“Lee Geung-young again?”, Drama fans are complaining about the appearance of Lee Geung-young in “Adamas”
Right after “Doctor Lawyer” ended, Lee Geung-young returned as a villain in “Adamas”. Seeing a familiar face in a new work, the viewers are saying that they feel boring.
tvN’s Wednesday-Thursday drama “Adamas” (written by Choi Tae-gang/ directed by Park Seung-woo) aired its first episode on July 27th. Ji Sung showed off his passionate acting and perfectly pulled off two roles at the same time transforming into twin brothers Ha Woo-shin and Song Soo-hyun, who investigate the death of their stepfather.
The main content of the first episode was Ha Woo-shin entering the Haesongwon mansion. This space is completely disconnected from the outside world and going out or using cell phones is also prohibited. Ha Woo-shin’s intention in entering such a dangerous place was to steal Adamas, a symbol and treasure of Haesong Group. The fight between Ha Woo-shin and Chairman Kwon (Lee Geung-young) of Haesong Group is like a decided fate.
The development of stealing the symbol of a company to solve the secret behind the stepfather’s death is new and fresh but some viewers raised opinions that the actor made them feel boring. Lee Geung-young, who plays Chairman Kwon, was mentioned in such reviews from the viewers.
In fact, in MBC’s Friday-Saturday drama “Doctor Lawyer”, which ended on July 23rd, Lee Geung-young played the role of Gu Jin-gi, Chairman of Banseok Foundation and President of Banseok Hospital. He had a life-threatening battle with So Ji-sub (as Han Yi-han) and Shin Sung-rok (as Jayden Lee).
In SBS’ Friday-Saturday drama “Why Her”, which aired during the same period as “Doctor Lawyer”, he played Han Seong-beom, Chairman of Hansoo Group with evil-minded ambitions. Earlier, in SBS’ Friday-Saturday drama “Again My Life”, which ended in May, he took on the role of Cho Tae-sub, a corrupt politician who runs his own crime cartel as well as the fateful opponent of Lee Joon-gi (as Kim Hee-woo). As such, he appeared in 4 different works this year.
To this extent, there is even a word “Geung-young again” among netizens in the sense that “Lee Geung-young took on the role of the villainous chaebol president again”. His appearance, which has become a meme, is bound to hinder viewers’ immersion level. The work will lose its individuality due to his presence alone and become no different from other works. This is clearly a separate matter from the actor’s acting ability and character digestive power.
In “Adamas”, Lee Geung-young also played an influential person in the political and financial world to the extent that he rules the country. He wields such a terrifying influence that he uses a strong presidential candidate as a pawn on the chessboard to resume the death penalty system. Attention is focused on how Lee Geung-young’s cliché character will affect the drama “Adamas”, which has just begun.
