Pyo Ye-jin, first historical drama on 10th anniversary of debut

Actress Pyo Ye-jin expressed her feelings about attempting her first historical drama.

On the 1st, the production presentation for tvN's new Monday-Tuesday drama 'Youth's Tale' (written by Jeong Hyeon-jung, directed by Lee Jong-jae) was held online. In attendance were producer Lee Jong-jae, actors Park Hyeong-sik, Jeon So-ni, Pyo Ye-jin, Yoon Jong-seok, and Lee Tae-sun.

On this day, Pyo Ye-jin said, "A historical drama was a genre I really wanted to try someday, and I also wanted to try a youth historical drama. I came here with the right challenge, so I think it was a good start."

He also added, “Rather than looking at the character alone, I tried to preserve relationships with other people,” and added, “I focused on the affectionate and earnest chemistry with Jae-yi (played by Jeon So-ni).”

'Worth of Youth' is a youth salvation romance drama 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 pointed out as the culprit of a family murder case. In the play, Pyo Ye-jin plays the role of Jang Garam, Jae-yi's servant.
