Pyo Ye-jin "'Model Taxi 2' looks more professional than Season 1"
Recently, I met actress Pyo Ye-jin, who finished SBS's 'Model Taxi 2' and tvN's 'Youth's Tale', at a cafe in Nonhyeon-dong, Seoul. 'Model Taxi 2' is a private revenge drama in which the mysterious taxi company Rainbow Transportation and taxi driver Kim Do-gi (played by Lee Je-hoon) complete revenge on behalf of wronged victims. Pyo Ye-jin plays the role of Ang Eun, a hacker and employee in the accounting department of Rainbow Transportation. . 'A Tale of Youth' is a romance that tells the story of Crown Prince Lee Hwan (played by Park Hyeong-sik), who is under a mysterious curse, and Min Jae-i (played by Jeon So-ni), a genius girl who is singled out as the culprit of a family murder case overnight. Pyo Ye-jin plays the role of Garam, Min Jae-i's servant. I took on the role.
Pyo Ye-jin experienced a seasonal drama for the first time with 'Model Taxi 2'. He said, "Because the cast passed on as is, the strong acting chemistry was more powerful. Since it was an extension of Season 1, it was easy for the actors to act. When I received the script for Part 1 of Season 2, I felt like I had received Part 17 of Season 1. “I read it naturally,” he said. He also boasted, "Now, we have chemistry on our own without having to guess or talk to each other in advance. We accept each other no matter what we do. We felt like family. Filming was much more comfortable."
In Season 1, it was revealed that Ango-eun lost her beloved older sister overnight. An unfortunate incident occurred in which Angoeun, who became a victim of a cyber sex crime, committed suicide. Thanks to the Rainbow Transportation team, Ango-eun was able to get revenge. Pyo Ye-jin said, "Coming into season 2, I thought the character of Go-eun should change a little. In season 1, Go-eun desperately did this to survive the pain caused by her sister, but in season 2, she quit the police force and chose Rainbow Fortune again. So I went in. I thought my sense of duty had grown significantly. I focused on showing a more dependable and professional partner than before. I also prepared the styling to look mature rather than young. All I had to do was resolve Do-gi's (Lee Je-hoon) instructions. Rather, as a reliable partner, I tried to show that I was the first to get things done without even having to say anything,” he explained.
Regarding 'A Tale of Youth', he said, "We filmed it for quite a long time, almost a year, and although it's been a while since we started filming, it seems like more has passed. It's a character I liked a lot, so I feel regretful." About 'Model Taxi 2', "It was good just to be doing season 2. I had vague expectations when I heard that season 2 was going to be happening. It felt like I was going back to where I was supposed to be. It's amazing that it ended so well. I am repaying the viewers who loved me. “I went into it with that in mind, but I was even more grateful that they liked it more than I expected,” he said.
Pyo Ye-jin tried her hand at the historical drama genre with ‘A Tale of Youth’. He said, "I've made special appearances in historical dramas, but this was my first time officially. I've always wanted to try the historical drama genre someday, and if I were to do it, I wanted to do a youth historical drama, and it was nice that it happened to be exactly as I thought." He continued, “When filming a historical drama, I could feel that it was greatly influenced by the environment, and that I was working in a different environment from other clothes.”
