Chun Woo-hee, a reality-based thriller itself

Actress Chun Woo-hee is empathizing with viewers around the world through the Netflix movie 'I Just Dropped My Smartphone.'

'I Just Dropped My Smartphone' is a realistic thriller that tells the story of an ordinary office worker, Inami (played by Cheon Woo-hee), who loses her smartphone containing all her personal information and her entire daily life begins to be threatened.

Since its release on the 17th, it has gained great popularity not only in Korea but also around the world, ranking in the top 10 in the Netflix movie (non-English) category in as many as 34 countries. In particular, according to Flix Patrol, an OTT ranking site, it not only ranks second globally, but also ranks first in a total of 18 countries, including Taiwan, Vietnam, the Philippines, Kuwait, Morocco, and Bolivia.

Woohee Chun, who became the marketer of a startup company, realistically portrayed the scene of office workers who use their smartphones at every moment to do their work. He gained sympathy by naturally expressing the appearance of modern people from waking up in the morning to going to bed after work.

On the other hand, it realistically expressed the polarizing emotions felt by the characters, such as the confusion that an extremely ordinary person faces after becoming a victim of a crime and the hard work of a character trying desperately to save himself from a crisis, increasing the level of immersion in the play. Above all, the way he even shows the trembling of his eyes captured on camera during a close-up of his face is being commented as being beyond admirable and amazing.

In this way, Chun Woo-hee, who showed the face of Cheon, from acting in everyday life to acting in depth of the character's emotions, returns to tvN's new drama 'Benefiting Fraud'. Exuding a variety of charms in a variety of genres, from mystery and thriller to romance and drama, much anticipation is being placed on what he will show in the future.
