the birth of a nation (2021) [국가의 탄생 | review]

tw: gender based violence (GBV) in the workplace

<the birth of a nation> is a comedy - sitcom web drama about a family that founded a new nation-state. you can watch the drama on Bilibili with Chinese subtitles. the link to it is below.

disclaimer: the review is based solely on my opinion on this drama. since my job title is related to evaluation and I love theatre, i am practicing my skills in evaluating screen and theatre plays. the review is not sponsored by any particular company. the bias occurs in my review process as I am only interested in evaluating zuho’s performance. the review has some limitations. i am evaluating the series through westernised/european lenses. it’s my second time evaluating screen plays. I am still learning the terminology and the theories behind it. finally, the language barrier is a problem in this case because I was not able to find english subtitles for the drama. therefore, i am evaluating zuho’s acting and not the drama itself. finally, i am sorry for any spelling or grammatical mistakes. english is not my first language, so i hope i am not too difficult to understand, but please let me know if i can clarify anything for you.

the storyline describes the situation in which a family founded a fictional nation-state called paradisium. they created a new constitution that would have given them the right to control the state (?). they changed the national anthem to a different one for the people of the country. their nation is autarky meaning that the people of the state produce their own products. they built a new foreign policy (?). finally, they announced changes in the education system (?). my guess is that they dreamed of ruling a country that would make the most sense to them. the plot progression is boring and the storyline is hectic. the way the storyline deals with the creation of a nation-state, poverty, job interviews(?), education, gender-based violence, and power conflicts is a bit of a struggle to get the story right.

at this point, I focus on evaluating baek zuho’s character (apologies for not getting his character’s name in korean). i am not evaluating any other character development because it takes time. zuho’s character development is different from any other character in the series. his character is rounded meaning that he captures the audience’s interest and attention. zuho shows some of the most interesting moments in the series as he experiences conflict (internal or external) and he is multi-dimensional. the character is on the same journey as the protagonist. his character is complicated like real people. the story offered a glimpse into his motives and his actions which lending the story more credibility. regarding the character growth, zuho plays a dynamic character who changes his outlook and personality throughout the story. the character reveals a lot about himself, and how he experiences sadness, anger or love. as a result, zuho’s character becomes the center of attention and makes a story interesting to watch. the character adds flavor to the series. overall, zuho’s is a dynamic and rounded character that i like because he is so engaging and relatable that I empathize with him.

considering that the character is a bit more complex than the others, i would like to make suggestions on his acting style. zuho is very good at showing his anger and frustration in the first place. however he portrays his emotions in an unconvincing way. to improve his acting skills, zuho needs to recognise what makes him feel an emotion so he can have an easy access to his own tears, fears, and smiles (see the stanislavsky technique). furthermore, he can use his own experiences to evoke an emotional reaction appropriate to a particular moment in the scene. to do that, he has to use his own senses. study is the best tool to learn from other actors and actresses as they perform different emotions. moreover, zuho can embodies his characters to figure out the characters’ motivations and why they feel the way they do. last but not least, he needs to be completely present during the filming process. to do this, zuho has to listen to his scene partner and just let himself react.

regarding the voice over scene in the series, I provide the following advice on how his acting can be improved. the tips include (1) the warming up of his voice, which will help him make his voice more open and vibrant, (2) the constant practice that he has to do in order to find the perfect voice for his characters, (3) the research of his characters to create a distinctive voice pattern, (4) the use of the diaphragmatic breathing, which is a technique that helps relax his vocal folds and other muscles to project his voice more clearly, (5) the hydration, meaning that he needs to drink at least a couple of liters of water a day to keep his voice healthy, (6) the watching of his posture, meaning that he needs to stand to read, if possible, (7) the pre-reading of the script, and (8) the recording of a demo reel which he can use as his portfolio as an actor. to summarise the evaluation of his performance, i think he is very good at acting but he needs to embrace/build his identity as an actor to be able to make his own choices in the acting industry. in other words he has to shape his own personality and style to make his acting unique to the audience I suggest him to brand himself as baek zuho, the actor, in the future as well as the SF9 zuho.

the production and the quality of the series are not so good for me personally but i enjoyed watching zuho in general. i am not providing an in-depth analysis of this one because it takes time to write a good review.

i have identified prominent themes and underlying messages conveyed by the drama. i use one example in this review, the way they address gender-based violence in the workplace. one of his siblings got harassed by her boss and he made her feel uncomfortable. to defend herself, she pouches him into the wall and hits him with her hands. from my perspective, the line between the real and the represented is fragile in this case. the effects of harassment on victims/survivors are complex and long-lasting, but series and films often focus on the story of a man rather than the victim. apologies for not providing an in-depth analysis of the situation but it takes time to write a detailed report on it.

to summarise, zuho’s performance is very interesting and i recommend you watching <the birth of a nation> in your spare time.

clarification needed here as i am not sure if i made a mistake in expressing my opinion or not. i am not erasing or invalidating his identity as the rapper-lyricist-composer-producer of SF9 by the way I am referring specifically to the fact that zuho needs to build his identity as an actor. i think that he has the potential to become a great actor and that is the reason why I am supporting his work. i hope there is no doubt about this Zuho and Haewadal know better than me about the way his acting skills can get improved in the short term.

exciting broadcasting accident (두근두근 방송사고 | review)

tw: gender based violence (GBV)

<exciting broadcasting accident> is a romance web drama directed by hong chunggi. You can watch the drama on youtube. i have attached the video on this series for you to watch it on your own time.

Disclaimer: this review is based solely on my opinion on this drama. since my job title is related to evaluation and i love theatre, i am practicing my skills in evaluating screen and theatre plays. the review is not sponsored by any particular company. the bias occurs in my review process as i am focusing on evaluating zuho’s performance, and i am an advocate of addressing sexual and gendered biased violence (SGBV). the review has some limitations. i am evaluating the series through westernised/european lenses. it’s my first time evaluating screen and theatre plays. i am still learning the terminology. finally, i am sorry for any spelling or grammatical mistakes. english is not my first language, so i hope i am not too difficult to understand, but please let me know if i can clarify anything for you.

the storyline describes the situation in which yoon yiseo, a young woman in her twenties, begins working at a live commerce platform. she encounters challenges in both work and love, as she finds herself in the middle of a love struggle between her first love cha sunwoo and her longtime friend kwon hyuk. the plot progression is very good, but the storyline is quite hectic.

the way the storyline deals with career-changing, gender-based violence, love, and conflict in the workplace is a bit of a struggle to get the story right. at this point, i will focus on evaluating baek zuho’s character, cha sunwoo. i am not evaluating any other character development because it takes time. so cha sunwoo’s character development is different from the character development of the female main lead, but it is still good.

cha sunwoo is a flat character, meaning that the character does not develop or change throughout the story. i didn’t notice any changes in his inner world (aka thoughts and emotions) from the beginning to the end of a narrative. cha sunwoo is too simplistic, it feels cliched. the character development of the female lead was totally opposite from the male lead character, cha sunwoo.

regarding the portrayal of cha sunwoo, zuho succeeded in making his character feel like a real person. i mean some people are not expressive enough. his performance was predictable. it could have been better if he could work on his creativity and physical performance.

i recommend zuho to ask for feedback on his acting style from creative people and actors to improve his work. one average performance does not make zuho a bad actor. he has a good craft and he can play well in any role he chooses to do.

the production value was much better than i expected it would be for a web drama. i am not providing an in-depth analysis of this one because it takes time to write it down.

last but not least, i have identified prominent themes and underlying messages conveyed by the drama. an example of this is the way they address GBV. it seemed to criticize the misogynistic laws and the police for being biased towards abused women.

medical care arrangements were missing in the series. that’s the most important part of reporting GBV to the police officers. i guess the scriptwriter’s/scripwriters’ purpose was to make it credible. finally, the series seems to criticize the way. patriarchy (e.g., police officers) takes into account the role of man as the dominant power in society. in this case, cha sunwoo came to “rescue” yoon yiseo and demanded justice.

to summarise, <exciting broadcasting accident> is a good web drama that can make you think about the events that happen in your daily life. i recommend watching it in your spare time. feel free to share your thoughts on this drama or my review below.
