It is fun, but I keep feeling it. It is about TVN's new tree drama Knowing Wife (director Lee Sang-yeop, playwright Yang Hee-seung) that opened the lid on the 1st. South Korea formed a consensus with the realistic life of married men and women and gave laughter with cartoon-like productions. However, it is regrettable that there is no significant difference from KBS Confession Couple' (2017), which has been pointed out the similarity of the material. From the second inning, you should float the seedlings of 'knowing wife'.
Story 'Knowing Wife' depicts a man who lives in a present that has changed into a single Choices. The first episode was developed at the point of time of Cha Joo-hyuk (Ji Sung), a 30-year-old banker who lives in a workplace and a family. He was troubled by the growing violence of his wife, Woojin (Han Ji-min), who had suffered from anger control disorder after marriage, saying, "I can not even say that I am afraid to divorce." Then one day, I accidentally reunited with my junior Lee Hye-won (Kang Han-Na), who I had a crush on in college, and remembered the past. On the day he decided to date Hye-won, Joo-hyuk was late to his appointment while helping Woojin, a high school student who was sexually harassed on a bus, which led to his relationship with Woojin, which moved away from Hye-won. The next day, a strange thing happened to Ju-hyuk, who was preaching a cult on the subway and handed him a 500-won coin he bought in 2006. Ju-hyeok was to use the 500 won in question at the suspicious tollgate that evening, and then the car suddenly broke out and Ju-hyeok lost his mind. In 2006, he was lying in a college room when he opened his eyes.
• First room Up & DownUP: I have realized the grievances of married men and women living in “Crazy South Korea.” In particular, when Joo Hyuk's close friend and ambassador to twin father Yoon Jong-hoo (Jang Seung-jo) pointed out the reality, he said, "All South Korean men live like that. "The poorest thing since Dangun is said to be the South Korea head in his 30s these days," he said. "There are too many things women do. I have to take the children's cultural center, I have to line up from dawn to put it in kindergarten, I have to go to the ladies' meeting to get information, and I have to make money as much as I can. Your wife will be working all day at the skin shop, and you will be able to do both care alone. I left my gender and conveyed the situation of married people and formed a consensus with viewers of similar situations.
By the time the very realistic story felt somewhat frustrating, comic-like productions added fun, giving a slow motion effect to the scene of the couple's fight between Joo Hyuk and Woojin. The drama was lively as the actors' performances gave each character a lively feeling. Ji Sung cutely digested her husband's life. Woojin, who is angry without trying, was expressed not to be overstated by meeting Han Ji-min. Above all, another face of Han Ji-min, who has been loved by a pure and lovely image, was impressed. Jang Seung-jo, who showed a heavy performance in his previous MBC 'Don Flower', transformed into a comic character and showed Ji Sung and romance. The image of Kang Han-Na was the first love in memories itself. In the meantime, Cha Hak-yeon (Bix N), who plays the role of Kim Hwan, the adverb of Ju-hyuk, predicted the new Stiller with his sly and thin acting.
DOWN: The first episode focused on showing the process of the protagonist going back to the past and changing his Choices. I felt that I was similar to the Confession Couple, and I was similar to the way I remembered the past and the past of a married couple. In response, Yang Hee-seung said at the previous production presentation, "The contents may be similar in the beginning, but the process of the contents is different. "Knowing wife" deals mainly with the current story, not the past." The Confession Couple is that the main character couple stays in the past and realizes the importance of the present, while the 'knowing wife' focuses on the present life that changes into the past Choices. It is worth noting whether this difference can be revealed from the second inning.
Viewers' eyes "The first broadcast was similar to" Confession Couple "," "Is it a sequel to" Confession Couple "," and" It is a time warp ". However, as the story has just begun, the reaction is dominant to watch until the second episode. The most satisfying point for viewers to know is the acting of actors. "Ji Sung is also believed in," "Han Ji-min's acting was real," "Ji Sung and Han Ji-min's acting breathing is good," "Jang Seung-jo is cute for characters and actors," "Kang Han-Na is a good character for first love characters," and so on.
Possibility of box office success
According to Nielsen Korea on the 2nd, the first time that I know Wife recorded 4.7% of the nationwide ratings of paid platforms. Compared to the previous film Why Secretary Kim's Will Do That ended with an audience rating of 8.6% in the final episode, it is encouraging because it is almost halved or ahead of MBC's Time (4.0%) and KBS2's Your House Helper (3.2%). Attention is focusing on whether the knowing wife will be able to surpass the current SBS Dear Judge (6.4%) of the terrestrial drama, following the reputation of Why Secretary Kim will do that.
