Jouer du vieillissement : Dazzling (JTBC, 2019)

This article examines how South Korean television treats the body in old age, looking at the issue of aging and the portrayal of disease in Dazzling. Kim Hyeja, the country's most beloved actress, who is almost 80 years old, plays the main character who gets lost in time. Her presence gives authenticity and depth to the series, and at the same time renews the collective memory of the Korean audience, and attracts audiences of all ages. The ageing star is involved in the creation of new roles and new fictions. With this in mind, Dazzling, who questions the place of the elderly in today's society, opens up other possibilities for senior actors.
