Like a fish in water.
Girls’ Generation’s Sooyoung is like one in tvN’s Monday/Tuesday drama, “Dating Agency; Cyrano”. After ambitiously trying her hand at acting last year in the tvN drama, “The Third Hospital”, Sooyoung showed minuscule presence amongst prominent actors. She also acted as a patient in a coma, not really giving viewers a chance to evaluate her acting. However, Sooyoung took on a title role with Lee Jonghyuk, and accepted the opportunity to properly prove her acting.
While she did take over the position of a lead role, the burden that came with it was probably immense because her opposing lead role is Lee Jonghyuk, who has a reputation as a good actor. Along with having to win over past displays of the Gong Minyoung character in a film, Sooyoung probably had to swallow comparisons between actress Park Shinhye and herself. However, the results exceeded expectations. Sooyoung melted into a cheerful and animated character without much difficulty, completely different from the character in the film.
There weren’t excessive emotions or overdone expressions that commonly appear in acting newcomers, and there are mainly positive assessments about her, such as having stable dictation. Along with her actions of falling backwards in the first episode, her acting like a tipsy drunkard wasn’t awkward. Sooyoung, who received assessments for her reserved acting in
“The Third Hospital”, has now stretched as much as she wanted through “Dating Agency; Cyrano” and is receiving positive evaluations along with showing her potential as an actress.
The Gong Minyoung in the drama is more empowered than in the movie. The romance between her and Seo Byunghoon (played by Lee Jonghyuk), which didn’t stand out in the film, is a major plot in the drama, and Gong Minyoung is responsible for the aggravation of conflict early on. This conflict came about in the episode that aired on May 28th. At the end of this episode, unlike the Gong Minyoung who felt veracity and doubt in manipulated love, she is shown acting in ways unlike the official operations of the Cyrano Agency.
To this, Seo Byunghoon declared to Gong Minyoung, “You’re out of Cyrano Agency,” leading her into a state of crisis. The drama “Dating Agency; Cyrano” is in episode form, spotlighting the process of clients who come to Cyrano Agency, attaining love. Aside from that, a main point will also be romanticist Gong Minyoung, who dreams of honest love, decreasing the gap between herself and Cyrano Agency’s creation of love through manipulation.
With this, Sooyoung’s tasks will become even more tremendous.
With the cute and cheerful image Sooyoung built through Girls’ Generation, she expresses how lovable Gong Minyoung is in “Dating Agency; Cyrano” well and is livening up the charms of a romantic comedy with the bubbly nature of a young lady in her 20’s. However, the future is what’s important. The romance with Lee Jonghyuk, overcoming a 16 year age difference in real life, and the detailed change in emotion through it, amongst other things, are all a pile of tasks that Sooyoung must overcome. To see if Sooyoung will be able to show her strength to pull the drama forward until the end after having a positive start, it is necessary to give attention to “Dating Agency; Cyrano”.

Sooyoung Fighting !!
Good job, 수영!
Ahhhhhh I LOVE THIS DRAMA!!! It’s absolutely hilarious. And Sooyoung unnie is amazingly brilliant! She is very natural, funny and believable. She really convinced me that she is Gong Minyoung, not Choi Sooyoung hehe. Sooyoung is not only pretty like a doll, she is talented and I’m really surprised by her acting talent. She and Hong Jonghyun are my favorites! I really can’t wait for the next episode and I wish Sooyoungie more acting roles in the future too! SARANGHAEE Sooyoungie~~~
Awesome Sooyoung fighting, I’m waiting for the subs of the videos but I saw the first episode and overall I liked it very much, how Sooyoungie acts and the dynamics of the drama itself so looking forward for more, hopefully soshified can upload it after the drama ends, hopefully they don’t have problems with copyrights..Sooyoungie fighting!
Sooyoung, you are great! I just watched first two episodes with Eng subs on Dailymotion.
AS excepted from our Sooyoung unnie, she never fail to surprise SONEs with her acting. Sooyoung unnie Hwaiting!
gogo Sooyoung eonni!!!~
I’m very love her action, it’s so fun and fresh
Her drunk scene was probably the funniest part in episode 2 when she gave Seung Pyo aka Master her Swiss Army knife and ruffled his hair lol
The role was meant for her. I really love her character in the drama. It’s amazing to see Sooyoung act on screen. She’s really natural.
Sooyoung is an awesome actress. She was really moving in The 3rd Hospital, and after watching the first episode of Cyrano, she is already shining. Sooyoung is so much fun to watch!
The hype for this drama was huge and with the first two episodes, it fulfilled its calling. I thought it was hilarious and seeing Sooyoung act was amazing. I wish more of SNSD’s members played characters in comedy shows and films because I think it fits them perfectly. After each episode even though it has only been two I just had to know when the next one was coming out. I hope it’s released weekly but if it’s earlier than that I’m not complaining. Sooyoung, fighting!
Typical K-dramas air two episodes each week, and this one is no exception.
This show airs on every Monday and Tuesday at 11pm KST. I don’t know how long this drama will be, but I think this will be about 16 episodes long.
It airs every Monday & Tuesday and will be 16 episodes. Taemin will be there next week
After watching the first episode, I got hooked and now I can’t wait to see what happens next in episode 2.
Wow
i just watched the first episode, she was hilarious! i think the role was made for her..i’m currently watching the 2nd episode and from the looks of it, she’s gonna be even better! fighting Sooyoung unnie~!
this is SNSD’s Sooyoung we’re talking about yo. of course this chica is going to overcome all the obstacles and put on a fantastic performance in her role. i can’t wait to see her continue to grow as a professional actress as the episodes continue to air every week on the tele. Sooyoung-tress jjang! so proud of babygirl doing her thing and getting praises from pairs and media outlets.
thank you SSF :D
I think her acting is superb in this show. The only fault that I found with this show is that I wish they’d cast someone a bit younger/more attractive to play the male lead. He looks too old for her and so it makes their chemistry look forced instead of natural. However, that’s not SooYoung’s fault; it’s the casting director’s. I have a feeling that this will be SooYoung’s best role to date.
Although there are many praises towards Sooyoung in her role just as two episodes (maybe even just one) I still think there is a long way to go before I removed her as ‘Choi Sooyoung’ to ‘Gong Minyoung’ but because it is her first time as a lead role she has my two thumbs and shoulders up plus my support as a great actress to-be.
she is a good actress her act is very natural
I also liked Sooyoung. She definite wasn’t overacting. Her performance fit her character.
And her acting made me forget she was SNSD’s Sooyoung while watching the episodes.
