JTBC’s “Itaewon Klath” was scheduled to hit the front page, as the original Web toon was a mega hit with over 200 million cumulative views. Park Seo-joon Kim Da-mi and other stars have been in the spotlight for the first time in four episodes, but there is a unique aspect of this success. The remake of the popular Web tone, which has fallen into the pick with a bad making, was a catch-up. So what charm of the Drama is attracting many viewers?
The Drama that follows the original stem depicts the stories of young people who have been arrested in Itaewon, which is considered to be the most trendy space in Seoul. The main character is Park Seo-joon, a pronoun of stiffness. He has been a criminal criminal who tried to kill a chaebol because he kept his conviction. He realizes his plan to kneel down the chaebol without breaking down while he is going to the fishing boat. Itaewon Klath is a Drama that aimed at the frustrating and unfair heart of viewers who are tired of the authoritative social system that eventually closed their beliefs. Here, the genius Soshio Pass Seo-yool Lee (Kim Da-mi), who is tired of boring life, and SuA (Kwon Nara), an individualist with a sick past, add vividness to the various groups of wandering youth.
But it was not a work that only leaned on the original power. The success of big Actors such as Son Hyun-joo Yoo Jae-myeong was a great force for the early immersion, but the adaptation of the original was a major fActor in popularity. "I was saddened by the deadline when I wrote Web toon," said Gwangjin, who wrote the play after the original work. "I was careful to supplement Kahaani and save the consuming character in three dimensions."
The Drama that moves the cartoon frame is awkward, especially if it is the Itaewon Klath, which has a lot of Dramatic characters like a new one. The Drama has been reconstructed with realistic stories by adding a wide range of narratives of characters such as ambassadors and SuA that were not in comics. "Many Web toon-based plays such as Untouch Romance have struggled because they have not melted the exaggerated tone of comics," said Gong Hee-jung, a critic of Drama. "Itaewon Klath's rich adaptation suggests a lot to Web toon Drama."
Unlike other works adapted by a separate writer, the original author wrote it. “The proposal was made because there would be no one who had the character and the original author who conceived Kahaani to continue the fun of comics,” said a showbox official, a movie distributor who first started producing Drama with Itaewon Klath. There is also a prominent production of a neatly refined cartoon tone, and sensory sequences such as traffic accident scenes of the swirling sex heat (Son Hyun-joo) sometimes melt.
The story is not only supported by the bottom but also by the Actors. Park Seo-joon, who has been known for his original work and high synchro rate since the planning stage, leads the story steadily. Kim Da-mi, who made his Drama debut, is also impressive; he brought back the key character of the play, Seo-yool Lee, as a more intense character. Web toon Drama’s weakness is that the plot and ending are open for some time, and as the original work did, it seems that we should keep our eyes on the big catharsis screens. “There are statistics on where fans were enthusiastic and whether they liked it in a comic book series,” Gwangjin wrote.
