Actress Choi Soo-young made a strong impression from the very first episode of the series ‘IdolI.’
Choi Soo-young showcased her full presence in Genie TV’s original drama ‘IdolI.’ Her perfect transformation and vibrant acting clearly defined the show’s style, instantly captivating the audience. Choi Soo-young’s portrayal of a cold star lawyer who is also an enthusiastic fan stood out in the first episode.
Premiering on the 22nd, ‘IdolI’ is a mystery legal romance. It follows Maeng Se-na, a star lawyer who is also an avid fan, as she takes on the case of her favorite idol, Do Ra-ik (played by Kim Jae-young), when he is accused of murder.
Choi Soo-young plays Maeng Se-na, a star lawyer known for defending ‘devils.’ While she skillfully wins criminal cases others avoid, she transforms into a fervent fan when it comes to her favorite band, ‘Gold Boys.’ Choi Soo-young masterfully captures this dramatic contrast, making her portrayal of Maeng Se-na captivating.
The first episode amplified excitement with an unexpected meeting between Se-na and Ra-ik. After failing to secure concert tickets, Se-na confronted a scalper on the day of the concert. As she chased him away, she accidentally ran into Ra-ik, who was on his way to the venue. Se-na’s joy from this surprise encounter was brief, as a sudden twist occurred: fellow band member Woo-seong (played by Ahn Woo-yeon) was found murdered, and Ra-ik became the prime suspect. The narrative then shifted to maximize engagement as the lawyer and murder suspect met again.
Choi Soo-young crafted an intriguing character in just one episode, set against the unique premise of a romance where she must prove her favorite idol’s innocence. She vividly contrasts her cold lawyer demeanor with her emotive fan side, effectively adjusting the show’s rhythm. Her natural acting, relatable to fans, adds humor and further immerses the audience.
Choi Soo-young, known for consistently creating impressive characters with her excellent expressiveness across many projects, once again solidified her strengths in the first episode of ‘IdolI.’ Her impactful presence immediately stirred the series’ flow, drawing attention and anticipation.
‘IdolI’ airs every Monday and Tuesday at 10 PM KST on KT Genie TV and is simultaneously broadcast on ENA.
