Actor Won Ji-an opened a powerful prelude of twists from her first appearance in "Polaris."
Disney+ original series "Polaris" tells the story of Moon-ju (played by Jeon Ji-hyun), a U.N. ambassador who has built an international reputation and is chasing the forces behind the shooting of a presidential candidate, and Sanho (played by Gang Dong-won), a stateless special agent assigned to protect her, as they face a huge truth that threatens the Korean Peninsula, and since its first release on the 10th it has been drawing intense global attention.
In the drama, Won Ji-an plays Kang Hanna, who has a mysterious relationship with Jun-ik (played by Park Hae-joon). In episodes 4 and 5 released on the 17th, Won Ji-an, who made her first appearance creating an eerie atmosphere, delivered a strong presence as she set up a sharp confrontation with Moon-ju (played by Jeon Ji-hyun).
Hanna revealed her relationship with Jun-ik, Moon-ju's husband and a future presidential candidate, drawing Moon-ju and viewers alike into a whirlpool of major reversals. She greeted Moon-ju, who came to her house, with a smile, then suddenly changed, unfolding the story of Jun-ik while depicting deep anger and sorrow, and expressed her sharp feelings toward Moon-ju without restraint, injecting taut tension into the drama.
Won Ji-an captured viewers' attention by portraying Hanna densely with deeper acting skills and her distinctive charming voice. Not only did she finely express the wide swings of Hanna's emotions, but her passionate performance conveying the desperate feeling of protecting the child who witnessed Jun-ik's shooting was enough to elicit admiration from viewers.
Thus, Won Ji-an is once again rendering the character three-dimensionally with her own color in "Polaris," heightening expectations among viewers. Having repeatedly shown relentless acting transformations and achievements from the recent explosive hit "Squid Game" to "My Heart Beats," "Juvenile Offenses," and "D.P.," all eyes are on Won Ji-an's continuing activities in "Polaris."
Meanwhile, "Polaris," in which Won Ji-an appears, plans to release episodes 6-7 on Sep. 24 (Wed) and episodes 8-9 on Oct. 1 (Wed).
