A chilling Agency line puts Be Melodramatic back in the spotlight

Scenes from JTBC's Agency and Be Melodramatic, featuring Son Naeun and Jeon Yeo-been, resurface for blunt lines about pro-Japanese collaborators.

·

Lines directed at descendants of pro-Japanese collaborators in the JTBC dramas 'Agency' and 'Be Melodramatic' are drawing attention once again. The words spoken by characters facing individuals who treat past wrongdoings as trivial are being discussed under the theme of "teaching pro-Japanese collaborators a lesson."

The line about donating a plane to the Japanese Government-General of Korea in episode 7 of 'Agency'

In 'Agency', a scene appears where a character directly confronts an opponent's family history amidst a power struggle. The line, "Your grandfather donated a plane to the Japanese Government-General of Korea," erupts at a moment when the psychological warfare between the characters reaches a tense peak.

'Agency', which garnered significant attention for the appearance of Son Naeun, is a work that depicts the survival competition and power struggles of its characters. In particular, the scene in episode 7 heightens the tension of the drama as a character enjoying their current status while leaving past wrongs behind clashes with a character digging into those roots.

Dialogue from episode 1 of 'Be Melodramatic' also summoned

'Be Melodramatic', starring Jeon Yeo-been, was also included in this video. While it is a work characterized by everyday conversation and strong humor, in certain scenes such as episode 1, remarks surrounding the characters' backgrounds and pasts create a much chillier atmosphere.

The video brings together different scenes from the two works to show how characters with power attempt to move past the past and how lines that strike at those loopholes are positioned. The setting of being a descendant of a pro-Japanese collaborator and the blunt remarks directed at them clarify the conflicts within the dramas, capturing the interest of viewers.
