Ahn I-seo Returns as a Villain in New Drama 'Cruel Meeting'

Actress Ahn I-seo is set to make a powerful comeback with a more intense villain character.

Ahn I-seo has been cast in the new drama 'Cruel Meeting' on the global short-form platform DramaBox. 'Cruel Meeting' is a dramatic romance that unfolds as Lee Min-joo (played by Na Hyun-jin), the heir to South Korea's top conglomerate, returns to the country. Her identity is unknown to Choi Young-woong (played by Han Seung-won), the chief secretary who aims for a position in the conglomerate's family. A chance accident with Lee Min-joo leads to conflict and a deadly showdown over the heir's identity.

Ahn I-seo will play Choi Hye-mi, the sister of Choi Young-woong. Choi Hye-mi (played by Ahn I-seo) is the character who first disrupts the engagement meeting. She is a villain who doesn't know how to hide her emotions and exacerbates situations by pushing boundaries. As the engagement meeting, which should be bright and glamorous, turns into a moment where a person's life crumbles, viewers are left wondering how far Choi Hye-mi will go.

Ahn I-seo has showcased her wide acting range in films like 'Seha Byeol' and 'There Is No Heaven', and dramas such as MBC's 'Man Who Sets the Table', 'Woman Who Swallowed the Sun', SBS's 'Goodbye, One Week', and 'Would You Like a Taste?'. She made her mark in the short-form drama world with 'I Will Divorce the Hallyu Star Today', quickly becoming a 'scene-stealer' with her intense presence in fast-paced narratives. Ahn I-seo's new drama 'Cruel Meeting' is available for viewing on the global short-form platform DramaBox.
