It is in this regard that I wish to review the Korean drama My ID is Gangnam Beauty (2018). This article does not antagonise external interference and only wishes to reread the perception of external interference held by society, the hypocrisy of beauty standards, and women’s agency with respect to it all. Women need to age ‘gracefully’, look less like an ‘aunty’, feel ‘soft’, have ‘thicker, longer, stronger’ hair, and if necessary need external interference, that is, cosmetics. Advertisements casually vilifies ageing or ‘self-neglect’ to ring an alarm about external beauty. I think this lingering image will continue on for some time.Beauty standards are used to grade individuals and permeates into one’s sense of self-worth. I think ‘Gangnam Beauty’ will remain as one of my life works. If they really do produce a second season, I definitely want to do it. Because Eun Woo is very playful, our chemistry was even better.”įinally, the interviewer brought up the possibility of a second season for “My ID is Gangnam Beauty,” and asked if Im Soo Hyang had any interest in appearing in it. ” She continued, “Since I worked with younger actors on this project, I purposely joked around a lot and worked hard to have fun. a comfortable senior when acting together. Whether it’s in dramas or plays, teamwork is important, but if I suddenly try to stand out, the harmony will be broken. When asked about what type of senior she wanted to be to her junior actors, she remarked, “I want to be a comfortable senior. I think I realize my age during those moments.”
Additionally, people now call me ‘senior’ on set. Compared to a few years ago, I’ve lost some of my stamina. There are some things that make me realize I’m, however. Of course, I personally don’t make a distinction between people in their 20s and 30s, but it is a one year difference. What do you think your acting life will be like in your 30s?” Im Soo Hyang replied, “It can’t get any deeper than when you’re in your 20s. The interviewer then commented, “You’ll be in your 30s soon. I thought that I should try harder, and I was very grateful for the support of many young fans who cheered me on through comments online. Even with this project, when I heard, ‘Im Soo Hyang is good at acting,’ it really helped me a lot. She stated, “I don’t think there is a happier moment than when I hear the words, ‘You act well.’ Even now, when I’m asked, ‘What type of actor do you want to be?’ I answer, ‘An actor that acts well.’ I think that’s essential. Im Soo Hyang then discussed how she wanted to be evaluated as an actor. Isn’t that one of life’s small pleasures?”
Turning on the air conditioner and watching TV while eating watermelons on a really hot day. Usually, I just eat delicious food with my friends and I’m happy to just play with my puppies. I’m also happy that the viewers are watching me. Wouldn’t it be a rather unhappy life? Now, I’m just so happy to act and communicate with people around me. No matter how rich and big a star I become, I don’t think it’ll work if I’m not happy. When asked about her dreams, she answered, “My dream is literally to live happily. The drama presents a message to society about the effects of valuing appearances and evaluating others’ looks.ĭuring the interview, she talked about her dreams, her character, and a possible second season for “My ID is Gangnam Beauty.” In the show, she played Kang Mi Rae, a girl who undergoes plastic surgery before she enters college.
