Jeon Soni has captivated the world.
The Netflix series "As You Stood By" drew an explosive response immediately after its release and has captured the hearts of viewers worldwide, and Jeon Soni, who left a strong impression with her thrilling acting, has been the topic of conversation day after day.
"As You Stood By," released on the 7th, is a psychological thriller about two women who decide to kill in the face of a reality they cannot escape unless they die or kill, and who become embroiled in an unexpected incident. It entered the top 10 in 22 countries worldwide, including Korea, Brazil, Thailand and Indonesia, within three days of its release, and drew continued praise, proving its global topicality. And at the center of that was actor Jeon Soni.
Jeon Soni played Jo Eun-su, who works on the VIP department team at a department store luxury hall. Jo Eun-su, who has only one close friend, Jo Hee-su (played by Lee Yu-mi), not only goes beyond her limits to save her friend but also carries inner trauma while calmly and rationally driving developments. Jeon Soni solidified the drama's immersion by delicately portraying the varied and complex textures of emotion Jo Eun-su feels in rapidly changing situations after learning the truth surrounding Jo Hee-su.
Earlier this year in February, Jeon Soni led global success with dense emotional acting in the Netflix series "Melo Movie." This time as well, she succeeded in another transformation with even deeper emotional acting and unique expressiveness optimized for the psychological thriller genre. Unlike the warm and lyrical emotions that stood out in "Melo Movie," in "As You Stood By" she struck a balance with steady, weighty acting amid taut tension. Critics say Jeon Soni's distinctive control of tempo and rhythmic breathing expanded further, showing the pinnacle of her acting spectrum.
Meanwhile, Jeon Soni said, "I think it's scarier when I act with a lot of heart. I was so nervous that before the release I even avoided looking at the calendar and wanted to look away. My nervousness is still greater than my anticipation," expressing deep affection for "As You Stood By" with sincere remarks. She also noted additional viewing points for "As You Stood By," saying, "I think the power of the music is really big. Thanks to the music, the early and later parts felt distinctly different, and as a result the cinematic completeness increased. It definitely had the power to draw viewers in through eight episodes," showing confidence in the work.
Through delicate emotional modulation, Jeon Soni gracefully expressed the inner amplitude, adding lingering resonance to "As You Stood By" and becoming the emotional anchor. Her flexibility across genres and deep expressiveness, and the solid energy contained within restraint, made "As You Stood By" stand out even more. Jeon Soni's performance, which shows traces of meticulous consideration down to her eyes, breathing and line delivery, made viewers empathize with her emotions and compelled them to follow until the end.
Jeon Soni proved an even firmer presence with "As You Stood By." Expectations are high for Jeon Soni's next move after captivating viewers worldwide. "As You Stood By," where you can see Jeon Soni's intense presence and impressive acting, is available to watch on Netflix.<
