SNOPSIS:

Lee Young-ae showed off her ferocious performance, crossing over the scenes of a game junkie in the corner of the room and a detective with sharp reasoning. Although she is wacky and eccentric, she has brought to life the charm of her warm-hearted Googyeong, who is trying to protect her own people, and elicited a response that said, ‘I can’t imagine Koo Young-ae other than Lee Young-ae.’

Of course, there are some regrets. It’s just the ratings. Kwang-yi was a topic of discussion to the extent of being ranked number one on Netflix, an OTT service, but showed a low record of 2% in viewership ratings.

Due to the low viewership ratings, the producers are inevitably in a situation where they can’t help but shrink. At this time, it is said that a word from Lee Young-ae stimulated director Lee Jung-heum’s tear glands.

In a recent interview with Cine21, director Lee said, “At first, when the ratings were low, he said that to me. ‘I am someone who has filmed more than 50% of the viewership ratings, so what does that matter? I am a person who is important for my work to be enjoyable, and it is so exciting and fun to work on right now, and I am proud of this work. Director, I’m doing well now, so I hope you can stretch your shoulders and do whatever you want. ‘She almost burst into tears while listening,’ she said, expressing her gratitude to Lee Young-ae. The drama that Lee Young-ae mentioned above 50% in viewer ratings is MBC’s ‘Dae Jang-geum’.
