Song Ha Yoon’s interview for Marry My Husband
In an exclusive chat with us, the rising actress talked about deciding to take on such a tricky character as well as reading the original work for a better understanding of Jeong Soomin. Song Ha Yoon further reveals the kind of roles she would take after Marry My Husband. Read the full interview below.
What are some differences you noticed while working on Marry My Husband compared to its webtoon?
While analyzing the character, I looked up the original Marry My Husband. In the drama, Jeong Soomin is three-dimensional as the narrative progresses, so I tried to keep her acting as simple as possible to capture the feel of the original, and her three-dimensionality in the drama to stand out through styling.
Playing a character that people are bound to dislike is a tough choice. Why did you decide to accept the role of Jeong Soomin and what would you like to say to viewers about her?
I've been playing a lot of good roles, so I longed for a new character, then I came across the script for Marry My Husband, which was really interesting. Jeong Soomin is a realistic character who can be seen in our academic and social lives, so I think viewers can relate to her more. Also, Jeong Soomin has many different faces, from lovely to provocative.
So I thought I could use my existing good image to my advantage, and I was able to challenge myself with a role where the sense of betrayal is felt more because she is familiar.
What do you think Jeong Soomin would change if she was sent to the past instead of Yang Jiwon? What would you personally do differently if you were sent instead?
Jeong Soomin would do the same thing even if she could go back in time. She is a character with many deficiencies, so I personally hope that she overcomes them and makes wise choices to stay healthy.
What is your off-screen chemistry like with Park Min Young and Lee Yi Kyung? Do you think Jeong Soomin and Park Minhwan are best for each other?
Marry My Husband has a special meaning for all the actors, so they prepared hard and acted as if they were the characters themselves. Jeong Soomin is a character who doesn't know much about love, so I think she's been struggling with herself from the past, so I think she's best suited to be alone
What roles are you aiming for in your acting career and what kind of story would you like to take on next?
I'd love to do a comedy, a really sad movie that makes people's emotions explode, or a genius or hacker character who can easily work with astronomical numbers.
