The story of Kim So-yong, a heavyweight possessed by the soul of Jang Bong-hwan, a bluffing man living in modern times, is told in tvN's "Mr. Queen," a fusion historical comedy-drama that ranks second in the weekly Netflix broadcast/drama rankings in the third week of March 2023.

After appearing in two KBS daily dramas and weekend dramas, she was cast in the tvN Saturday-Sunday serial "Mr. Queen" Jo Hwa-jin. Seol In-ah, the actress, climbed one step at a time, never tiring.

Seol In-ah played Jo Hwa-jin in "Mr. Queen," displaying great character psychology descriptions and emotional line changes, earning praise from many and revealing a fresh look. Because she was the only one who had to provide a tragic performance amid the funny characters, he was able to achieve a more balanced sense.

Jo Hwa-jin is a person who did not hesitate to become a "villain" for the sake of love in a palace full of plans and schemes. She became enraged with jealousy and became evil in the second half of the drama. Nonetheless, the manner in which she thought about her looks, awakened, and stated that she would find herself was bad in action, but she was also maybe the purest person.

Despite initial disagreement over history, the drama gradually grew in popularity and acquired “end-of-the-day beauty.” "As an actor, I tried to concentrate more on shooting with a heavy heart," she explained. It was my first historical play in a long time, so I was scared and stressed, but it was a good time. "I think I was able to act more comfortably than I imagined since I had a fantastic relationship with the actors, crew, and director," she stated, expressing her enthusiasm for the project.

"There's a lot to learn," says actress Seol In-ah. What kind of person is she?

1. Who is Seol In-ah?

When I was in sixth grade, I saw the movie "Shawshank Redemption" with my father and thought, "I want to be on TV like this." "My father advised me that I should know what I wanted to do to the finish," Seol In-ah explained, “so I prepared for the acting in earnest.”

In her second year of middle school, Seol In-ah joined an entertainment agency as an idol trainee. Originally, she aspired to be an actress, but after becoming a singer, she began acting on the recommendation of the company that challenging an actor could be a faster approach.

This was due to her belief that a singer could act and an actor could sing. But, due to various internal reasons and rigorous management requirements, everyone had gone and remained alone at the company by the time they were high school seniors.

She became anxious about going to college, so she asked the firm for forgiveness and began preparing for college entrance examinations on her own. Three months before the entrance exams, she learned the foundations of dance from her friends and produced her own dance choreography by integrating hip-hop learned throughout her trainee life, and she graduated from the acting department of Seoul National University of Arts.

She worked as a singing trainee for three years and nine months, and she claims she is not disappointed. She claims that this is because her life experience as the youngest has heightened his senses and that the songs, dances, and acting she learned at this time were ultimately beneficial to her.

2. What is her personality?

Seol In-ah, the entertainment business spokesperson, is dubbed because she resembles a cat with chic and keen eyes. She is described as upbeat and pleasant. She is also a sucker for jokes from her close friends.

It's difficult to tell what kind of work she's doing because the roles she's played in nine dramas in the six years since her debut are all different. They range from friendly smarts (love is beautiful, life is amazing) to cute wicked ladies (powerful woman Dobong-soon).

The pinnacle is supposed to be Jo Hwa-jin in "Mr. Queen." She portrayed Jo Hwa-jin, who was a favorite of Cheoljong (Kim Jung-hyun) and was involved in a love triangle with Kim So-yong (Shin Hye-sun). She was a woman who loved Cheoljong, but she seemed to be "blackened" by jealousy in the middle, and in the end, she became Cheoljong's servant once more.

Seol In-ah, who has played a variety of characters, believes Kim Chung-ah in "Love is Beautiful, Life is Great" is the most comparable to her. "In the play, Kim Chung-ah is a character who is intelligently damaged yet sometimes 'lack,' and I feel the same way," she explained. "Despite her perfectionist demeanor, she is very bashful and easy-going in front of comfortable people," she explained.

4. Interview related to ‘Mr. Queen’

Q. What do you believe is the most enjoyable aspect of acting?

I sense a rush when emotions contact me and sincerity when I perform when dealing with another individual. In 2018, I was filming KBS 1TV's daily drama "Sunny Future." I felt that thrill for the first time in my life when I hugged and cried with my mother, Yoon Bok-in.

 

Q. What would you say if you could divulge your own stress reliever?

I've lived in Suwon, Gyeonggi-do for a long time, therefore I'm familiar with a unique treasure. Julie, it's fun to go for a walk in a deserted area with your dog. I enjoy doing puzzles as well. Jeonghwa, who recently appeared in "Mr. Queen," gave me a poetry book as a gift, and I'm devouring it.


Q. You played love numerous times in the drama. Do you wish to be in a relationship?

When it comes to relationships, I'm the compassionate sort, so I'm 25% with Jo Hwa-jin, who sacrificed everything for Cheol-jong. In the end and end, I believe I'm "gi." I hope that getting married and starting a family will be the highlight of my life.

 

Q. What do you have planned for this year?

I'll work hard to give you my best. The next work has not yet been decided, but we will try our best in the works that we will be given, so I hope you enjoy it.
