The TV series "Zom-com" (Comedy about the body) "Newtopia" of the Coupang Play platform, starred by Jisoo (BlackPink) and Park Jung Min, broadcast the first two episodes on July 7.
According to Korean media, "Newtopia" set a record for the highest number of viewers on the first day of the broadcast of all films on Coupang Play.
In addition, according to "Consumer detailed information report" on the ranking of people's streaming platform content in the first week of February, "Newtopia" currently gains No. 1 position in 2 categories "Identification" and "attract viewers" - prove the ability to create the echo of the female idol and actress Jisoo when returning to the screen with the second lead role after "Snowdrop" (2021).
Meanwhile, the discussion about Jisoo's acting ability continues to be a "hot" topic.
"Newtopia" is expected to be a unique Korean zombie movie, telling the love story of the late soldier Lee Jae Yoon (Park Jung Min) and his girlfriend Kang Young Joo (Jisoo). They ran towards each other through the center of Seoul, where zombies (zombies) attacked.
The film production team tries to make a difference by combining the genre of life with romantic comedy.
According to Star News, compared to the previous work, Jisoo's acting has made progress, the image of "girl crush" of Young Joo is also very synchronized with the image of Jisoo's real life. The ability to play a female lead must bring stability to the viewer.
In addition, Star News said that Jisoo's acting debate is not the only problem.
"Surprisingly, the barrier that makes it difficult for" Newtopia "to reach the audience is the loose development style of the first episode. The duration of an episode determining the future of the film was wasted into Jae Yoon's military life, breaking the old humorous rule.
The story of Young Joo suffered Jae Yoon and a party of unpleasant characters that wasted only time without bringing much effect, ”Star News wrote.
The reaction of the audience is divided. A part of the viewer agreed that Jisoo has improved and played quite well. However, many people think that the ability to pronounce and radio is the weakness of Jisoo.
The audience commented on the online community: “If you can ignore her pronunciation, it's not bad. I wonder if she will ever improve her tone. ”
“Her voice is definitely a decisive factor. The hoarseness may be a matter of personal hobbies, but when combined with her uncomfortable tone transmission, it becomes a problem. ”
"I think the voice and the awkwardness in everything she refreshed really disadvantaged her."
“I watched the first two episodes, her character was chaotic and humorous. I think Jisoo has done well when it is suitable for the role. Only her voice is what everyone loves or hates. ”
"I like Jisoo, but I think she should only participate in the shows. I feel she lacks the natural talent needed for any type of artistic expression in general."
