No one said Jung So-min was bad, in fact she’s a great actress. But the story required Go Youn-jung to return, and she did. The show still ended up being successful regardless.

It was already a done deal that she was coming back. We can debate this until we turn blue, but it’s not going to change that fact. At the end of the day, they’re in the business to make money. It’s not charity work done just to satisfy the diehard fans of Season 1.

No matter how many years pass, nothing is going to change about Alchemy of Souls Season 2. And honestly, a lot of people loved it, so it clearly wasn’t the failure you’re claiming it was. If anything, you should probably take that up with the writers, the Hong Sisters, since they were the ones who decided to cast Go Youn-jung instead of keeping the original actress. And interestingly enough, they cast her again in their next project, which also ended up being commercially successful. So maybe they know a little more about casting than we do.

She seems to understand her own strengths, and I’m sure she’ll keep choosing projects that play to those. When the time comes and she feels ready to take on more complex roles, I’m sure she’ll go for it. I’m not complaining though. I’ll still be watching her work either way. And honestly, there are very popular actresses with 20+ years in the industry who have done the same thing, choosing roles that fit their strengths. I won’t name names.

I'm coming after you...just kidding. We all have different preference and thank goodness we have variety. What's good to me might not be for you and vice versa.

Yes, it was confirmed.

Okay.

You don't have to worry about that as it's working fine for her and she has the money to do it and so are the other actresses and actors in the entertainment world.

I thought they already decided to have this stream on Netflix.

She just needs that 1 great role to really solidified her acting from good to great.

Yes, she has almost everything. The only thing she seems to be missing, at least for now, is that strong screen charisma or presence. I’m not sure if that’s something you can learn, or if it’s just something some actors naturally have.

I think Netflix looked at this more from a business angle than just experience. Jisoo has a huge following, and more followers usually means more viewers, which eventually means more money for the platform.

That's my thought process but I can be wrong.

I just started watching, and I do think Jisoo has improved and she’s also very pretty. For me though, her screen presence still feels a bit lacking compared to some of the other actors. A few of them seem to have a stronger screen presence and natural charisma that really draws your attention when they’re on screen. It’s a bit hard to explain. Jisoo isn’t bad at all, she just comes across more understated, while other actors stand out more in the same scenes.

Note: this is not a hate comment, just my opinion of her performance.

ok.

Ok, thx. It is weird that people would go to this extent.

Just noticed your profile name...mind sharing tips if NVD is still good buy?

It's actually pretty good drama. I would not say that it's the best of the best but it entertains those who are fans of the leads, the writer, and the director.

It's wouldn't be GYJ drama if there is no blood involved. She's looking great as always.

He might be her ex boyfriend that was shown that he has died in the terrorist attacked...he might have changed his face and why else would he asked her if she has recognized him or not. Just might be a possible scenario.

I first saw him in attorney woo too and then again in Escape from Mogadishu. He's really good.
