Jung Eun-chae’s Acting Criticized in Your Honor Despite 14 Years of Experience as Prosecutor

Despite having 14 years of experience, Jung Eun-chae, who portrays prosecutor Kang So-young in the new ENA drama “Your Honor”, is facing criticism for her awkward acting. Fans have noticed that her performance in episodes 5 and 6 has caused a decrease in their interest in the drama, even though other cast members such as Son Hyun-joo, Kim Myung-min, and Jo Dan-ro have been praised for their seamless acting. Some speculate that this could be due to poor character development or directing, but fans are still hopeful that Jung Eun-chae will improve in future episodes.

In “Your Honor,”Jeong Eun-chae portrays Prosecutor Kang So-young, who embodies the ideal image of a prosecutor fighting against the corrupt chaebol gangsters. She is a determined and ethical individual, dedicated to eliminating corruption. Fans are eagerly anticipating the scenes where she confronts Chairman Kim Kang-heon, issuing a warning, and when she boldly refers to the prosecution and police officers who have become spies for the Woo-won Group as “Rat boys.”

Despite the show’s attempt to comprehensively portray her character, the issue lies in the fact that they dressed her in a short coat, had her smoke cigarettes, and swear. Prior to filming a drama, it is important for actors and actresses to experiment with different styles and costumes to accurately portray their characters. However, it appears that this process was either neglected or led in the wrong direction for “Your Honor.”Even if Jung’s acting had been outstanding, it would not have been enough to overshadow these superficial elements.

Despite receiving some compliments on her visuals, the majority of comments express disappointment with Kang So-young’s performance. Criticisms include statements such as, “She’s so pretty, but her character doesn’t seem to fit,””Her acting as a prosecutor is lacking,”and “Does the production team believe that smoking in a short coat makes her appear strong?”Others have also pointed out issues with the directing.

Jung Eun-chae made her debut in 2010 with the film “Haunters” and has since appeared in 12 films, excluding special appearances. Recently, she starred in Apple TV’s drama “Pachinko Season 2,” released on August 23. Her next project, tvN’s “Jungnyeon: The Star Is Born,” where she stars alongside Kim Tae-ri, is set to premiere on October 12. It is worth mentioning that “Your Honor” was produced by Take One Company, which is owned by Jung Eun-chae’s brother, Jung Min-chae.
