Actor Lee Si-young, who grants in "Salon de Holmes," shared her thoughts on presenting her first work after divorce.
On the afternoon of the 16th, a production presentation for the new ENA drama "Salon de Holmes" (written by Kim Yeon-sin, directed by Min Jin-ki and Jeong Hyun-nam) took place at the Stanford Hotel located in Sangam-dong, Mapo-gu, Seoul. Actors Lee Si-young, Jeong Young-joo, Kim Da-som, Nam Gi-ae, and director Min Jin-ki attended the event to discuss the work.
Following "Tastefully Yours," "Salon de Holmes" is a comedic romance action drama set against the backdrop of the Gwangseon Jugong APT., featuring a top-notch former ace detective, an insurance mogul, and the queen of part-time workers, as four women come together to take down the apartment villains. Lee Si-young plays the role of Gong Mi-ri, somewhat like the distinguished detective Holmes of Gwangseon Jugong, Jeong Young-joo plays the female Ma Dong-seok Choo Kyung-ja of Gwangseon Jugong, Kim Da-som plays Park So-hee, the "queen of part-time workers" who zips around the neighborhood on a motorcycle, and Nam Gi-ae takes on the role of the super social butterfly Jeon Ji-hyun, known for her keen insight, promising to show synergy together.
Lee Si-young noted about "Salon de Holmes," "There were aspects of my character that were limited. I was focused on being a prosecutor, detective, or on action. However, I originally liked comedy and always felt happy when meeting a work personally. During that time, the director made a suggestion that brought back happy memories. I'm glad to be doing a fun drama after a long time. I'm personally looking forward to greeting everyone with a different side of me. Please look forward to it a lot."
He continued, "I was happy while acting as Mi-ri. It was good just to be on set with a character I haven't done in a long time. I think Mi-ri and I share similar emotional thoughts. Contrary to my own thoughts, I have a somewhat timid and passive side. As I get older, I tend to lean more toward being protective rather than proactive, while Mi-ri is the opposite. She is a style that charges ahead and tackles issues head-on. So even while acting, I felt a certain catharsis. I found myself wanting to resemble her."
Moreover, Lee Si-young recently experienced divorce and is now presenting "Salon de Holmes" as her first work. He mentioned, "I had personal matters, so of course there were parts that worried me a bit. There were aspects of being somewhat passive, but fortunately, it seems my personal matters did not affect my work. I was grateful for my colleagues and the director who supported me. I'm glad that this drama is a bright one. Although it's a drama filmed before my personal matters, we are all doing promotions together. I hope many people love it as much as they are looking forward to it."
"Salon de Holmes" will premiere tonight (the 16th) at 10 p.m. on ENA.
