> **Did I watch a theatre play or a TV drama?** What a masterpiece. «Jeongnyeon: The Star Is Born» («정년이») gave us an unforgettable finale, and Kim Taeri (김태리), Shin Yeeun (신예은), and Woo Davi (우다비) absolutely delivered. These three? My absolute favourites. ### Here's why it stood out: 1. The editing? Flawless. 2. They filmed the theatre scenes as if it was a real performance. It didn’t just feel authentic—it _was_ authentic. 3. Every scene mattered. No fluff, no fillers. Just storytelling that hits hard. 4. They focused on what’s real: the relationships, the struggles, the rawness of being an actor, singer, or dancer. It wasn’t just about glitz and glamour. It was blood, sweat, and tears. ### Finale episode Now, about that finale. If you’re going to watch it, do it right. Big screen. Full volume. No distractions. It felt so much like a real theatre experience I caught myself clapping with the fictional audience, tearing up, and giving them a standing ovation. Honestly, I don’t know if I just watched «Jeongnyeon» or an actual stage play. That’s how good it was. ### Conclusion 100 over 10 stars to the cast, crew, writer, and everyone who brought this story to life. And a huge salute to every artist out there who pours their soul into their craft. You are seen. You are celebrated.
