Chae Soo Bin Recalls Her The Fabulous Journey
When Netflix released the lead role for the drama, Choi Soo Bin felt excited and really had fun working on each scene.
“I shot it last winter, and it was released a year later. It was a really fun experience.”
The Fabulous where Choi Soo Bin is one of the lead characters topped Netflix in 24 countries. She says:
“I’m grateful to be able to see our work all over the world at the same time. It was amazing to see people who actually recognized me when I went abroad and traveled.”
She also said that she was able to read the drama script without feeling any weight and that this was a major factor in her decision to take the role.
When asked if she has an interest in terms of fashion:
“I like pretty things, cute things. It’s not that there’s anything special about fashion, but I think I got interested because it’s a job where I can’t help but see pretty things.”
While filming the drama, Chae Soo Bin also felt the struggle in terms of the weather condition at that time. However, with her undeniable fighting spirit, she quickly adapts to the situation. Her co-actor Choi Min Ho plays pranks to lighten up the mood and it made their situation and hearts warm.
Since the drama has a touch of a love story, the characters of Chae Soo Bin and Choi Minho feature a kissing scene.
“Luckily, my dad never sees my kissing scene. It’s more unpleasant. (laughs) but my mom and sister enjoyed it.”
Meanwhile, when asked what’s her initial reaction acting alongside Choi Minho:
“He’s known for being passionate. His role as Woo-min is a cynical character so I was curious to see how it would turn out.”
She added that Minho is a genuinely caring person and cares more about others than himself and if given a chance she wants to work with him again.
The actress also admits that the storyline of The Fabulous is well distributed and did not only focus on one character and the result of it was very natural.
The Fabulous seems to have a resemblance to Emily In Paris and Choi Soo Bin was grateful for such acclaim.
Conveying what she looks forward to as she nears her 30s, she relayed being able to meet a few more diverse characters that are different from what she usually plays.
“I’m grateful to build and be accepted as a bright and lovely character. On one hand, I am greedy as a performer and can show to play a different character.”
