Moon Chae-won revealed that there are times when being a celebrity suits her aptitude and times when it does not.
Recently, I met actress Moon Chae-won, who appeared in the SBS Friday-Saturday drama 'The Law', at a cafe in Sinsa-dong, Seoul. Moon Chae-won played the role of Park Joon-kyung, a former prosecutor and judicial officer. After his mother, caught up in a conspiracy, commits suicide, Jun-kyung becomes a judicial officer and prepares for revenge.
Regarding Park Jun-kyung's character, Moon Chae-won said, "I thought he was a character with little flexibility. In terms of MBTI type, I thought he would not be P between J (planning type) and P (impromptu type). If things don't go according to his plan, he will get stressed out. “It was the same,” he said. He continued, "When I took the MBTI, I didn't get a P. I think I was ISTJ ."
Park Jun-kyung is a cold-hearted yet just a person. Moon Chae-won said, "It's hard to want to be like that in reality, isn't it? There seemed to be an aspect of this role that I respected and wanted to be like. I thought it would be good to try it in the work. I thought it would be good if we fit in well." When asked if filming was fun, Moon Chae-won replied, "I don't really enjoy filming any work. There's pressure to do well, isn't there? It's like doing homework. But it's rewarding when it's expressed the way I thought or turned out well."
When asked if he had any similarities with Park Jun-kyung's character, he said, "I lived my life without knowing that I was a realist. When I acted, I thought I was emotional rather than realistic. I think Jun-kyung is similar in that he is also a realist."
It is said that jobs recommended for Moon Chae-won's MBTI, ISTJ, include accountants, teachers, and civil servants. Moon Chae-won said, "There were no celebrities among the recommended professions. There are some things that suit me well and some things that don't suit me as an actor. It's half and half. My thoughts go back and forth depending on the situation or time. Still, I think I'm doing it because there are parts that suit me." “Before I started acting, I did art because it was fun, so I think it's better for arts and physical education,” he said.
'Law' is a revenge story between 'money salesman' Eun-yong and 'legal technician' Jun-kyung who fight against the cartel of 'Law' and 'Jjen'. It ended on the 11th.
