Actor Jang Yoon-joo (45) expressed her feelings about playing a bad girl.

Jang Yoon-joo met with Sports Chosun at a cafe in Gangnam-gu, Seoul on the afternoon of the 6th and had an interview with the end of the original Genie TV 'Good Woman Buscemi' (played by Hyun Kyu-ri, directed by Park Yoo-young). Jang Yoon-ju said, "Actually, as soon as we finished filming, everyone was like, 'What's wrong with him?' Let's go to Bali!cried ' It meant to go well, but even before we started, I was wondering if it was okay to go to Bali like that, but my heart was also like 'Let's go to Bali!It was ' but I couldn't shout and stayed quiet. Every time I looked at the ratings, there was a mess. It's never been like this, and everyone liked it because it was a big event. But I'm a little cautious, and I've just been guarding 'Woah' because I'm not happy with it.'"

Jang Yun-ju equipped the villain's face through 'Busemi' and opened a new way for acting. However, he hesitated to appear after receiving the offer. Jang Yoon-ju said, "When I received the script, I had an impact on the first and second parts. From the first episode 'Youngran, let's marry me 'What?I enjoyed watching it because I was absorbed in it. Nevertheless, I wondered if I could play the character Ga Sun-young. I've had a few villain-like characters before, but I can do my best as far as I can, and I'll do it if I can enjoy it, but I can't do everything just because I'm in. I don't even start if I can't be persistent because of my personality, so I refused when the villain came in, but this time, the director asked me to meet him, so I met him."




Jang Yoon-ju then said, "'Wouldn't the kindergarten director be better than the director?' but the director said he saw me on the fashion show stage in my early 20s. At that time, the director had a part-time job filming and editing fashion show videos. He and I were in our 20s at that time, and when he saw me, he said he remembered 'really charismatic' And in the movie I filmed last year called 'Minimal Goodwill', Ga Sun-young thought Jang Yoon-ju would do well. In fact, broadcasters and production companies said they were puzzled. 'Will it be okay?While ' Because I have a comical image. However, the director kept persuading me that it would be possible if it was him, and I thought a lot about whether I could lie down and hesitated, so I heard from the director what he thought of Ga Sun-young. The director also wrote and sent a detailed story about Ga Sun-young's warrior and character before the second half of the script came out. While I was thinking about it, I thought 'If it's this person, I can trust him and go' so I did it. "If you decide to do it after a lot of thought, it's a perfectionist style that you persistently bite into from then on, and I really worked hard to prepare it. "

Jang Yoon-joo talked to her rival Jeon Yeo-bin on the phone for two hours to talk about the burden of her role. Jang Yoon-ju said "I met Yeo-bin in the 1st and 2nd episodes, and after that, I met him again in the 10th episode after not being there for a while. I played a big role for the first time before filming, so I wondered if I was doing well in the 10th part even though I was communicating with the director like crazy." At the same time, the scene where Yeo Bin and I were together became burdensome, so we made a long call. Yeobin is such a positive friend that there must be a way for her sister to do Ga Sun-young until the 10th part. He also said, 'Wouldn't it be good to trust that and go?' "Actually, I think Yeobin is a senior who has built more filmography than I am, so I think I was able to finish it by exchanging such stories."

After completing so fiercely, Ga Sun-young became Jang Yoon-ju's life character. Jang Yun-ju said "All the gods were amazing faces. It was scary even to me. While watching the drama, 'Is that kind of face to me?'I saw it while doing it.'" When I was acting, I thought this person was a psychopath and didn't do it. I didn't think he was much different from me. We also killed someone a lot in our hearts. I think I've also watched a lot of documentaries because I'm peaceful at home and there's no such thing as the wind and waves of my life. When I needed a real stimulus, I even looked for a real documentary."




He explained that it felt real, especially when his emotions became intense. Xuanzhu "I'm good at hitting my younger brother in the scene." My hands hurt. I thought I had to hit him really hard at the first take, but he hit me too hard. So I felt so sorry when I saw his face that he was really sick, so I made an NG. Even so, as he became emotional, I thought I should add 'CX' in the back, but I couldn't go out because this was a broadcast. I actually did more. When filming, 'CX' comes out without even realizing it. It's not in the lines, but there's something that comes out naturally, so the director burst out laughing and said, `He's good at hitting, but he's also good at swearing.'

The family's response was also realistic. Jang Yoon-ju said "When my mom called me, she said 'Oh my gosh, I'm scared' and 'How can you kill a person like that at the end?'" As if I really killed him. My husband is cool in that area, so I'm like 'How do you feel? Did I do well? If I say ', it's okay. It's good. And then 'Honey! Why did you do that?make a joke that is as good as ' I haven't seen my daughter because she's not 15 yet. I wonder if I can see it later when I grow up, but my mom killed me too much, so I laughed.
