The dazzling performances of leading actresses in K-content are making headlines. Park Bo-young from the tvN drama 'Unknown Seoul' and Im Yoon-ah from the film 'The Devil Came' are the stars in the spotlight. While Park Bo-young captivates the small screen with 'Unknown Seoul,' Im Yoon-ah is set to take over the summer box office with 'The Devil Came.' Im Yoon-ah returns to the screen as Seon-ji in 'The Devil Came,' showcasing her signature charming comedic style and taking on dual roles.
Throughout its airing, 'Unknown Seoul' has maintained top positions in TV-OTT drama buzz and cast popularity rankings, establishing itself as a trending drama. The tvN drama is a romantic growth story about identical twin sisters who swap lives to find true love and life through lies. Park Bo-young garnered significant attention with her dramatic blonde transformation at the show's launch and gained immense popularity with her dual role performance as identical twins.
Just as Park Bo-young shines in 'Unknown Seoul,' Im Yoon-ah is set to make a shocking transformation as Seon-ji in 'The Devil Came.' The film marks Im Yoon-ah's return to the big screen, telling the story of a young man, Gil-gu (played by Ahn Bo-hyun), who takes on an extraordinary part-time job monitoring Seon-ji, who turns into a devil every night. By day, Seon-ji dreams of studying in France and runs a modest bakery, but by night, she transforms into a terrifying devil.
With such a unique character setup, Im Yoon-ah will don a wild hairstyle and striking red outfits, portraying a character unlike any in her filmography. Known for her irreplaceable charm in the 'Confidential Assignment' series and 'Exit,' Im Yoon-ah is expected to deliver her trademark lovely comedic performance in 'The Devil Came.' Additionally, she will showcase distinct acting tones for her dual roles, with a calm and clear voice for daytime Seon-ji and a strong voice, dynamic expressions, and intense laughter for the devil Seon-ji, raising audience expectations.
'The Devil Came' will be released in theaters nationwide on August 13.
