Actor Jang Yoon-joo (45) opened a new chapter as a bad girl.

Genie TV's original 『Good Woman Buscemi" (played by Hyun Kyu-ri, directed by Park Yoo-young) is a crime romance drama in which a female bodyguard with a dirt spoon who dreams of a life reset and has a contractual marriage with the chairman of a time-limited conglomerate has to change his status and survive for three months to avoid those seeking a huge legacy. Jang Yoon-joo surprised viewers by playing the final villain in the play, Ga Sun-young, by showing off an all-time villain that has never been seen before. Thanks to Jang Yoon-ju's performance, Good Woman Buscemi ended with a high viewer rating of 7.1 percent. (National standard for Nielsen Korea paid households)

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. "

Even Jang tried to express Ga Sun-young's character by wearing luxury costumes in the play. Therefore "In luxury brands, will the drama be released in the second half??They don't really sponsor the door. But our stylist bought the Chanel tweed that Jenny wore in the commercial. 'Let's wear that in the first episode!He said, `We matched the satin blouse together.' Jang Yoon-ju said, "I mixed my outfits with the stylist's outfits, and I bought several because I love scarves. I bought the items of all the people I've filmed so far, and all the scarves worn by Ga Sun-young are in my collection. The most expensive was the Hermes scarf, and could you lend the clerk ' that scarf?The scarf that said ' is also mine. It is a flower-patterned scarf that can look different depending on how you do it, and it must have been a Gucci product. The director also entrusted me with Ga Sun-young's costume, and I wanted to take it well in that part. Nevertheless, I didn't wear a costume that clearly revealed my body line. It could feel like high fashion, so I chose the costume considering the professional, social environment, and professors of theater and film."

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.'

For Jang Yoon-ju, 'Busemi' became an unforgettable work. He recalls the times when he tried to love, understand, and embrace this woman as he took on the role of "Sunyoung". And I asked if all the works were successful even if they were remembered only one scene or line from someone's perspective. Some works seem to leave only one clip in their head, even though 16 episodes, 12 episodes, or movies are all forgotten. I'd be so happy if I could stay in the hearts of the viewers" he said.
