‘Flower Scholar’s Lover’ Shin Ye-eun “I appeared because I wanted to be loved”


Shin Ye-eun revealed the reason why she decided to appear on ‘Flower Senior’s Romantic History’.

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 played the role of Yoon Dan-oh, who runs the Summer Palace, a guesthouse 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.

Shin Ye-eun said, “When I first saw the work, I ended up watching up to the fourth part. There was a lot to unravel in the many episodes that took place after Part 4, and it was fascinating that all the characters, not just me, were three-dimensional and alive. I also thought that Dano would be loved by many people. “I started with the mindset of ‘let’s get some love,’” he said, explaining the reason for his appearance.

Shin Ye-eun has recently been attracting attention by playing the school days of school violence perpetrator Park Yeon-jin in Netflix's 'The Glory'. Shin Ye-eun, who is in her first historical drama, said, “It was my first time acting in a historical drama, so I approached it cautiously and cautiously. It seems like my mindset has changed from my previous works. Before, I felt burdened, fearful, and calculated, but now I have a little more freedom. I thought a lot about how to create this work. “I started thinking about how to make Dano rather than me,” he said.

Shin Ye-eun said, “Of all the works I’ve done so far, I think Dano is the one that resembles me the most. Dano is so lovely that I don’t even know if I want to be like him. “He adapts well to any environment and his loveliness seems to be somewhere between ‘I resemble him’ and ‘I want to be like him,’” he said with embarrassment. He continued with satisfaction, saying, “I think this is the only space where I can be loved by everyone no matter what I do.”

‘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 harbor secrets. It will be aired for the first time at 10 pm on the 20th.
