Moon So-ri boasted of working with Kim Hee-ae in 'Queen Maker'.
On the 11th, a production presentation for the Netflix series 'Queen Maker' was held at CGV Yongsan I'Park Mall on Hangang-daero, Yongsan-gu, Seoul. Director Oh Jin-seok and actors Kim Hee-ae, Moon So-ri, Ryu Soo-young, and Seo Yi-sook attended.
Kim Hee-ae played the role of Hwang Do-hee, former head of Eunsung Group's future strategic planning office and current head of Seoul mayoral candidate Oh Kyung-sook's camp. Moon So-ri played the role of Oh Kyeong-sook, the 18th Seoul city council member and labor and human rights lawyer who is now an independent Seoul mayoral candidate. Ryu Soo-young played Baek Jae-min, a national announcer, former chairman of the Green People Foundation, and Seoul mayoral candidate of the Republican Party of Korea. Seo Yi-sook appears as Son Young-sim, the chairman of Eunsung Group.
Kim Hee-ae and Moon So-ri work together for the first time in this work. Moon So-ri said, "I've never worked with a senior before, so I didn't know how to approach him. Since we were in the same boat, I closed my eyes and approached him. After thinking about it for half a day, I said, 'Senior, would you like to eat together?' “At first, I was worried that we should work together as one and move forward well, but at some point, when I looked into my senior’s eyes, I realized that there was a moment in the play where we fit together like Hwang Do-hee and Oh Gyeong-sook.”
Kim Hee-ae said, “Mr. Moon So-ri has a world of his own that cannot be accessed through acting. Perhaps because of my experience as a director, I have an eye for the whole while actors only see themselves. At first, their roles are conflicting and they even swear each other. “I think that’s why I was more careful,” he said. He added, “I can definitely say that Moon So-ri is the best in Korea for the role of Oh Kyung-sook. no. It's the best in the whole world. Oh Gyeong-sook can seem light and comical, so if she doesn't keep the balance, there's a risk of it becoming fake. As expected, he did it. So I thought it was ‘Moonsori, Moonsori’. I can't imagine anyone else playing Oh Kyung-sook. “It is the first on Earth and in space,” he praised. Moon So-ri was embarrassed and said, “You shouldn’t expect too much.”
'Queen Maker' is a Netflix series that depicts the story of Hwang Do-hee, a genius in image making and who controlled the strategic planning office of a large corporation, as she jumps into the election campaign to make Oh Kyung-sook, a human rights lawyer who has been called the rhino of justice and lived like a weed, the mayor of Seoul. It will be released on the 14th.
