"Perfect Marriage Revenge" Sung Hoon Reveals His Transformation into a Perfect Man
MBC's new Friday-Saturday drama My Dearest premiered on August 4th. It is a human history melodrama that depicts the love of separated lovers and the people's resilience amid the devastation of the Korean War. The drama brings together talented actors such as Namkoong Min (playing the role of Lee Jang Hyun), Ahn Eun Jin (playing Yoo Gil Chae), Lee Hak Joo (playing Nam Yeon Jun), and Lee Da In (playing Kyung Eun Ae), as well as a trustworthy production team, heralding the birth of a grand-scale historical drama following MBC's prestigious sageuk tradition.
Lee Da In takes on the role of Kyung Eun Ae, Nam Yeon Jun's fiancee and Yoo Gil Chae's closest friend. Kyung Eun Ae is a wise and compassionate woman who always sees the brighter side of the world. Despite the turmoil of war, she remains resolute and firm. From the first winter shoot in 2022 to spring and summer shoots in 2023, Lee Da In has been with My Dearest for three seasons. Let's learn more about the drama, her character Kyung Eun Ae, and her efforts to portray the role.
"I couldn't stop reading the well-crafted script of My Dearest"
When asked why she decided to join My Dearest, Lee Da In immediately mentioned the script. She said, "First, I remember getting lost in the well-crafted script while reading it. As I read more, I became increasingly excited and thrilled. The thought of becoming a part of this work captivated my heart."
Warm yet resilient character Kyung Eun Ae: "I put effort to show her not just as a dark character"
Regarding her role as Kyung Eun Ae, Lee Da In explained, "She is always compassionate, kind, and warm-hearted, but internally, she is a strong character. As a wise woman, she always maintains composure, but she also has unexpected and adorable aspects that may attract viewers with a different charm amidst the war."
Portraying Kyung Eun Ae, a character with warmth, cuteness, resilience, and unpredictability, required a lot of contemplation from Lee Da In. She said, "Kyung Eun Ae maintains her calm demeanor, but to avoid appearing too bright or overly dark, I paid great attention to expressing her subtle and composed personality while highlighting her warm and calm nature."
"I was thrilled while reading the love scenes of Namkoong Min and Ahn Eun Jin in the script"
When asked about the highlights of My Dearest, Lee Da In said, "Personally, while reading the script, I was thrilled by the scenes between Gil Chae and Jang Hyun. The two actors' performances in those scenes were delightful, just as I had expected and imagined, making me look forward to how they will be portrayed on screen." She added, "The growth of the women as they face the hardships of war and evacuation is also an important point to watch."
Moreover, she encouraged viewers to tune in to My Dearest by praising the solid script, beautiful cinematography, and the stellar performances of the reliable actors. With her deep love and passion for the drama, Lee Da In's appearance in My Dearest is highly anticipated. MBC's new Friday-Saturday drama My Dearest will premiere on August 4th at 9:50 PM KST.
