지수는 배우상이긴 한데 지수만의 엉뚱한 캐릭터가 있어서 뭔가 연기할 때 다 어색해 보임

The controversy over Blackpink Jisoo's acting skills has flared up again in the Coupang Play drama Newtopia. We've compiled all the information about Newtopia, including the cast, original work, and number of episodes!
1. Basic information about Newtopia
Coupang Play Original drama Newtopia first aired on February 7, 2025. Everyone expected it to be a zombie apocalypse + romance genre, but there was also an unexpected controversy over the acting.
Summary of basic information
| - Title: Newtopia - Directed by: Yoon Sung-hyun (Director of The Watchman, Time to Hunt) - Original: Han Sang-woon's novel Influenza - Broadcaster: Coupang Play - Number of episodes: 8 episodes (first released on February 7, one episode released every week, final episode on March 21) - Rating: Not suitable for youth |
This drama tells the story of a soldier, Jae-yoon, and a young man, Young-joo, trying to find each other in a zombie-infested Seoul. It 's a zombie drama, but it also has romantic elements, so it's a uniquely appealing piece!
2. Newtopia Cast & Characters
Newtopia is full of talented actors, but controversy over Jisoo's acting skills could not be avoided.
Cast lineup
| - Park Jung-min – Lee Jae-yoon (26-year-old late bloomer soldier, growing up fighting zombies) - Jisoo – Kang Young-joo (Jae-yoon’s ex-girlfriend, fresh out of college) - Im Seong-jae – Line Ho (Jae-yoon's successor, survival strategist) - Kim Jun-han – Aaron Park (General Manager of Eden Hotel) - Hong Seo-hee – Oh Soo-jung (Hotelier) - Kang Young-seok – Seo Jin-wook (Yeong-ju's college senior) - Lee Hak-ju – Seong Tae-sik (Game company CEO) - Tang Jun-sang – Third-time repeater (Yeong-ju’s assistant) |
The lineup of actors is very solid, but Jisoo's acting was met with mixed reviews from viewers.
3. Controversy over Jisoo's acting skills, why on earth?
In fact, this isn't the first time that Jisoo's acting has been controversial. There was controversy over her acting skills in the past with Snowdrop, and there was a similar reaction in Newtopia.
Summary of reasons for the controversy over acting skills
1. Voice & Diction Problems
- Reactions that the lines are awkward and the emotions are not conveyed well
- Some netizens even said that it seemed like actress Ji Ye-eun did a parody on SNL Korea.
2. Lack of facial expressions
- Criticism that facial expressions are too static in emotional scenes
3. Reduced immersion
- There was also an opinion that the difference was definitely noticeable, especially when you were paired with an actor with solid acting skills like Park Jung-min.
Of course, on the other hand, there were also positive reactions such as saying that it was better than before and that it was okay because the character originally had a pure feeling.
4. How does it compare to the original?
Newtopia is based on the novel Influenza by Han Sang-woon. In the original work, the psychological descriptions of the main characters are very detailed, but in the drama, the action and romance seem to be emphasized.
5. Is Newtopia worth seeing?
Honestly, if you like zombies and romance, you'll probably find Newtopia quite interesting. However, if you're sensitive to acting, you might find Jisoo's acting annoying.
- It's a zombie movie, but it's a romance, so it's refreshing and good.
- Park Jung-min's acting is great, but Ji-soo is a bit disappointing
- Leaving aside the controversy over acting skills, the story is interesting.
There are many opinions that the drama itself is worth watching because it is immersive and the actors are solid in their acting. Jisoo's acting skills will continue to be controversial, but it is a work that fans should watch at least once.
