TVN's weekend drama Jirisan has made a big headline with the casting of Kim Eun-hee writer and actor Jun Ji-hyun, who has been ranked as a popular screenwriter for the production cost of 15 billion won and Netflix 'Kingdom'. It was also ranked as the biggest anticipated film in the second half.
But half of the shares are now down, with the ratings down moderately, similar to the ratings that start at 10% and gradually drop to 7%. In the early days, awkward CG, excessive PPL, and the acting of actors who are not impressed came to the board.
Of course, many of the factors mentioned above have played a major role in the devaluation of 'Jirisan', but the cause can be found in a more fundamental place. There is a more essential problem with Jirisan: the crack in the World Pavilion by Kim Eun-hee.
Kim Eun-hee has been opposed to the romantic comedy-filled trend with his unique cool World view in his terrestrial debut 'Sign' and the following works 'Ghost' and 'Three Days'. The material was various, including forensic scientists, hackers, and the top of political power, but World, which Kim Eun-hee tried to draw, was a story of power that was unfolded through thorough examination and verification. Those who had power and those who wanted to take it, who fell into the fall, were carved beyond various events and accidents.
From 2016 Signal', fantasy began to come into Kim Eun-hee's World. In Signal', there was a radio with the past, and in 'Kingdom' there was Zombie 2: The Dead are Among Us called life and death. This ‘Jirisan’ is similar. The basic framework is the tracking of the gang hyun (Ju Ji-hoon) floating around Jirisan as a birth order and the Sui River (Ju Ji-hoon) chasing the shadow of Murder against the background of Jirisan.
It was the reappearance of the creepy reality that Kim Eun-hee's work was also popular in fantasy setting. In Signal', there was a periodical structural contradiction that could not solve the case before the past radio, and 'Kingdom' also had the desire of the more fearful power than Zombie 2: The Dead are Among Us.
But in Jirisan, there is no balance or collision of these forces. The existence of the person who commits Murder is not revealed, but those who surround it are good residents who are holding the site in Jirisan. Rangers, National Park Service employees, and those who cause problems are also weak people who have a good reason.
The picture does not fit well because I try to add mystery with Jirisan's brilliant aura in a background without contradiction. This was done in the 6th broadcast on the 7th, and it seemed to distance all of them from the storyline of the first love of the Seoi River, and suddenly at the end, gang hyun suddenly brought in the prediction phenomenon that looked ahead and forced tension. The omnibus-style development, which is like one story and the arrangement of the time when 2018 and 2020 come into intersection, also makes it difficult for viewers to access.
In the end, Jirisan is giving viewers an image of hikers who can not easily get into the race. The soil, rocks, and land that climb the ridge should all be solid reality. Kim Eun-hee's World, 'Jirisan', which has a fantasy and reality, was shaking slightly from its roots.
