Impressive Two Main Character’s Speeches

Kim Sa-rang grandfather
Try to do everything at an early time.
   Why CP selects this speech: Maybe, grandfather Kim Sa-rang wants to tell this speech to university students. Once we get old, we can’t dream because we have lived a busy life to take care of many things in our daily life. So, we have to accomplish our dream at relatively earlier age when we are young and passionate about our dream. Why don’t you write your wish list?

Oh Ro-ra, Boss
Without changes like plastic surgery, we can’t live this world.
   Why does CP select this speech: This speech reflects our life. Most people prefer beautiful and pretty outward appearance and slim body or so. Many people want to have plastic surgery in favor of looking better. What it worse, they commit suicide since their look is not good. Loving oneself is most important, but many modern people don’t recognize it. CP was impressed with this speech because of the bitter satire on society.

Also, the voice of the actor “Na Mi-jung” is so clean and clear that you will be touched. Second, this musical uses video which is called characteristic of the digital age. In order to catch alive spectator’s sight, they use many video clips. In addition, they do magic in a manner of printing T-shirt throughout beam. Third, skill for dancing is good and amazing. If you watch the grandfather’s dance, you will be shocked, because he is a good dancer. Last but not least, the actors interact with audiences. In the middle of show, spectators can participate in the stage and they can play together. These sectors will help your joy in long running time. Therefore, audiences are never bored. Nevertheless, in the latter part of the play, the flow of the story was too fast to understand the story.
