ENA 'Salon de Holmes' Lee Si-young is receiving positive reviews for her acting.
ENA's Monday-Tuesday drama 'Salon de Holmes' (directed by Min Jin-ki and Jung Hyun-nam, written by Kim Yeon-sin, produced by Artist Company, A2Z Entertainment, and Neo Entertainment) is set against the backdrop of Gwangseonju APT. and features a super detective, a former ace detective, an insurance mogul, and the queen of part-timers, united as a team of four women to punish the apartment villain in a comedic romance action drama.
Notably, 'Salon de Holmes' has garnered attention as director Min Jin-ki's first romance drama, recognized for directing the year's biggest hit series 'New Recruit,' and the latest episode, episode 8, recorded a viewership rating of 3.3% (based on Nielsen Korea nationwide), achieving a delightful result of three consecutive hits for ENA's Monday-Tuesday drama, with only two episodes left until its end, and is on the verge of breaking the year’s highest ratings for ENA dramas.
Among them, Lee Si-young (as Gong Mi-ri), Jung Young-joo (as Choo Kyung-ja), Kim Da-som (as Park So-hee), and Nam Ki-ae (as Jeon Ji-hyun) have stood out as 'life-close women heroes' by brilliantly subduing the apartment villains, showcasing both their powerful performances and captivating character portrayals, all while developing an increasingly tight chemistry as a key viewing point.
First, Lee Si-young plays the 'brain' of the detective group in the drama, leading the team with sharp insight, quick thinking, and innate intuition. Showcasing the charm of her intelligent character, Lee Si-young perfectly executes comedic acting such as getting egged and struggling with desperate physiological phenomena, displaying a broad acting spectrum. Additionally, in the later parts of the storyline where 'Ribbon Man Mystery' intensifies, she delicately portrays complex emotions afflicted by crime trauma, enhancing the immersion of the drama.
Alongside this, Jung Young-joo fully demonstrates her boisterous charm as the 'female Ma Dong-seok,' living up to her nickname. Particularly, Jung Young-joo's action performance during her physical confrontations with villains has become a highlight in 'Salon de Holmes.' Furthermore, Kim Da-som, portraying the detective group's on-site informant 'Park So-hee,' has been praised for not only her tough and daring little sister charm but also for deeply capturing the poignant side of a single mother raising a sick child. In addition, Nam Ki-ae, the eldest sister in the detective group and a super social butterfly, displays her solid acting skills and gains popularity as 'the lovable older sister.'
Above all, their performances become even more explosive as the drama reaches its climax. Thus, it remains to be seen how Lee Si-young, Jung Young-joo, Kim Da-som, and Nam Ki-ae, who have transformed from a 'female detective group' to a 'women hero quartet,' will showcase their fervent acting in the highly anticipated 'Ribbon Man murder case,' which will be their final case.
Meanwhile, Lee Si-young recently revealed through social media that she is "currently pregnant," stating that she implanted an embryo from the IVF procedure she attempted during her marriage without her ex-husband's consent immediately after their divorce. She noted, "The other party did not agree, but I intend to fully bear the weight of the decision I made," and added, "I will live responsibly so that my child lacks nothing, even on my own," which has sparked discussions.
