Choo So-jung has transformed into the owner of a rice bowl restaurant in 'Heo's Diner.'
On the 15th, her agency King Kong by Starship released several behind-the-scenes stills from the What a Media drama 'Heo's Diner' (written by Seong So-hyun, directed by Oh Hwan-min and Kim Kyung-eun), featuring Choo So-jung in the role of 'Bong Eun-sil,' the daughter of a rice bowl restaurant without a sign.
In the released photos, Choo So-jung is holding a stone pot and smiling at the camera. With a neatly tied hairstyle and a floral apron, she looks like a perfect owner of a rice bowl restaurant.
In another photo, Choo So-jung is capturing attention with an intense expression while grabbing someone by the collar. This scene depicts her character, Eun-sil, who was enraged after discovering that her restaurant was forced to stop operations due to a lie about a cockroach in the soup during the 6th episode. It is rumored that Choo So-jung focused on the script during breaks on set and made efforts to increase her synchronization with Eun-sil.
Choo So-jung is dynamically portraying a character who evolves from an assistant at the rice bowl restaurant to a true owner. When the restaurant faces a crisis, she conveys Eun-sil's determination authentically, garnering support from viewers. Notably, Choo So-jung delicately depicts the relationship with Heo Gyun (played by Siwoo Min), who she often complains about but secretly cares for, adding another layer of fun to the drama. Expectations are building for how Choo So-jung will lead the second half of 'Heo's Diner.'
Meanwhile, 'Heo's Diner,' featuring Choo So-jung, is released every Monday and Tuesday at 5 p.m. on Netflix and Wavve, at 7 p.m. on Watcha and Tving, and at 9 p.m. on MBN Plus.
