The filmography of 'Generation Z representative actress' Noh Jung-ui is diverse.
In the MBC Friday-Saturday drama 'Crushology 101' (written by Seong So-eun, directed by Kim Ji-hoon, produced by Kakao Entertainment), Noh Jung-ui, who plays 'Ban Hee-jin,' a lovely character who is the top student in the Department of Sculpture at Yein University and is affectionately called 'Bani,' is steadily building her filmography through various works.
Noh Jung-ui, who began to gain recognition as a child actress through the drama 'The Vegetable Store for Bachelors' in 2011, has steadily grown as a youth actress through numerous works, including the dramas 'Dream High 2,' 'The Sound of Your Heart Season 2,' 'Pinocchio,' 'Live Up to Your Name,' '18 Again,' and films such as 'A Girl's World,' 'Hitchhike,' and 'The Day I Died.'
The first work Noh Jung-ui presented as an adult was 'In Our Place.' In this work, she plays 'NJ,' a top idol at the end of her prime, and brightens the living room with her glamorous visuals. To embody the character, she attempted hair bleaching, and her portrayal of being 'the idol itself' drew a lot of attention.
Afterward, Noh Jung-ui began to establish herself as a 'Generation Z representative icon' by actively serving as a host on 'SBS Inkigayo' and showcased a school-themed series on Netflix called 'Hilariki,' where she played 'Jung Jae-i,' a character with a cold and elegant charm. Jae-i, who had always lived a predetermined life, develops unspoken secrets and wounds that change her cold gaze and expression, capturing viewers' attention.
In the subsequent drama 'The Witch,' Noh Jung-ui portrayed 'Mi-jung,' a character who lives with a different dark shadow from 'Jung Jae-i' in 'Hilariki,' stirring viewers' tear ducts. As Mi-jung experiences those who love her getting hurt or dying, her overwhelming sense of guilt and suffering evokes sympathy, leading audiences to immerse themselves in the depth of her emotions. In particular, she showcased a perfect sync rate with the character of 'Mi-jung' from Kang Pool's original webtoon 'The Witch,' which elicited admiration.
Meanwhile, Noh Jung-ui is currently convincingly portraying the journey of 'Bani' in 'Crushology 101,' who goes through the pain of love and grows. Even as she sustains wounds from various forms of love, her ability to pursue love with resilience resonates with youth. Noh Jung-ui has thoroughly analyzed her character for this work and paid attention to styling to perfect the look of 'Lovely Bani.'
Through each piece, Noh Jung-ui has poured passionate efforts and continues to add her own color to her filmography. From a child actress to an adult, she has been expanding her acting spectrum without rest and greeting the public with a new face in each work. There is increasing anticipation for Noh Jung-ui's future growth.
Meanwhile, the MBC Friday-Saturday drama 'Crushology 101' starring Noh Jung-ui will air this Friday and Saturday at 9:50 p.m.
