Ohnara, who made a special appearance in the tvN drama 'For the First Time in Love,' expressed her feelings about the role while forming a bizarre tension in the drama's universe integration.
In the tvN drama 'For the First Time in Love' (directed by Yoo Je-won, written by Seong Woo-jin, planned and produced by Studio Dragon, Showrunners), Ohnara perfectly showcased a good example of special appearances and contributed significantly to the work, which has reached a new turning point, with a fresh vitality.
The character Lee Yeo-jeong, played by Ohnara, is the ex-wife of Ryu Jeong-seok (portrayed by Park Hae-joon) and the mother of Ryu Bo-hyeon (played by Kim Min-kyu). She is a challenging and unapologetic character who, after getting married, went to Germany to study architecture, parting ways with her family.
Yeo-jeong captured attention from her first appearance. She entered the home of Jeong-seok and Bo-hyeon without contacting them for a long time. While being awkward and inexperienced, she created a tense atmosphere filled with jealousy toward Jeong-seok and Lee Ji-an (played by Yum Jung-ah). Notably, in the previous broadcast, Yeo-jeong, though uninvited, attended Ji-an's opening ceremony, openly revealing her jealousy. During a site visit where she was asked for advice, she displayed a rude attitude that seemed to ignore Ji-an, prompting viewers to react with comments like, "She's totally a sly fox! Is this revenge from 'Sky Castle'?" and "I can see now why she left Ohnara and became a monk! How annoying!"
Thus, although Ohnara made a special appearance, she realistically and vividly expressed the role of Yeo-jeong, showcasing an irreplaceable performance by perfectly embodying her character and exhibiting chemistry with the other actors through natural acting.
Ohnara, who proved her unique presence with her colorful charm and a very good example of a special appearance, stated, "I participated in this beautiful and healing work, 'For the First Time in Love,' with a heart full of excitement, thanks to the connection with my beloved senior Yum Jung-ah and actor Park Hae-joon, with whom I couldn't find love in a previous work. It was an honor to be a part of the project. I appreciate the director, writer, staff, and all the actors for welcoming me warmly and treating me well. I will cherish the precious memories!"
Q. What led you to participate in 'For the First Time in Love'?
- As far as I know, I heard that the character Yeo-jeong was the last one to be cast.
When I was first offered the role of Yeo-jeong, I felt that the image of me standing between Yum Jung-ah and Park Hae-joon would be a very interesting picture. I wanted to express my gratitude to both of them, who are always filled with appreciation, and the words of director Yoo Je-won saying that the final puzzle of the work has finally come together moved my heart.
I made the audience's hearts flutter as the only villain in such a beautiful work, but I am relieved to have successfully played the role of a bridge that strengthens Ji-an and Jeong-seok and to leave coolly.
Q. Your thoughts on playing the character 'Lee Yeo-jeong'
- I think it is a happy thing to always be able to play new characters. Moreover, I was even happier that I could act alongside Yum Jung-ah and Park Hae-joon.
Yeo-jeong can be selfish, but she is a challenging character who is unapologetic about her desires. I felt cautious about being a character that suddenly intrudes between Ji-an and Jeong-seok, who are doing well, but I acted funnily.
