Editor Ji-Yoon Jin] While Netflix's new original series 'Boys Judgment' entered the top 10 global rankings just two days after its release, actress Lee Yeon, who played a juvenile criminal in the play, drew attention with an unexpected twist.
The Netflix series 'Boys Judgment', which was released on the 25th, tells the story of the juvenile crimes and the judges in charge of them as judge Shim Eun-seok (Kim Hye-soo), a judge who hates juvenile criminals, is appointed to the juvenile department of the district court.
Since its release, 'Boys Judgment' has been praised for its exquisite balance that neither protects nor sells juvenile crimes, which are currently emerging as a social problem.
In particular, juvenile criminal Baek Seong-woo, who left a strong impression from the trailer, led the atmosphere in the beginning of the play by killing someone and showing a brazen smile, saying, "I'm not 14 years old, so I don't have to go to jail."
Viewers praised Baek Sung-woo's realistic acting, saying, "It is the first contribution that made me continue to watch 'Boys Judgment'."
But it turned out that actress Lee Yeon was born in 1995, and she was 28 years old this year.
Even though he's not actually a teenager, he perfectly portrayed the role of a male middle school student who is a law-abiding boy in 'Boy Judgment'.
Viewers were amazed at Lee Yeon's true identity, such as "I was completely deceived by her acting," "I thought a person born in 1995 was acting in 2008," and "I wondered where I got a boy like that, but it was a woman."
Lee Yeon, who made her debut in the movie 'Unknown' in 2018, made her appearance as the younger sister of the main character, Jun-ho Ahn (Jung Hae-in) in Netflix's other box office hit 'DP'.
When Netflix announced her Lee Yeon's appearance in 'DP' and posted, "Did you know about the past works of these actors in 'The Boy Judgment'? You were quite surprised?" also left a message.
Netflix's 'Judgment of Boys' is a work that not only points out the actual social system but does not glorify the juvenile offenders, but also the synergy between veteran actors and new actors.
Actors Kim Hye-soo, Kim Mu-yeol, Lee Seong-min, and Lee Jeong-eun, who need no explanation, form a strong central axis, and actors such as Lee Yeon, Hwang Hyeon-jeong, and Shim Dal-gi as juvenile offenders became the protagonists of various plum blossom incidents and showed a strong presence.
Kim Hye-soo, the main character of 'Judgment of Boys', also praised the new actors who played juvenile criminals, saying, "She showed acting that was out of the typical. It was surprising and fresh to the extent that it was shocking. It is the new faces who play the juvenile criminals that give life to each episode." did not spare
