After starring in the global sensation series “The Glory”, actress Cha Joo Young immediately made her return with a 50-episode drama.
“The Glory” is the most successful K-drama in the first three months of 2023. Not only did the Netflix series solidify Song Hye Kyo’s position in the acting industry, it also significantly boosted the popularity of other cast members. Among them is Cha Joo Young, the beauty who owns one of the most explicit and viral scenes in Part 2 of “The Glory”. Having acted for many years, yet it was thanks to her role as a sexy antagonist in “The Glory” that Cha Joo Young has gained the attention of the masses.

Then, before the heat of “The Glory” could cool, Cha Joo Young immediately returned in the long-running TV series “The Real Has Come!”. This time, the actress once again takes on a villainous character, though without her prior seductiveness. In particular, Cha Joo Young assumes the role of Jang Se Jin in “The Real Has Come!”, who was born poor yet holds the ambition to marry into a rich family.
In the end, since she is a gorgeous, talented, and ambitious secretary, this character managed to become the ideal bride in the eyes of the male lead’s grandmother.

As of the moment, it can be seen that Jang Se Jin will be the main antagonist of “The Real Has Come”. Compared to her role in “The Glory”, Jang Se Jin is also full of ambition, albeit much more cunning and dangerous. This character also requires more internal acting since Jang Se Jin does not often show her emotions. That’s why the role poses a big challenge for Cha Joo Young, seeing that her previous character, Choi Hye Jeong, is more explosive and transparent.
So far, according to viewers, Cha Joo Young is struggling in her completely different new role. In particular, the actress has received complaints for her exaggerated expressions and ill-fitted tone, with netizens claiming that they find Cha Joo Young’s Se Jin more exhausted than calculating.
Below are some comments from audiences:
- Cha Joo Young is making me doubt if I should watch this long series? I don’t know why, but her face and voice can get annoying and frustrating!
- I think she is more suited for roles like Choi Hye Jeong in “The Glory”, who is always screaming, a bit crazy and transparent about her motives. She just seems so ill-fitted for Jang Se Jin.
- Cha Joo Young portrayed an exhausted Jang Se Jin instead of calculating… I don’t think this is a good casting decision
