The late actor Park Ji-ah played the role of licorice through the posthumous work 'Salon de Holmes'.

Park Ji-ah played the role of Choi Sun-ja in the ENA Monday-Tuesday drama 「Salon de Holmes」 (scripted by Kim Yeon-shin, director Min Jin-ki and Chung Hyeon-nam), which ended with the 10th episode on the 15th.

'Salon de Holmes' is a comic-womance act in which four women, including a full level of reasoning, a former ace detective, an insurance king, and the queen of Alba, punish an apartment villain.




In the play, Park Ji-ah plays Choi Seon-ja, the president of the Women's Association, who is obsessed with madness to protect the house price of the Gwangsan Jugong Apartment. From the first episode, he appeared with a cute visual like the president of the women's association, influencing all events in the apartment complex and drawing enthusiastic sympathy from viewers with his realistic acting.

Choi Seon-ja, wearing colorful tops and pink glasses, went throughout the apartment complex. He showed off his fantastic chemistry while bickering with apartment residents such as Gong Mi-ri (Lee Si-young), Choo Gyeong-ja (Jeong Young-joo), and Jeon Ji-hyun (Nam Ki-ae), giving a good laugh every time.

Unlike his seemingly innocent appearance outside, Choi Sun-ja also poured ruthless vitriol and corporal punishment on his son Tae-hoon (Jang Jae-ho). He played the role of licorice in the last film of his life, portraying his insane obsession with his son with creepy acting, as he was in endless conflict with Tae-hoon, who was not controlled as he wanted, and struggled in agony when he became a murderer beyond the Barbary Man.




Park Ji-ah, who made her debut in the 2002 movie `Coastal Line" and boasted her presence as a famous actor by playing in numerous films such as 'Gidam', 'Gonjiam', 'Gwanghae, Man Who Became King', and 'Good Wife', died in September last year after battling cerebral infarction and became a star in the sky.

In particular, Moon Dong-eun (Song Hye-kyo) played Jung Mi-hee, the mother of the Netflix series 'The Glory' from 2022-2023. He drew a lot of attention when he emerged as a scene-steeler by portraying him as a real-life person who is addicted to alcohol, living in entertainment without knowing his children's school violence.

In another posthumous Netflix series 'Tanggeum', released in May, Min Yeon-ui (Eom Ji-won) performed a powerful performance as a blindly trusted shaman. It delicately expressed the deep resentment and anger of the returnees who have secretly sharpened their swords of revenge toward the Min family, who exterminated their families, and raised viewers' immersion with their unique charisma.




The production team recently released a memorial video for Park Ji-ah. Through a video showing Park Ji-ah's acting life one after another, he tried his best until the end, saying, "An actor who always worked tirelessly for a moment with a humble attitude..." I will keep and remember the name of laughing and crying together on the spot"I honored Park Ji-ah's passion for acting."
