The movie Holy Night : Demon Hunters has arrived in Vietnamese theaters after many weeks of causing a stir in its home country of Korea. Besides action star Ma Dong Seok, the film also attracted attention when it gathered many beauties of Korean showbiz such as Seo Hyun (SNSD), Jung Ji So and Kyung Soo Jin.

In the film, Seo Hyun plays Sharon, a female shaman under Bow (Ma Dong Seok). She has possessed psychic powers since childhood and is able to exorcise evil spirits. Sharon and her younger brother were once saved by Bow, so they now follow him to help him in his journey to hunt down and destroy evil gangs. Under the transformation of the youngest member of SNSD, the character appears with a prominent, attractive and somewhat mysterious and ghostly appearance. Photo: @seojuhyun_s. |
Seo Hyun made an impression in the exorcism scenes, especially the scenes where she confronts the evil spirits in her mind. She also scored points for her humor with her charming banter with her co-stars, making viewers laugh many times. In addition, the actress's delivery and body language also showed progress compared to her previous TV roles. Photo: @seojuhyun_s. |
However, the 1991-born star still shows limitations in expression and inner acting. Sometimes, her performance is somewhat exaggerated, especially in the climax. The limitations in the script also do not give the character much room to really shine in valuable scenes. However, Sharon is still a remarkable role in Seo Hyun's film career, showing that she dares to renew herself in strange character models. Photo: @seojuhyun_s. |
Kyung Soo Jin attracted attention from the beginning of the film when she transformed into psychiatrist Jung Won, who is also the older sister of Eun Seo - a victim of demonic possession. After discovering that her younger sister had strange symptoms after moving to a new house, Jung Won tried to treat her but things got worse. Driven to the brink, she had to ask for help from the demon hunting group led by Bow. Throughout the journey to rescue the victim from the control of the mysterious force, Jung Won appeared as a sister who loved and cared for her younger sister. Photo: @love3175989. |
Kyung Soo Jin successfully expressed the anxiety and suffering of a person in a desperate situation. The scenes where she is helpless and devastated when witnessing her sister's transformation create emotional and touching moments for the film. The strong point of the beauty born in 1987 is her "talking" eyes, full of narrative and quite natural expressions. Under Soo Jin's transformation, Jung Won becomes closer, creating sympathy with the audience. Photo: @love3175989. |
However, Kyung Soo Jin's performance was not fully exploited. At some important moments, her character could have developed more inner depth, especially her childhood trauma or the guilt of not being able to protect her sister. These knots were only superficially resolved, not enough weight. However, Kyung Soo Jin still gave a good performance overall. Photo: @love3175989. |
The highlight of the performance in Holy Night: Demon Hunters belongs to young star Jung Ji So , in the role of the possessed girl Eun Seo. Playing the central role in the plot, the character undergoes a terrifying transformation as evil forces increasingly destroy both her body and mind. Eun Seo lives with her sister after the death of her parents, grows up with a series of traumas and has a history of mental illness. Because of that, she is targeted and becomes the subject of a secret evil sacrificial ritual. Photo: @mint_ziso. |
Jung Ji So impressively portrays Eun Seo's transformation from a fragile, innocent young woman to a body manipulated by a demon. The scenes of soulless eyes, distorted deep voices, and twisted, monstrous facial expressions make viewers shudder. The actress born in 1999 shows her ability to master long shots with close-up angles, where any lack of control or subtlety can make the character look fake or too "dramatic". Photo: @mint_ziso. |
Under the performance of Jung Ji So, Eun Seo takes viewers from one surprise to another with sudden psychological changes, showing the turn of the evil spirit. At a relatively young age, Ji So is highly appreciated by experts when she continuously takes on psychologically heavy roles. Before Holy Night: Demon Hunters, the Gen Z girl also made her mark through blockbusters such as Parasite or The Cursed. Photo: @mint_ziso. |
