“Jeongnyeon” is one of the most anticipated Korean dramas in the last three months of 2024, marking the return of the famous actress Kim Tae-ri. The series is adapted from a webtoon of the same name, which was originally inspired by Kim Tae-ri’s character in the classic film “The Handmaiden”. For this reason, it’s no surprise that Kim Tae-ri looks as if she stepped straight out of the comic with her portrayal. Another name making a strong impression with her “comic book-like” visuals is the beautiful supporting actress Kim Yoon-hye.
In the drama, Kim Yoon-hye plays Seo Hye-rang, the top star of the Maeran classical theater troupe, who always takes on lead roles in every performance. She is known for her unique dancing skills and elegant beauty. However, the character is also described as cunning, willing to harm anyone she sees as a threat to her position at Maeran. Seo Hye-rang’s appearance is expected to mark a major turning point in the coming-of-age story of the female lead, Jeong Nyeon (played by Kim Tae-ri).
From posters to newly released character stills, Seo Hye-rang appears with a captivating aura. She always stands out, whether on the streets or on stage. Her sharp gaze has intrigued viewers about this ambitious character.
After the reveal of these images, Kim Yoon-hye received numerous compliments for her star-like charisma and stunning looks, which perfectly match her role. Her resemblance to Seo Hye-rang in the webtoon has also left audiences in awe.
Some netizens’ comments:
– “I’m really impressed with this production team; they cast actors who look exactly like the comic characters!“
– “Kim Yoon Hye is so pretty! I didn not expect her usual innocent vibe, but she fits the superstar role perfectly!“
– “Yoon-hye looks just like the Seo Hye-rang I imagined. I’m amazed!“
– “She suits the historical look so well.”
Set in the 1950s in Korea, “Jeongnyeon” tells the life story of Yoon Jung-nyeon, a young girl from Mokpo. She does not have money or an education, but she has a rare, heavenly singing voice. To earn money and fulfill her dream of becoming wealthy, Yoon Jung-nyeon joins a traditional women’s theater troupe. The drama will revolve around the events in her life as she navigates this world.
