Han Ye Ri passionately makes a comeback with a tenacious character in Hometown.
Hometown (directed by Hyun Seok Park and written by Joo Jin) is a 1999 mystery thriller drama about detective Choi Hyung In as he investigates a series of murders.
Detective Choi (Yoo Jae Myung) then confronts the world’s worst terrorist, Jo Kyung-ho (Uhm Tae Goo). While Jo Jung Hyeon (Han Ye Ri) probes her niece’s disappearance.
As Han Ye Ri wears basic clothing, she flawlessly transforms herself into Jo Jung Hyun. She appears not only as responsible for her family’s survival but also with complex character development.
The actress showed a profound affection for her latest work.
“I liked the script, and I was attracted to the attractive characters and story structure, and I was curious about the mystery thriller.”
She also disclosed information about the role she will portray, Jo Jung-hyun.
“A character that grows through efforts to find a loved one. The charm of Jo Jung-hyun is not giving up until the end.”
While bridging gaps with her unique and dense acting, the actress intends to reveal the mysteries hidden in the inexplicable incident that unfolds in a town and the ensuing catastrophes.
Viewers will undoubtedly pay attention to the dramatic tension of Jo Jung Hyun. Likewise, she is the protagonist who propels the plot forward as she confronts the puzzling events behind her niece’s abduction.
Han Ye Ri is certainly tested in her first genre with Hometown. It raises hopes for the elegance of her upcoming thriller drama.
Hometown’s cast overwhelming synergy
The acting capability of the dependable actors, such as Yoo Jae Myung, Han Ye Ri, Uhm Tae Goo, and Lee Re, is one of the show’s main compelling features.
To begin, Yoo Jae Myung serves as the story’s primary narrator. He displays not just the imposing charm of a detective with a narrative, but also deep interior acting.
Following that, Han Ye Ri states that she is the younger sister of a terrorist and it subsequently piques her interest.
Meanwhile, Uhm Tae Goo foretells the emergence of a powerful character and clearly boosts anticipation.
Finally, Lee Re is a pivotal figure who holds a key to the mystery and will flaunt her acting talent and suction strength.
The chemistry between the drama’s formidable actors is heightened with director Park Hyun Seok.
Intense Staging of Director Park Hyun Seok
Director Park Hyun Seok, who earned critical acclaim for his work on Secret Forest 2, improves immersion in Hometown with a meticulous composition and powerful staging.
All parts of the previously released highlight video were in perfect harmony, enhancing interest in the show.
The angle that dramatically reversed the top and bottom and the unexplained pattern that appeared to be scrawled in red blood.
Also, the shape of an unidentified woman all demonstrated the distinct hues of Hometown heightening anticipation.
As such, the standard was raised because of the spooky mood with supernatural components for thriller fans to love.
Hometown’s Main cast first-ever reunion
The main cast of Hometown attended the production presentation, revealing that they had never filmed together before.
Indeed, there are a few situations in which they all appear together, and their appearances can be counted.
Uhm Tae Goo also shared insights about her daughter in the drama during the event. It’s actually the first time he met his daughter, portrayed by Lee Re since the first script reading.
The first episode of Hometown centers around a tragic murder and a strange disappearance in Saju-si, a little town in Gyeongsangnam-do.
Above all, these events are expected to pique curiosity further as they unfold comprehensively from the perspectives of Choi Hyung In, Jo Jung Hyun, and Jo Kyung Ho.
Additionally, the production team provided a sneak peek at what will occur in the first episode.
“In the first episode, there was not a single three-shot of Yoo Jae-myung, Han Ye Ri, and Uhm Tae Goo. But even if you don’t see each other, you will feel as if you are together. You will be amazed at the immersion that Yoo Jae Myung, Han Ye Ri, and Uhm Tae Goo create with their solid acting skills. You can look forward to the untact synergy of the three.“
Hometown premieres on September 22 via tvN. Global fans can watch on iQiyi.
