 Jeongnyeon The Star is Born Episodes 7 and eight Highlights

“So that you aren’t even conscious that you simply ruined the present.”

It’s time for Jeong-nyeon to face the music for her actions. Director Kang bans her from standing on stage, getting Jeong-nyeon baffled. What on earth did she achieve this mistaken to warrant that punishment? Aren’t actors alleged to do their greatest? Didn’t Director Kang hear the viewers cheer for Jeong-nyeon’s performing?

Sarcastically, the viewers’s cheer is precisely why Director Kang is doing this. As a result of Jeong-nyeon did too effectively, the viewers solely centered on her position and never the present. Working into some fan ladies, Jeong-nyeon realizes her mistake when the women touch upon how they misplaced deal with the opposite elements after Jeong-nyeon got here on stage and their want for Jeong-nyeon’s character to get extra scenes. Not less than, Jeong-nyeon now is aware of what she did mistaken. So, she will consider the punishment as an opportunity to research the opposite characters and hone her performing abilities.

In the meantime, Yeong-seo will get one other jealousy seizure, no because of her mom evaluating her to Jeong-nyeon and urging Yeong-seo to beat her. Dispirited, Yeong-seo asks Jeong-nyeon to show her to sing like her, arguing that Jeong-nyeon inherited her mom’s expertise and may attraction individuals along with her voice with out having to coach exhausting like others.

In response, Jeong-nyeon says the factor she is most afraid of resides in her mom’s shadow and folks evaluating her to her mom. Thus, she resolved to stay as herself and never tie her id to being her mom’s daughter. Yeong-seo also needs to do the identical as effectively. Every little thing Yeong-seo has achieved to this point is a results of her personal effort. It’s hers alone.

“If I go away this time, I swear to by no means come again.”

Issues occur and Joo-ran will get injured whereas making an attempt to avoid wasting Yeong-seo and herself from having the lights fall on them. With nobody else to fill in for Joo-ran, Jeong-nyeon steps in, vowing to depart for good if she screws up once more. Following Okay-gyeong’s recommendation, Jeong-nyeon blends her tackle the position with the present interpretation whereas protecting the larger image in thoughts. Thus, charming everybody along with her efficiency and likewise saving the day after Yeong-seo makes a mistake. Higher but, Jeong-nyeon turns into an official trainee, not an understudy.

Unsurprisingly, the newest incident was pulled by Hye-rang and the finance supervisor who appear to be in cahoots. Not solely did they trigger the lights to fall, however in addition they stole the ledgers and the cash within the protected, counting on the truth that Director Kang wouldn’t report the theft to the police since she cares probably the most in regards to the troupe’s picture. (Facet be aware: Director Kang isn’t conscious of Hye-rang’s involvement and believes the monetary supervisor did it on his personal.)

Hye-rang might declare she did it for Okay-gyeong since she makes use of the cash to cease dangerous articles about Okay-gyeong from getting revealed. However it’s simply her being obsessive. I assume Okay-gyeong is as sick and bored with Hye-rang as we’re since she confronts Hye-rang about making an attempt to drive the opposite actresses away. Hye-rang tries to play I-am-only-protecting-our-positions-from-being-snatched card. But Okay-gyeong isn’t having it. They’re stagnant due to the dearth of competitors, and with out new younger actresses, the troupe will rot away.

“Yeong-seo is steady. I can depend on her, however not on you.”

Following a profitable tour, Director Kang declares that each one the troupes plan to do a joint efficiency. Auditions for that efficiency can be held in a month and those who get chosen to play the youthful variations of the leads will solidify their positions as Okay-gyeong and Hye-rang’s successors. However there’s a new situation: the audition can be held in pairs. As in, one ought to have a companion to participate within the audition.

As a lot as I wished to see Jeong-nyeon and Yeong-seo companion up, it gained’t be potential since each of them are higher suited to play the male lead’s youthful model, ak.a Okay-gyeong’s successor. Jeong-nyeon thought Joo-ran would undoubtedly companion up along with her. However to her shock, Joo-ran chooses Yeong-seo, claiming she is fearful Jeong-nyeon may get too immersed in her character and spoil the efficiency, not like how Yeong-seo performs with the entire narrative in thoughts. Thus, getting Jeong-nyeon heartbroken and questioning her price.

Additional elevating the stakes, the press paints the audition as a battle between Yeong-seo and Jeong-nyeon, who’re each daughters of music geniuses, getting individuals interested by which one will come out triumphant. Jeong-nyeon’s main power has at all times been her deal with doing her greatest with out evaluating herself to others. Nevertheless it looks like the strain of competing towards Yeong-seo, coupled with Joo-ran’s phrases, is getting the very best of Jeong-nyeon since she will’t appear to deal with practising and retains occupied with Yeong-seo and Joo-ran.

Seeing by means of Jeong-nyeon’s despair, Hye-rang settles to make use of it to her benefit, manipulating Jeong-nyeon into practising in a cave every single day till she coughs blood, claiming she’s going to grasp singing this fashion. However truly, Hye-rang desires Jeong-nyeon to pressure her vocal strings and lose her singing expertise.

“Have you ever critically gone insane?”

Sadly, our fears come true when Jeong-nyeon’s voice turns hoarse since she retains pushing herself too exhausting even when she must relaxation. Recognizing Jeong-nyeon’s situation, Director Kang will get reminded of the previous days when Jeong-nyeon’s mom acquired cussed and saved pushing herself too exhausting till she coughed blood and will now not sing.

Apprehensive Jeong-nyeon may face the identical destiny, Director Kang urges her to cease straining her voice. What’s necessary isn’t occupied with how you can beat Yeong-seo however discovering her interpretation. That’s how Jeong-nyeon has at all times charmed everybody. Nevertheless it appears like Jeong-nyeon inherited each her mom’s expertise and stubbornness since she doesn’t hearken to Director Kang and goes to the cave to coach.

Listening to about what Jeong-nyeon has been as much as, Yeong-seo rushes over to the cave to deliver her again. Good factor she did as a result of Jeong-nyeon was burning up with a fever. Nonetheless, Jeong-nyeon resolutely refuses to go along with Yeong-seo, arguing she is gifted at dancing, singing, and performing whereas Jeong-nyeon solely has her voice, and spouting nonsense about how issues will end up effectively for Yeong-seo if Jeong-nyeon strains her voice and fails to sing since Yeong-seo could have one much less rival. Critically! That’s ridiculous, to say the least.

Sadly, Jeong-nyeon faces the identical destiny as her mom and coughs blood. Regardless of being in dire straits, Jeong-nyeon takes half within the audition. Stopping within the center, Jeong-nyeon virtually loses the possibility to point out the judges her expertise correctly. However because of Director Kang, who is aware of this audition may be Jeong-nyeon’s final likelihood to sing, they comply with give Jeong-nyeon one other likelihood.

Singing with all her may, Jeong-nyeon delivers a top-notch efficiency, getting everybody impressed. Director Kang, Okay-gyeong, Joo-ran, and Yeong-seo can’t cease their tears whereas listening to Jeong-nyeon since they know this may be the final time Jeong-nyeon can sing. Even Yeong-seo’s mom, who was there as a decide, can barely deny her admiration. Simply as she finishes singing, Jeong-nyeon passes out on stage surrounded by blood. What a heart-wrenching cliffhanger!


Jeongnyeon The Star is Born Episodes 7 and eight Musings

Out of every thing we acquired so removed from the drama, Episode 8 stands out as a masterpiece in itself. Kim Tae-ri, but once more, establishes herself as a rare actress, surpassing her previous self and setting the bar too excessive. Ra Mi-ran, Shin Ye-eun, and Jung Eun-chae have been fascinating as effectively. Really, this isn’t only a drama however a grasp class in performing.

That being stated, I admire how the drama highlights themes just like the significance of wholesome competitors and counting on one another to get higher by means of its characters. We are able to see that in how Okay-gyeong appears ahead to getting a brand new rival, genuinely rooting for the younger trainees and feeling joyful about their achievements, not like Hye-rang, who’s out to get anybody who may problem her place. The one perk of that predicament is Okay-gyeong realizing Hye-rang’s true colours and deeming her a hopeless case.

To this point, Yeong-seo suffered from an inferiority advanced and couldn’t assist however examine herself to others, be it her sister or Jeong-nyeon. However this week, it appears like she switched roles with Jeong-nyeon. Fairly than specializing in discovering her personal interpretation like she often does, Jeong-nyeon saved evaluating herself to Yeong-seo. Which led her to fall into Hye-rang’s entice. Even when Director Kang and Yeong-seo tried relentlessly to cease her, Jeong-nyeon saved going till she was compelled to cease totally.

Whereas practising with Joo-ran, Yeong-seo realized an necessary lesson. Appearing isn’t one thing one learns by themselves, however one thing one hones with a companion. We are able to undoubtedly see Yeong-seo’s development this week. From apologizing to Jeong-nyeon for breaking the document of her mom’s tune and shopping for her one other one, to approaching Joo-ran first, to declaring that she desires to beat Jeong-nyeon by means of her abilities not some low cost tips, to feeling genuinely unhappy for what occurred to Jeong-nyeon. Our woman has come too removed from the primary time we met her.

This week was robust to observe however it would solely worsen subsequent week after Jeong-nyeon realizes she will now not sing. Nonetheless, I place confidence in our heroine to get by means of this and show but once more how persistent and strong-willed she is. However most significantly, she ought to be taught to hearken to others too and cease being too cussed. I can perceive Jeong-nyeon’s desperation, having left her residence and been disowned by her mom in order that she might pursue singing. However, as Director Kang says, one also needs to have a look at the larger image and cease earlier than it’s too late.
