I can't escape the strange and beautiful charm of Suzy.
The Netflix series 'All Will Be Fulfilled', released on the 3rd, features Genie (played by Kim Woo-bin), a spirit of a lamp who awakens after a thousand years, meeting the emotionally detached human Kayoung (played by Suzy) in a stress-free, fantasy romantic comedy revolving around three wishes.
'All Will Be Fulfilled' depicts the long narrative of Genie and Kayoung, crossing between past and present, captivating viewers with a story filled with excitement, laughter, and tenderness as soon as it was released.
In the drama, Suzy plays 'Kayoung', a character with antisocial personality disorder. She was raised by her grandmother and lives by her grandmother's indoctrinated 'rules' and 'routines'. Although she is called a 'psychopath', she can also be seen as a very rare character with the implication of 'human good will'.
Even in unrealistic situations, Kayoung remains expressionless and is unresponsive to the sweet temptation of having three wishes granted. However, after meeting Genie, she climbs to the top of an observation deck and seems to take an interest in death, showing a strange smile of 'real joy' as she says, "I have a chance," which evokes a sense of eeriness and discomfort as if she might cause something to happen at any moment.
However, Kayoung makes an effort to accept what others say and interacts well with the villagers who raised her with love, always keeping her promises. Suzy has created a very attractive character that cannot be easily hated, embodying a complex figure where good and evil coexist.
Suzy's undeniable presence as a rom-com queen also stood out. The explosive chemistry with Kim Woo-bin, who reunited after nine years, kept viewers smiling throughout. Although Kayoung sometimes resorts to violence against Genie, who obsessively clings to wishes, her cute demeanor as she waits for the rules and routines set by Genie while being drawn into the charm of kissing added to the fun of the drama.
Despite Kayoung's lack of expression, Suzy's delicate acting conveyed excitement and interest. Above all, she delivered even the fantastical lines with flair, making viewers want to watch the same scene again.
Since Kayoung is an emotionally detached character, it might be difficult to convey her feelings through appearance alone, but Suzy's efforts shine through, allowing viewers to become fully immersed in the character's emotions.
This can be said to be the charm of the characters Suzy has presented so far, as she has the ability to make viewers want to support and embrace each character she creates. The reason viewers can come to love even the rough edges of a character is that Suzy's meticulous character analysis is well integrated into her performance.
In this work, where many characters appear, Suzy showcases new and fitting chemistry with each character she meets. By portraying characters with completely different personalities across past and present, the diverse and enchanting charm of Suzy can be seen in the Netflix series 'All Will Be Fulfilled'.
