Frowns and frolicking for Twenty Again

Choi Ji-woo is really embracing her cute side these days, isn’t she? Her real-life personality always seemed on the bubbly side, but now she’s really going after the cuteness with gusto, and I can’t think of a better fit for Twenty Again, where she plays a 38-year-old wife and mother who decides to get her university degree, to the dismay of practically everyone.

The teaser below has everyone reacting in disbelief and horror at the idea of their first love (to Lee Sang-yoon), wife (for Choi Won-young), mother (Kim Min-jae), and boyfriend’s mother (Sohn Na-eun) being part of the entering class of ’15. (“She’s… my pupil?! A new student? My classmate?!”)

 

I do enjoy the series of scrunched-up, grumpy faces, followed by Choi Ji-woo skipping along perfectly happily, all excited to get a second chance at the education she never had, as well as all the experiences that come with campus life when most of your peers are barely legal adults. Ignore those party-poopers and keep being cool, awesome lady! They’ll deal with it. You do you.

Twenty Again follows Oh My Ghostess as tvN’s next Friday-Saturday drama. It premieres on August 28.

'My Second 20s' newly released poster with Choi Ji-woo's youthful and fresh image

In the official poster of "My Second 20s", Choi Ji-woo's perfect transformation as a freshman, Ha No-ra in admission class of '15, who is in her second 20s, is drawing attention.

The fresh and cheerful catchphrase, "Hiya~ I'm Ha No-ra in admission class of '15!" and Choi Ji-woo's bright fresh smile as she is lying down on the green grass raises the anticipation level on the drama. A group poster with the catchphrase, 'Beautiful 20s we met again', featuring the five main actors, who will lead the drama, "My Second 20s" has been unveiled as well.

In the group poster, the five actors Choi Ji-woo, Lee Sang-yoon (Cha Hyeon-seok), Choi Won-yeong (Kim Woo-cheol), Son Na-eun (Oh Hye-mi), and Kim Min-jae-I (Kim Min-soo) are smiling brightly lying down on the grass.

Choi Ji-woo resting her head on her first love, Lee Sang-yoon's knees creates the sweet vibe between the two. Son Na-eun and Kim Min-jae-I, who appear as a campus couple in the drama, are holding hands tight showing off their lovely and cute chemistry. tvN's second project of respond-to-youth series, "My Second 20s" will begin on August 29th after the completion of 'Oh My Ghostess'.

As audiences age, so do small-screen stars

Female characters in TV dramas these days are diverging from the typical formula.

Small screens used to be filled with girls in their 20s or 30s struggling with romantic issues, but these types are not the mainstream anymore.

Instead, the age range has gotten a little older, and their major concerns don’t revolve around men or love anymore but have more to do with their careers. 

For example, the new SBS drama “Mrs. Cop,” which started airing last week, features actress Kim Hee-ae as a detective. 

The 48-year-old actress has many times graced the screen, starring in roles such as an older woman who falls passionately in love with a young man in JTBC’s 2014 drama “Secret,” or a secret mistress in the 2007 SBS drama “My Husband’s Woman.”

However, this is her first time taking on a character as physically tough as this one. 

“It is not easy to come across a character who is as active as this one in your 40s,” said Kim during a press conference for the drama. “I thought this was my last chance.”

Kim’s character, Choi Young-jin, is a single mom who has to go out in the field and raise a kindergartner at the same time. It shows her many struggles of having to manage both jobs at once.

Another representative case is the character played by Song Yun-ah, who appears as a competent politician in the KBS Wednesday-Thursday drama “Assembly.”

The 42-year-old actress, who has also more often been seen in romance and family dramas, plays the part of a career woman who is more experienced at politics than any of her male colleagues. 

One major factor behind this phenomenon is that viewers of dramas on terrestrial channels are mostly middle-aged people. 

“Unlike cable channel dramas, which have very fragmented audiences, terrestrial channels focus more on middle-aged viewers, which is why the protagonists’ age is tending higher these days,” said pop culture critic Jeon Deok-hyun. 

“While the plot line mostly revolved around romance, that has now changed, too, to show distinctive characteristics of different professions,” he added, going on to explain that the thematic change is one of the public broadcasters’ strategies to diversify their viewership.

That strategy has been working for “Mrs. Cop,” which kicked off with stable 8.4 percent and 9.4 percent viewership ratings for the first and second episode, according to Nielsen Korea. 

“Viewers in their 40s liked watching actresses their age deal with romantic issues. But now they have dipped their toes into active and down-to-earth issues, which can gain more sympathy from ordinary people,” said culture critic Gong Hee-jeong. 

Meanwhile, a different attempt is being put forth by cable channel tvN’s drama “Twenty Again.” Instead of specifically aiming at younger viewers, it is reaching out to older ones. The program shows actress Choi Ji-woo at the forefront as a 38-year-old college freshman, who challenges herself to study again after spending most of her 20s as a young mother. 

“Just like the hit office drama ‘Misaeng,’ which was supposed to solely appeal to people in their 30s but gained support from all age ranges, this drama, which revolves around events that happen at a university campus, is also meant to be an easy-to-approach drama among 40-something viewers as well,” said Lee Min-jin, the producer of the drama. 

The first episode of “Twenty Again” is scheduled to air on Aug. 28.
