“I just spent the greatest year of my life, how could I possibly be jealous of anyone else?”
Kim So Yeon is one of the few that has had a highly successful year. The actress started off with “Iris,” and switched up roles for SBS’s “Prosecutor Princess” as well as “Doctor Champ“. She will return to the small screen once more with her appearance in “Athena“, thus marking the year 2010 as quite the hectic, but fulfilling one.
“I started off the year as ‘Sunhwa’ (Iris character) and will be finishing my year through Sunhwa as well. There can’t possibly be another lucky actress like me. I’m happy to the point of never wanting to wake up if this is a dream.”
On landing the leading roles for each of her dramas, she stated, “Personally, they were all experiences that touched me greatly. I wanted to make a 180 degree transformation after the end of ‘Iris’ and coincidentally received such an opportunity through ‘Prosecutor Princess’, Ma Hye Ri. I was even able to move on from the more luxurious character of Ma Hye Ri to the clean and simple Yeon Woo in ‘Doctor Champ.’ I needed time to make transitions, but I think being able to adjust quickly to different characters is a skill worth honing.”
When asked why she has such an unending ‘thirst’ for acting, she claimed that it was due to her rather unsuccessful past. Although she rose to stardom with “All About Eve” in 2000, her next drama “Autumn Shower” from 2005 was forced to an abrupt end with only 3% in viewer ratings. Before she returned in 2008 with “Parasitic Houseguest,” Kim So Yeon agonized greatly over her career. Fortunately, the actress revitalized her image through “Iris.”
On her return in “Athena,” she revealed, “I’m basically a special guest. I filmed for about a week in order to appear for 10-15 minutes in the last episode. It was hard for me to let Sunhwa go last year, so seeing her now makes my throat close up. It’s not easy playing the same role nearly a year later, but Sunhwa is the character that brought me Hye Ri and Yeon Woo, so I want to put my life on the line and do her good. Sunhwa will be given new action scenes, so please anticipate it.”
