Um Jung-hwa played the role of an ordinary middle-aged woman who woke up with 25 years of memory loss in the 3rd and 4th episodes of the original Genie TV drama 'My Star Like Gold' that aired on the 25th and 26th.
On this day's broadcast, Bong Cheong-ja accepted her position, which was reversed with Ko Hee-young (EL), and embarked on a comeback challenge in the entertainment industry to regain her lost dream and place. Bong Cheong-ja, who was reunited with his family Min Tae-sook (Cha Cheong-hwa), who had a brilliant time, returned to the broadcast site playing a single role as a housekeeper, but was beaten several times due to the senior actor's territoriality and subtle bullying, causing pity.
Despite the salty situation, the romance chemistry with Dokgo-cheol (Song Seung-heon), who appears like a savior in every crisis of a volunteer, is inducing sweet excitement among viewers. Bong Cheong-ja, who gradually began to rely on Dokgo-cheol, doubled the interest of the play by revealing Im Sera's unique coy and arrogant attitude and lovely charm when he was with Dokgo-cheol.
Uhm Jung-hwa delicately expresses the various emotional lines of the Bongcheong-ja in unpredictable situations, bringing the character to life. In the scene where he was reunited with his father, who did not recognize him at all, he stimulated his sorrow by pouring out tears without holding back his emotions, and in the process of struggling on the spot to return, he melted his pride and tried to hold out until the end into natural acting, leading viewers to immerse themselves.
In particular, Uhm Jung-hwa's detailed sweet and salty performance, which goes between comic and pity, captures authenticity even with changes in eyes and facial expressions, and adds persuasive power to the character by delivering a sense of joy and friendly reality at the same time. As the episode continues, expectations are rising for what kind of narrative Uhm Jung-hwa, who maximizes the appeal of the audience by putting on an unlimited character show.
Meanwhile, 'My Golden Star' airs every Monday and Tuesday at 10 p.m. on the channel ENA. Immediately after the actual broadcast, KT Genie TV will exclusively release it as a free VOD, and OTT will be released through TVing.
