Cho Bo-ah Discusses Her Husband and Career in Netflix's 'Dear Hongrang'

Actress Cho Bo-ah recently opened up about her husband.

On the 19th, an interview with Cho Bo-ah, who plays the role of Jae-yi in Netflix's 'Dear Hongrang,' was held at a café in Jongno-gu, Seoul. Contrary to the calm demeanor she displayed during the production presentation, Cho Bo-ah greeted the press with a bright and lovely smile.

'Dear Hongrang' is a mystery melodrama set in the Joseon era, revolving around Hong-rang (played by Lee Jae-wook), the son of the largest merchant group who returns after 12 years with no memory, and his half-sister Jae-yi (played by Cho Bo-ah), who is the only one suspicious of his true identity. The drama explores the mysterious emotions that develop between them.

During the interview, Cho Bo-ah shared, "My husband is very understanding about romantic scenes. He completely separates my work life from my personal life, and I receive a lot of support from him."

She added, "Nothing has drastically changed since getting married. Everything flows naturally and comfortably. I feel grateful for the present and enjoy a stable life."

Cho Bo-ah announced her marriage to a non-celebrity partner last October.

She also reflected, "In my 20s, I was very ambitious and hard on myself. Now in my 30s, I've tried to let go a bit. I've realized that not all ambitions are fulfilled, so I strive to approach things more leisurely."

According to Netflix's Tudum website on the 21st, 'Dear Hongrang' ranked 6th in the global top 10 non-English TV shows, with 2.2 million views (calculated by dividing viewing hours by the total runtime of the show) within three days of its release (May 16-18). Additionally, it entered the top 10 in 12 countries worldwide.
