Reminiscing on her role

Kim Hee Sun shares her thoughts about Seo Hye-seung and her husband’s point of view on her character.

“She can talk to a woman at work and build a career for a while. I got married and lived with my husband for 16 years. (Looking at Seo Hye-seung) I thought the situation was very similar to mine. It shouldn’t be, and I’m upset, but I understand.”

She also spills how her character is distinct from her authentic self.

“It was frustrating because it was different from the real me. I had 2,000 opportunities to tell (Jin Yoo-hee’s evil deeds). But, Seo Hye-seung drew a big picture. She is like a sweet potato,’ but with that sweet potato, the refreshing cider can come out later. But in reality, I would have lost my mind.”

Moreover, she recalls the part when she expresses sympathy with Seo Hye-seung.

“I have never had a fight with my husband. Oh, that doesn’t mean my husband cheated on me. They say they’re getting a divorce. For this person and I to be happy, I don’t think it would be helpful for the child to have parents with separate minds. I think so too.”

She also considers her own marriage an amazing feat.

“I’ve been married for 16 years, so my husband he’s one of the men I’ve met for the longest time. Every day I break the Guinness record of my life.””

Also, ‘Remarriage and Desires’ is her first Netflix drama.

“As OTT works are receiving a lot of attention, I also want to try it once.”

“The roles that Korean actresses, especially those in their mid-40s, can play have become more diverse. I’m really grateful.”

“As the times change, foreign viewers, including domestic viewers, and the public have broadened the range of accepting these changes with a good heart. I don’t think my juniors depend on me or do that because I’m not immature, so I’m going to continue to be an immature senior.”
