Jeongnyeon: The Star Is Born

2025 12 episodes tvN Drama Historical Musical Netflix

In 1950s Korea, when female pansori performers were considered scandalous, a young woman with a voice powerful enough to make audiences forget propriety fights her way from rural poverty to the national stage. Yun Jeongnyeon refuses every compromise that would make her journey easier — including the ones offered by the men who recognize her talent but want to own it. A period drama about art, gender, and the specific audacity of a woman who insists on being extraordinary in an era that demanded she be invisible.
