(NOTE: This is about Kim Taeri. The below is not about the entire cast, who themselves are doing great in their respective theatre scenes. There are also a few who started in theatre acting or have theatre skills learned later. One of which was Taeri's real-life friend who, from what I've read, also started in theatre.)
Kim Taeri (김태리) as lead in ”Jeongnyeon" ("정년이") was no doubt intentional, we can go as far as to say this was written with her in mind. Theatre is her turf after all.
Theatre actors are actually the best screen actors too. It's why those who started on-screen are advised to go into theatre acting so they can hone their skills and learn the secrets in acting.
In the West, Sir Patrick Stewart—known for the roles Captain Jean-Luc Picard and Professor Charles Xavier—started as a theatre actor. His American counterparts in Star Trek: The Next Generation often shared how he changed the show and how they learned acting from him (they're already established actors).
It's why Kim Taeri is so good herself.
Even though her theatre scenes in this show were scripted, you can actually see her threatre acting in full display. I wouldn't be surprise if all they did was roll the camera continuously, and let everything happen naturally. 🙃🙂 The editing director probably had an easy time as well for the Kim Taeri theatre scenes.
Whenever it's Kim Taeri's theatre scenes, it is as if we're watching a fan camera of a real live theatre play. You can see the difference in her acting, theatre vs on-screen. Kim Taeri is being full-on theatre actor mode when she's in a theatre scene. On-sceen mode when in everything else. Truly a legend. No, a goddess.
