The drama Crash Course in Romance, which ranks second on Netflix this week, is a love story about a first-class instructor who became a star at Nokeun-ro Academy, Korea's No. 1 private education center, and a female president of a "national side dish store" who has only recently entered the world. It is also the story of people against the backdrop of the reality of infinite competition hell.

Jeon Do-yeon plays the role of "Nam Heang Seon" a former national handball team member and currently running a side dish store. Nam Haeng-seon, who gave up her position as a national team member for her family, once again seeks to transform herself into a "hot-blooded entrance examination mother" for her family.

ross genres like as dramas, criminal action, and romance. Through her eyes, lines, and words, fantasy-like figures gained actuality that could be observed in real life.

Her acting tone hasn't changed much in the 30 years since her debut. Jeon Do-yeon is an actor who, rather than transforming, draws characters into herself. Jeon Do-yeon's realistic interpretation and expression skills fit the story perfectly. She is, as expected, an actor with a commanding presence. Jeon Do-yeon, who has more than 30 years of acting experience, continues to demonstrate deep acting as his filmography grows.

She had a different perspective when she became the Queen of Cannes with Milyang, as if she had prophesied in advance that she would fall into mannerism. "I just didn't like it," she stated in an interview. I don't like the label people give me, and I don't like thinking that this is my best moment. I still have a lot more to do and haven't done, but why do you think this is the greatest time and what do you think will happen? Jeon Do-yeon no longer exists... I wanted to show you that it is still happening. While people think of an award as a period, I wanted to take a pause and reflect on it while continuing to do what I wanted to do, she said, expressing her passion for acting. 

Yoon Yeo-jung was chosen as Jeon Do-aging yeon's role model. This is because as I become older, I want to be able to accept new things without resistance or limitation. "I'm constantly rooting for you because I'm a fan of Yoon Yeo-jung," she said, displaying her great passion for her senior.

1. Who is Jeon Do-yeon?

She is a South Korean actor and Chungmuro's representative actor. She is known as the "Queen of Cannes." She was named a judge in the competitive section of the Cannes Film Festival in 2014 after winning the Best Actress Award for her film "Milyang." This is the first time a South Korean actor has appeared in a film.

"What would you have done without that actor for the entire Korean film?" film director Bong Joon-ho famously asked Jeon Do-yeon. Filmmaker Kim Sung-soo also referred to Jeon Do-yeon as "Korea's top actor."

She is alleged to have refused to act from the start. Han Seok-gyu, according to director Jang Yoon-hyun, has been evaluating the job correctly even when she accessed it, while Jeon Do-yeon is sleeping in the car every day and vanished when she was cut at the moment. But, when filming Happy End, she stated she realized what kind of actor she wanted to be for the first time. And it is said that work becomes urgent and enjoyable with time. Thus she won an award and peaked as a box office performer, but it was simply a fleeting process and time, and she stated that she wanted to keep working as an actor.

Scenarios are the most significant considerations while picking works. Rather than the storyline, the director chose Miryang and the maid as his two efforts. Jeon Do-yeon also stated that multicasting works are superior to one-top movies. She stated, "I was looking for a film with a large cast. It's preferable to go it alone. She also expressed her true feelings.

She stated, "When I perform, I create an environment in which I say, 'Let's see.' That can be taxing at times, but I want to contribute. I believe I should branch out on my own. So I decided to make a multicasting film. When he appeared in a cameo on Baekdusan Mountain last year, she said she thought, "Oh, it's Jeon Do-yeon." That's how much the audience feels new in the genre," she also said.

2. What is her personality?

During the making of the film, Jeon Do-yeon stated "I'm not content with the easy and comfortable elements of The Handmaid," she says. I'm not scared of breaking or falling. I'm not someone who takes the word "best" lightly. She appears to have a strong spirit of challenge and is not a person who is complacent about easy and easy things, given that he continues to play an atypical part in numerous works.

"I tell my daughter exactly what she can't do," Jeon Do-yeon stated. "I'm not a warm and comfortable mother," she admitted. "I despised it because my mother was strict, but I became that way before I realized it." She went on, "I refuse to tolerate the sobbing and vomiting youngster. She then stopped crying and approached me alone, she explained. “My youngster has never thrown a temper tantrum.”

When asked about the actors' true personalities, Jeon Do-yeon described her as "sensitive and feisty." "It depends on the situation," she explained. She is straightforward and does not carry grudges. If I want to say something, I like to say it right away," she noted. "Some people are terrified, and some people are reasonably comfortable," she added. "When I act, I don't think this is proper, and I tend to convey my view that it would be better to modify things this way."

"I'm a clever person," Jeon Do-yeon added. But, the directors are unaware of their sparkling personalities. The filmmakers didn't believe me no matter how many times I said no, so I believed I had to demonstrate it as a work, so I thought, “I have to endure this period even if I can't do the movie for a long time.”

Jeon Do-yeon was described by the reporter who interviewed her as “an actress who knows how to laugh well, be honest, and communicate her thoughts without hesitation, in a style that is far from arrogant or pretentious.”

3. Jeon Do-yeon's activities (Actress Life)

When she was a senior in high school in 1990, she auditioned for a youth magazine model and went to a magazine to win a prize, and she recognized Jeon Do-yeon's appearance right away, so she debuted in 1990 as a Johnson & Johnson baby lotion model famed for her comment, “Clean.”

She was not recognized at the start of his debut because her acting talents were not exceptional, but with the huge success of access in 1997, she lost her image as a high-teen star and began to be in the spotlight in Chungmuro in earnest.

She has been recognized as a main actor for her acting skills since the 2000s, and no actress has yet been rated to be on par with Jeon Do-yeon in terms of acting skills in a 2015 Dong-A Ilbo power film survey.

Despite her strong performances in "The Contact," "A Promise," and "The Harmonium in My Memory," she garnered positive feedback for her role in "Happy End" in 1999, in which she played a married lady who had an affair with her boyfriend for the first time in her acting career.

According to the "The Shameless" production staff, Jeon Do-yeon became a practice bug, and many responders claimed Jeon Do-yeon's performance in "The Shameless" was the best. Her inebriated acting, in particular, is incredibly authentic, but she did not drink alcohol while filming.

For the first time in 18 years, she returned to the romantic comedy genre in 2023 with the drama "Crash Course in Romance." In its third week of broadcasting, it has achieved a viewership record of more than 9% and is on the increase thanks to love dramas.

4. Interview related to ‘Crash Course in Romance’

In the drama, Jeon Do-yeon, who returned to the romance comedy genre after a lengthy absence, played Nam Haeng-sun, the president of the "National Side Dish Store" and a former national athlete. She has completed a character that only Jeon Do-yeon can express by digesting Nam Haeng-seon's charm, the inner power of the outward river that believes in her choice even when faced with difficulties in life.

"I'm also scared every day because I'm not comfortable with myself, so I'm getting confirmation from the director," Jeon Do-yeon said on this day, revealing a humble side of the romantic comedy genre that she had not seen in a long time. "Maybe I can show you something I've never seen before," she suggests. She resurrected the picture she had forgotten about in this work. She also thanked the other actor, stating, "Due to Jung Kyung-ho, I was able to adjust swiftly to the set."

  

 

Q. When did you realize you wanted to be an actor?

- It was this that allowed me to become an actor, that made me think, "Oh, I'm an actor," and that propelled me to the second stage of my film career. Now I'm attempting to progress from the second to the third stage. The third stage could represent a step forward or a step back. Anything is significant to me.

 

Q. What does "taking a step back" mean?

- I don't want to appear weak, but why isn't there such a thing? "What's the matter with Jeon Do-yeon?" That is a valid question. I want to be a noise-following actor rather than a stable one. Instead of stating, "I'm confident I did well," "Isn't it a touch strange over there?" I hope someone says. I want to be an actor who can constantly discuss such topics.

 

Q. Over the past 20 years, Jeon Do-yeon has been an actor. Was Jeon Do-yeon's perspective on the path to becoming an actress consistent?

- I'm not sure how I'm evolving as an actor. Yet, what is certain is that as time passes, you get more fond of it. I want to picture myself doing nice things all the time, liking my work and actor Jeon Do-yeon, and sustaining myself.

 

Q. The same can be said for the audience. I wish I could keep acting that way. What is the thrill of performing that keeps you going?

- It's not because my acting is enjoyable, but because I adore the situation. I enjoy the process of so many people coming together and making one thing happen. It's always enthralling. How can so many of these people devote themselves so completely to accomplishing a task with one mind? in awe.

Q. Do you still get terrified after all these years of acting?

- At all times.

 

Q. What is your greatest fear?

- I'm worried I'll miss the character without realizing it, so I'm continually wondering if I'm on the right track. There is no correct answer, yet I doubt it reflects the character, so I keep wondering.

 

Q. Do those doubts and concerns lead to conviction?

- There is no guarantee. In the end, an actor is a different person, so how can you be certain about one individual? I'm not even sure who I am. I want to believe what I believe.

 

Q. What hasn't changed throughout time?

- When choosing work, you consider the scenario. The viewpoint may have shifted, yet there is still a fascination with and devotion to good works. A situation with a compelling story. People state that the stuff I've picked so far is not well-known. But if someone has to make and tell a story, and if it's a good story, I want to be a part of it. I have no choice. I'm still not sure what constitutes a good actor. And I don't even consider myself to be a decent actor. Excellent is difficult to define. Yet I'm proud of the road I've taken as an actress. Folks are still talking about the work I did. Even after all these years, "The Little Mermaid" remains a favorite of mine. I refuse to lower my expectations for quality work. I don't want to agree if someone says it's wonderful to work from a different angle than I do. The most important thing when choosing a work should be a story that I can relate to.
