Chapter 85: Supporting Role
Chae-Won Choi had been playing the role of Neena for more than six years. While it was a role dear to her, recently, she had been feeling burned out because of it.
She had lost her spark, and it showed through her acting. Once a lively woman, Neena now felt dead.
Thankfully, the writers of the show slightly altered the original theme for the season.
They made Neena exactly how Chae-Won was—exhausted and lost. It suited the situation of the character and the direction of the show.
While Chae-Won was tired of playing the same role for years, Neena was tired of living the same life for years.
Both were lost in their own way. They needed a change in their routine. They needed something new.
For the actress, that pang of excitement came with a certain show. A show that had started a craze in the country. A show that made weekends feel like festivals. A show full of bloodshed, thrill, and evil.
Binsfeld’s Seven Princes of Hell had a profound effect on Chae-Won Choi.
It was exciting, unlike her life. And the more she watched, the more she felt invested.
The seven main roles were enthralling and full of character.
The drama only lasted for seven episodes, and maybe that’s why it felt like a breath of fresh air. It was a special show with a special cast.
