Actress Hong Soo-ju left closing remarks after sending off the much-talked-about drama "Moon River."
Hong Soo-ju left a strong impression on viewers by portraying Kim Woo-hee, the only daughter of absolute power figure Left State Councilor Kim Han-chul (played by Jin Goo) and a woman possessing Joseon's greatest beauty and wisdom, in MBC's Friday-Saturday drama "Moon River," which ended on the 20th.
She played out the aspects of a woman with strong mental fortitude who would risk death for Jaeun Daegun (played by Lee Shin-young), her longtime beloved, unfolding in charismatic moments. In particular, despite being her first historical drama since debut, her distinctive acting that amplified the character's charm and her elegant visuals captured attention.
In the 13th episode and the finale, scenes depicted Woo-hee grieving after sending away her longtime friend and maid Yeo-ri at her father's hand. But she did not remain in despair; she delivered a letter to Choreng-ital, who held the key to the case, to correct her crooked father's greed.
Furthermore, the incident of the Year of the Snake that brought a storm of bloodshed delivered a shock when it was revealed that her father Kim Han-chul's actions were revenge for his own love and in place of Jang Jeongwanghu, who was Jaeun Daegun's mother, and the "straightforward pure love" Kim Woo-hee continued her tender affection for Jaeun Daegun to the end. After a difficult journey, when she reunited with Jaeun Daegun, they eventually formed a family and enjoyed complete happiness.
Through this work, Hong Soo-ju delicately unfolded Kim Woo-hee's tender pure love for her beloved and the character's growth narrative, leaving a lingering impression. Hong Soo-ju's acting, which calmly portrayed the character's emotional changes, drew reactions that she should be added to the list of "charming characters."
Saying goodbye to Kim Woo-hee with a perfect happy ending with her beloved, Hong Soo-ju said, "During the long filming period I had so much fun I lost track of time while filming. I was truly happy and grateful to have made good memories together with the director, senior actors, fellow actors and the staff."
She added, "To me, Kim Woo-hee was a character who came to me very strongly, so I think the afterglow will remain even after the work ends. I am truly grateful to the viewers who loved and supported the work and Kim Woo-hee. I will repay you by showing more growth in the future."
Hong Soo-ju drew public attention by appearing in Drama Special 2021-Between, Netflix's "Sweet Home" season 2, and Disney+ original series "The Impossible Heir." Attention is focused on her next steps.<
