tvN’s upcoming drama “Jeongnyeon: The Star Is Born” has released teasers that tease the characters’ relationships!
Based on a popular webtoon, the upcoming drama is directed by Jung Ji In, known for “The Red Sleeve.” Set in the 1950s, shortly after the Korean War, the series follows Jeong Nyeon (Kim Tae Ri), a young vocal prodigy who dreams of becoming a top traditional theater actor. The show explores Jeong Nyeon’s journey through competition, teamwork, and personal growth amid a difficult era for the nation.
In the teaser videos, viewers are introduced to three key relationships centered around the protagonist Yoon Jeong Nyeon.
The standout dynamic is the intense rivalry between Jeong Nyeon, described as a natural-born vocal prodigy, and Yeong Seo (Shin Ye Eun), the elite trainee. Jeong Nyeon, thrilled to have a formidable competitor after being impressed by Yeong Seo’s skills, shows enthusiasm. However, Yeong Seo cools things down by saying, “Don’t think of yourself as being on my level.” This rivalry ignites a strong drive in both characters, propelling their impressive development as national actors. The teaser builds excitement for the story of these two young vocalists.

In contrast, the teaser that focuses on the relationship between Jeong Nyeon and So Bok (Ra Mi Ran) highlights their stark differences. Jeong Nyeon, the new recruit, is portrayed as unruly as a thunderstorm, while So Bok, the strict leader of the national theater troupe, is her polar opposite.
The teaser depicts Jeong Nyeon’s rocky start with the troupe, including her late arrival to the entrance exam, while So Bok frequently scolds her, adding a humorous element. Despite this, So Bok quickly recognizes Jeong Nyeon’s exceptional talent and encourages her, saying, “The only thing I ask is that you stay true to your own path until the end.” The teaser emphasizes Jeong Nyeon’s role as the troupe’s most troublesome member as well as its promising newcomer, highlighting Jeong Nyeon’s growth and So Bok’s role in guiding her!
Finally, the story of top star Ok Kyung (Jung Eun Chae) and her protégé Jeong Nyeon adds to the excitement. The video shows Ok Kyung, known as the “prince” of the national theater with her dazzling stage presence, struggling with emptiness offstage. The arrival of Jeong Nyeon, a promising newcomer, shakes up both their lives and the national theater scene.
Fascinated by Jeong Nyeon’s natural talent, Ok Kyung confidently says, “You’ll rise faster and higher than anyone else,” generating buzz among viewers. This contrast between the current star and the rising talent fuels anticipation for their compelling story!
The performances by the cast, who bring these varied stories to life with charm, are a major highlight. Kim Tae Ri, Shin Ye Eun, Ra Mi Ran, and Jung Eun Chae fully immerse themselves in their roles, captivating viewers in every scene. Their dynamic interactions, marked by both conflict and harmony, generate strong on-screen chemistry.
