Recently, the film "When Life Is for You" has received love globally thanks to its simple, realistic story about love, sacrifice and many meaningful messages. The success of the work also arouses viewers' interest in the film's screenwriter - Lim Sang Choon.
In fact, before "When Life Is for You", the female screenwriter affirmed her name in many works, including the films "Youth Struggles" and "When the Tea Flower Blossomes".
It is not difficult to see that the female leads in Lim's works are all strong, individual women with a high sense of independence. With Ae Soon (IU) in "When Life Is for You a Tangerine" is the image of a girl full of freedom and difference in Korean society in the 1960s.
Born into a difficult situation, Ae Soon always nurtures her own dream. Along with that, her love for Gwan Shik (Park Bo Gum) also brings deep thoughts about family, romance and personal dreams to viewers.
With Choi Ae Ra (Kim Ji Won) in the movie "Youth Struggles" - she represents young people who dare to face failure and pursue their dreams.
Before becoming an announcer, Ae Ra accepted to work at a shopping mall to make ends meet. Despite being treated unfairly many times, Ae Ra's strong personality is always ready to face the challenges in life to score points.
In this role, the character Ae Ra is impressively recreated through Kim Ji Won's natural acting and flexible expressions. The image of a young, enthusiastic girl but also weak and hurtful moments appeared on the screen realistically and closely.
Meanwhile, with Oh Dong Baek (Gong Hyo Jin) in the movie "When the Tea Flower blooms", he is a typical image of a strong and independent single mother. Opening a shop in Ongsan town, Dong Baek became a subject of competition from those around him. However, she is always persistent, confident and ready to accept when love comes to her.
Another factor that helps the film "When the tea flowers bloom" attract audiences is the combination of romantic and thrilling, mysterious elements. The fact that the film surpassed the viewership rating by more than 20% not only proves the screenwriter's talent in storytelling but also shows Gong Hyo Jin's attractive acting in the role of a woman who is weak, fragile but also full of resilience.
In particular, the moment Dong Baek faced the pain and judgment from society was transformed by the actress into reality and profound through acting through her eyes and dialogue.
It can be seen that Lim Sang Choon's works always make the audience sympathize with their attractive scripts, sophisticated and humane narration about ordinary people. As the author previously shared, she once wanted to write stories that made people happy - "like pumping air into bicycle tires".
