Released on February 7, the film "Newtopia" is expected to end with the 8th and also the final episode on March 21.
The story revolves around soldier Jae Yoon (Park Jung Min) and his girlfriend - an office worker Young Joo (Jisoo) as they try to reunite in Seoul (Korea) - a place devastated by Japanese (childhood friendship).
Unlike the usual Japanese film series that focus more on horror elements, Newtopia brings a lighter tone when combining humorous elements with the romance of a young person.
While clumsy Western scenes of attacks or falls reduce the tension of this genre, the main plot of the couple in their twenties on the brink of breaking up creates empathy for viewers.
Along with that, the film "Newtopia" made an impression when the installation of many details reminded me of a series of events in Korea such as the plane crash, etc.
ignoring criticism of Jisoo's acting, shy expressions or difficult-to-listen addresses, Park Jung Min is considered a compensation for this weakness, helping the audience gradually have positive feedback about the film.
The actor's role as Jae Yoon not only promotes love stories but also brings intensity and authenticity to survival scenes. Nate (Korea) highly appreciated Park Jung Min's acting, especially in a scene in episode 7, when Jae Yoon faced a new challenge, threatening his life after lucky to survive.
Meanwhile, cultural critic Kim Sung Soo commented: Newtopia brings a new feeling when combining Jae Yoons perspective and the humor of Young Joos story. Park Jung Min's excellent acting makes the film more thrilling and engaging.
Park Jung Min was born in 1987, starting her acting career from short films and independent films. His outstanding works include Dongju: Portrait of a Poet, 6th Finger, therness of the pulp, Flesh: Letter to the President, Judgement from Hell, The 8 Show...
