‘One Big Scandal’ Jeon Do-yeon “I wondered why I couldn’t meet this Rocco” [쿠키인터뷰]

It was a long time since I saw you. She is an ordinary woman who moves forward with a bright smile. She wasn’t a heavy or grim drama, or a figure hiding a huge story. tvN’s ‘One Big Scandal’ Nam Haeng-seon is a work in which actress Jeon Do-yeon’s everyday face stands out. She also revealed something she had forgotten about Jeon Do-yeon, who lived a bold life. The first romantic comedy drama in 17 years (Loco). Jeon Do-yeon comfortably enjoyed happiness. “Will there be more bright works like this in the future?” Jeon Do-yeon, whom we met at a cafe in Hapjeong-dong, Seoul on the 6th, smiled brightly.

It took 7 months to live on the Southbound Line. Throughout the filming, Jeon Do-yeon felt what it was like to be loved. As much as she was attached to everyone, the closer she got to the end, the more her sadness came. It was like being separated from her family. “All the actors asked me if I couldn’t continue filming like a soap opera instead of episode 16. I never thought I would be loved this much.” Looking back at those who were with them, a calm smile quickly appeared on their faces. The romantic comedy, which he took on after a long time, gave him extraordinary happiness.

“I wanted to do something like this, but I haven’t been in for a long time. When the public thinks of Jeon Do-yeon, they think of heavy and dark images or genres. Perhaps they wanted my acquaintances to see a bright and upbeat image of me through my work, and they were really happy to see a good response through ‘One Hit Scandal’. I guess even I wanted to see myself like that. While monitoring the drama, ‘Was my smile so pretty?’ I wanted to. haha.”

I wasn’t sure at first. I was worried that the far-flung southbound line would degenerate into a nuisance character. But even so, she wanted to send infinite support to Seon Nam-haeng. Giving up the life he wanted and living his life as if he were the best seemed cool. Viewers also responded to the positive energy of the work, including the southern route. Jeon Do-yeon was just proud to see that the ratings had quadrupled since the first episode. “It felt like a response saying, ‘You’re not wrong, you did a good job’.” What Jeon Do-yeon especially put her heart into was the story of the family at the side dish store. It is also because, like the southern line, the family is the driving force. I felt a sense of empathy and melted more into the play.

“I felt like I felt what it was like to be healed again. (Male) My younger brother Jae-woo (Oh Eui-shik), my friends Yeong-ju (Lee Bongnyeon) and Hae-yi (Noh Yun-seo), and Chil-chi (Jung Kyung-ho) were all good. The director said that he put his heart and soul into casting so that the actors can show their full potential. We also felt that our sincerity was connected several times while filming. Jung Kyung-ho treats me so well that it was burdensome at first. haha. From a certain point on, he accepted me as a guest and I was able to enjoy acting.”

‘One Hit Scandal’ was a drama that anyone could comfortably watch. Families reacted most enthusiastically to everyday content that was not cruel or depressing. The public also sent hot support. “I thought after reading the comments that it suits Rocco well. ‘Look, I said I could do it, right?’ I wondered why the directors hadn’t given me a script like this before!” Jeon Do-yeon said with a satisfied face. After SBS ‘Lovers in Prague’ and the movie ‘You Are My Destiny’ (director Park Jin-pyo), he opened the second act as an actor by receiving the Best Actress Award at the Cannes International Film Festival for the film ‘Secret Sunshine’ (director Lee Chang-dong). At the same time, works with a sense of weight were piled up one by one in the filmography. The desire for something new also grew.

“I was always greedy for bright works and various looks, but there were not many options. Shall we say that we are trapped in a dark, heavy and serious work? But I am an actor, not a writer, director, or producer. I just waited a long time. People say that ‘One Hit Scandal’ is a re-examination of Jeon Do-yeon, but I didn’t think so. Anyway, I was still working. Even though it was frustrating not being able to do new works, I focused on my work and career every moment.”

Jeon Do-yeon repeatedly said, “I don’t confine myself to molds, but I don’t take risks to break them.” He also emphasized, “Even if I’m afraid of adventure, I don’t miss the opportunity when it comes.” The best he thinks is to do the given work silently. “There is an image that is expected of me, so that kind of work came in. Anticipation is a good thing. There’s nothing more frustrating than not expecting anyone. I can handle more expectations.” When I told her that Jeon Do-yeon and Pyo Rocco’s expectations had risen with ‘One Hit Scandal’, he smiled brightly and said, “If a good scenario comes, he can do it. Romance isn’t just for young people. I’m open to anything. In the past, now, and in the future, I am Jeon Do-yeon.”
