Eunjung and Sangyeon. When was I Eunjung and when was Sangyeon



I'm looking forward to the sympathy of those who were Eunjung and Sangyeon at some point. Eunjung and Sangyeon came off the veil on the 12th.

The original Netflix series 'Eunjung and Sangyeon' (played by Song Hye-jin and directed by Cho Young-min) tells the story of two friends who like and admire each other the most at every moment, and who are jealous and hateful and face all the time of Eunjung and Sangyeon. On the 12th, 15 episodes were released at the same time and presented to viewers. Prior to this, up to six episodes were revealed to the reporters, and inside, their last reunion, teenagers, and their 20s were depicted, raising interest in the narrative.

The story begins with successful producer Cheon Sang-yeon (Park Ji-hyun) asking Ryu Eun-jung (Kim Go-eun), who became a writer, to accompany him on his assisted death. After the sudden request of Sang-yeon, who is living a time-limited life, the story begins at a time when he looks back on his past relationship with him, and gradually makes them look back on their teens, 20s, and 30s.




They were two people who had been fighting terribly and getting close since the beginning of their teenage years. Everything was different from the home environment, but the times were unfolded until they were in their 20s when they were able to call each other their best friends. Although she is the daughter of the so-called 「Gold spoon」 family, the mixed feelings of Sang-yeon, who feels unloved by her brother, and Eun-jung, who lives in a semi-basement room but is loved by many people, fill the teens. When each other looks at each other and becomes jealous of what they don't have, their initial relationship is completed. The story of two people who spend their teens and 20s with a sense of inferiority toward each other will be covered up to the sixth episode.

The two people's 20s, who reunited after the unfortunate incident of the death of Sang-yeon's brother Cheon Sang-hak (Kim Jae-won), are also complete with a sense of inferiority and jealousy toward each other. It is true that it is welcome to reunite with a close friend, but the story of two people with deficiencies fills the screen. In the meantime, Eunjung's boyfriend Kim Sang-hak (Kim Gun-woo) appears, and the relationship between Eunjung and Sangyeon, who were close like best friends, is revealed and the existence of an old crush is revealed. At first glance, it may seem to contain the story of two women who are twisted because of 'A classic man', but director Cho Young-min makes them explode by gently touching the deep sense of inferiority between them. Here, the threshold for the two's deficiency and emotional line is not high. If you felt jealous when you saw a friend who seemed to be good at everything, or if you felt like you were getting smaller while seeing a friend loved by everyone, you could nod. Most viewers can understand the lack of it, subtle jealousy of the other person, and longing, so they become immersed in it by thinking, 'When was I silver and when was the performance?'

Kim Go-eun and Park Ji-hyun's performances bring out a complete immersion in the play. Thanks to the two who started as children and showed perfect acting in their 20s, they surely satisfy the expectations for the narrative of those in their 30s and 40s. The appearance of the two people who met again in their 40s, which appeared in the beginning of the play, adds to the curiosity about how they will portray them accompanying them on the difficult path of assisted death. At the production presentation, Kim Go-eun talked about their last companion, and she shed tears for a long time and was unable to speak. Attention is also focusing on how their last steps will be completed.




The long episode of 15 episodes may be a bit too much for viewers who have recently become accustomed to 6 episodes or 12 episodes, but it may feel short to capture the stories of those who have spent more than 30 years. Do you like Brahms?Director Cho Young-min, who delicately captured the inner side of humans through 'and 'understanding of love', gave a sense of immersion by delicately capturing Eunjung and Sangyeon again. It is safe to say that they live their lives together for 15 hours.

Eunjung and Sangyeon was released on Netflix on the 12th.
