Jisoo’s “Newtopia”Trailer Sparks Mixed Reactions on Acting Skills
The anticipation for Jisoo’s new zombie drama alongside Park Jeong Min has captivated fans, especially after the release of striking photo teasers. However, it was the newly unveiled trailer that shifted the focus, with netizens scrutinizing Jisoo’s acting capabilities.
On January 7, the eagerly awaited trailer for Newtopia debuted, generating significant excitement among viewers who are anxiously counting down the days until the show’s premiere. The clip kicks off with Young Joo, portrayed by Jisoo, seeking time apart from her soldier boyfriend, Jae Yoon, played by Park Jeong Min.
As the trailer unfolds, it showcases a quirky zombie-infested Seoul, blending horror with comedic moments and chronicling the couple’s heartwarming attempts to reunite amidst the chaos.
Despite the trailer’s intent to create anticipation, discussions erupted on an online forum, where some users voiced criticisms regarding Jisoo’s performance. Comments ranged from requests for her to improve her skills to concerns about her overall delivery.
“Jisoo-yah, can you come back after practicing acting a bit?”one user remarked.
“Seriously, what are they gonna do about Jisoo’s acting? I tried enduring her while watching this, but I felt right away that Jisoo can’t act,”another user stated.
“Acting aside, can she fix her pronunciation and vocalization?”another comment read.
Many netizens echoed the sentiment for improvement, particularly recalling Jisoo’s previous lead role in Snow Drop and expressing apprehension about her performance in the upcoming Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint.
Conversely, a section of fans rushed to Jisoo’s defense, arguing that it is premature to judge her acting solely based on a brief trailer. One supporter expressed:
“I don’t think it’s fair to judge her from the clipped five seconds they showed us, to be honest. I feel like people are jumping to conclusions and overreacting.”
Another fan echoed this sentiment, stating:
“They’re so worried about the ‘acting’ just by watching the smallest bits used in a trailer. Sure.”
As the buzz surrounding Jisoo’s performance continues, it remains to be seen how viewers will react once the series fully premieres. The dynamic between the comedic aspects of the show and Jisoo’s character portrayal could play a significant role in shaping opinions.
