The STUDIO X+U drama `Goodwill Competition' ended on the 6th, which depicts a mystery surrounding the fierce competition for entrance exams and the mysterious death of his father, who was a member of the College Scholastic Ability Test (CSAT) at the top 1% Chaehwa Girls' High School in Korea. Not only in Korea but also abroad, it attracted attention and was recognized for its workability and completeness.
Kang Hye-won left an intense presence in the play as Joo Ye-ri, the gossip queen of Chaehwa Girls' High School. Joo Ye-ri is a strategic character who uses appearance as a weapon rather than grades. He is a person who thoroughly exploits the other's weaknesses while continuing a false double life to hide his or her own feelings. In particular, the tension of the play was maximized by acting that revealed toxic eyes when in crisis even though he maintained a calculating aspect and poker face.
Kang Hye-won proved her wider acting spectrum through this work. The appearance and luxury goods that Joo Ye-ri is obsessed with were part of her survival instinct, not just vanity, and she expressed such a person in depth, giving viewers a sense of immersion. Although he mocked the opponent with an infinitely relaxed attitude, he showed a creepy posture change when his weaknesses were revealed, highlighting the three-dimensional aspect of the character.
Kang Hye-won, who has grown further as an actor through this goodwill competition, expressed her feelings at the end of the show through her agency. He "From the first time I read the script, the genre and the story were very interesting. Thanks to the director, the writer, the staff, and the actors I played with, I was able to finish it safely. It was a valuable piece that I was able to learn and experience a lot, and I also deeply appreciate the viewers."
Then "Ju Yeri was not an easy character to play. I tried to understand why she had to make this choice, and as I was filming, I felt more and more affectionate feelings." Finally "This work became a new challenge and turning point for me. I'll come back with a better performance in the future," he said with determination.
Expectations are rising for what kind of transformation Kang Hye-won will make in the future, who has solidified her presence through 'good faith competition'.
