Han Chae-ah revealed the reason why she appeared on 'Flower Scholar's Love Story'.
On the 15th, an online production presentation for SBS' new Monday-Tuesday drama 'Flower Scholar's Lover' was held. Director Kim Jung-min and actors Shin Ye-eun, Ryeowoon, Kang Hoon, Jeong Geon-ju, Oh Man-seok, and Han Chae-ah attended.
Shin Ye-eun was the youngest daughter of a wealthy noble family, but after becoming the head of the household, she took on the role of Yoon Dan-oh, who runs the Summer Palace, a guest house that provides rented rooms to scholars from all over to prepare for the civil service examination. Ryeowoon played the role of Kang San, a martial arts student who hides a subtle kindness behind his harsh appearance. Kang Hoon played Kim Si-yeol, a liberal arts student with a typical Korean style who likes to play. Jeong Geon-joo appears as Jeong Yoo-ha, a person with a delicate personality who is sensitive to the feelings of others.
Jang Tae-hwa, played by Oh Man-seok, is a Hanseongbu judge and the actual owner of Buyeonggak, and is tracking down Lee Seol, a descendant of the deceased. Han Chae-ah played the role of Hwaryeong, the guardian of Buyeonggak.
Han Chae-ah said, “There is a charm that comes from historical dramas. I like the heaviness of the lines, things like that. In it, Hwaryeong's role initially feels like a 'strong character'. “As we move into the mid to late stages, Hwaryeong’s secret is revealed, and I thought it would be fun to act,” he said. When asked if she still maintains her beauty even in her 40s, Han Chae-ah laughed and said, “Please lose your 40s.”
When asked about the process of preparing for the character, Han Chae-ah said, "I can't be as pretty as a flower, but as time goes by according to my age, I thought about how I would look pretty as Hwaryeong. “I exercised hard, took good care of myself, and took nutritional supplements,” he said with a laugh.
'Kkotseonbi Romance' is a refreshing, mysterious, close-knit romance created by four youths, Yoon Dan-oh, the owner of Ewhawon, a boarding house that breaks stereotypes, and the trio of boarders, Kkotseonbi, who harbors secrets. It will be announced for the first time at 10 pm on the 20th.
