Actor Uhm Jung-hwa is proving the true value of 'Anbang Queen' with her perfect character ability.

Um Jung-hwa made a splendid return to the small screen in the original Genie TV drama 『My Star』, which first aired on the 18th of last month, playing the role of a top star Bong-ja (= Im Sera), who lost her memory of 25 years overnight. Um Jung-hwa, who left a strong impact from her first appearance with her strong character, cheerfully solved Bong Cheong-ja's funny adaptation to reality, boosting the fun of the play.

Um Jung-hwa, who has shown a wide spectrum of acting in various works across genres, has also brought up a new face in this work and has been performing intensely to meet viewers' expectations from the beginning of the broadcast. This is a look at the history of Um Jung-hwa's unrestricted character transition, which is giving off an irreplaceable presence in each work.




Um Jung-hwa delivered a warm resonance by emotionally portraying her friendship and loyalty with her friend of 30 years, Jung Eun-hee (Lee Jung-eun), as Ko Mi-ran, the first love of all who returned to Pureung Village in Jeju in the tvN drama "Our Blues", which aired in 2022. The conflict between old friends and delicate acting that captures subtle emotional lines gave viewers a heavy empathy and proved their deep experience as an actor and human charm at the same time.

In JTBC 'Doctor Cha Jung-sook', which caused a syndrome-class craze, she played the role of a title role as Cha Jung-sook, a 20-year housewife who became a first-year resident, and received a lot of love from viewers throughout the broadcast. Cha Jung-sook's change of finding true happiness and achieving remarkable growth beyond the locked-down framework brought laughter and emotion to many people at the same time. Uhm Jung-hwa kept the center of the play with a brilliant realistic empathy performance with skillful level control, revealing the power of 'Trusting Actor'.

Eom Jung-hwa, who returned to her home room two years after 'Dr. Cha Jung-sook', showed another new transformation as a volunteer character with pure and lovely charm. It comically and lovingly captured episodes of left-handedness in the process of adapting to reality while losing memory, giving viewers a big laugh. In particular, the unique pleasant energy and life-oriented acting brought the character to life, and it captivated the small screen at once with its lovely yet friendly charm. As such, Um Jung-hwa, who freely absorbs characters from human to romantic comedy genres and provides empathy and healing, is expected to show a new appearance through this 'My Star'.




Meanwhile 'My Golden Star' airs every Monday and Tuesday at 10 p.m. on the channel ENA. Immediately after the actual broadcast, it will be released exclusively on KT Genie TV for free, and OTT will be available through TVing.
