I don’t know when, film and television dramas rely on actresses to undress to stimulate ratings. Is this poison or good medicine?

Hot nude scenes will definitely become the focus. If it is related to the plot, it can also lead the audience into the play, but more often the audience thinks that these scenes do not seem to have too much practical significance, and instead only leave the topic of “naked controversy”.

Take the recent popular Netflix Korean drama as an example. In the hit revenge drama “Dark Glory”, Cha Joo-young, who played “Cui Hye-sung”, was naked from the upper body and from the back, sparking heated discussions. In the end, Cha Joo-young had to go off the stage to clarify, saying that “necessary parts Special effects were used, but my body also appeared in it.”

In the Korean version of “Paper House: Korea Chapter”released in June last year, Lee, who plays “Yoon Mi-sun”, also performed passionate naked sex scenes. The hostess Lee revealed that in order to challenge the first sex scene in his life, he does physical training twice a day or Pilates training five times a week. It is a pity that the Korean version of “Paper House”was criticized by the audience due to reasons such as low quality and embarrassing acting skills, and it did not meet expectations. However, the sex scene between Mr. Lee and Kim Ji-hoon attracted a lot of attention and became more attractive than the plot.

Recently, “Masquerade Girl”was officially released. The newcomer Li Hanxing, the world’s number one beauty Lin Zhenna (Nana) and the child-faced goddess Ko Hyun-jung played the heroine “Kim Maung Mi”in three different periods. Li Hanxing and Lin Zhenna are both in the play. There’s massive nudity, with the former stripping off all his clothes in a webcast and the latter with a full back in prison.

For the bold nudity of the actresses, the audience’s reactions were also different. Some viewers thought: “It’s quite embarrassing when watching it”, “I don’t know if this is what the role needs”, “It feels like adding it for hype”, “It’s embarrassing to watch with your family”; some viewers think: “This is part of the work”, “Professional complainers are finding fault again”, “Don’t watch if you feel uncomfortable”, etc., and argue for this endlessly.
