Kyun Sang, looked much younger than he is, so it worked.

I had already seen Kim Yoo Jung in “20th Century Girl”. But I enjoyed her performance in “Clean" so much, that I went looking for her other works and found “Lovers of the Red Sky” with Ahn Hyo Seop - who was actually supposed to star in “Clean” but schedules didn’t work. Now I get to see them together here.

She was also in @Hanktank’s favorite “Dong Yi”. It's already on my list, but will move up now that I know she’s in it.
