Actor Yuna added resonance to The Great Flood with unwavering acting.
Recognized early as an acting prodigy through numerous works, Yuna delivered an impressive performance in the Netflix film The Great Flood, which was released on the 19th. The Great Flood is an SF disaster blockbuster that depicts the desperate struggle inside an apartment as those holding humanity's last hope drown on the final day the flood hits Earth. Yuna plays Jisu, who comes to visit a grandfather living in the same apartment as Gu Anna (Kim Da Mi) and becomes caught in the middle of the disaster.
After Jisu becomes specially intertwined with Gu Anna, she calmly makes the choices she wants to protect even amid escalating confusion and fear, adding depth to the narrative. Yuna delicately portrayed this Jisu and offered exceptional immersion, and especially in the urgent situations typical of disaster films, she perfectly depicted the emotions a child might feel, eliciting empathy. Restrained expression without exaggeration actually amplified the tragic situation, and the calmly built emotional line drew viewers into the drama at once.
Yuna is an actor who gained acting experience by appearing in short films from age 5 and has established herself as a next-generation acting prospect through diverse works. She showed steady and impressive acting in the dramas The Kidnapping Day and Good Partner, and also made her presence felt in major works such as Netflix's Hell and Apple TV+'s Pachinko. She won the 2024 SBS Drama Awards' youth acting award for Good Partner, recognizing her distinctive acting skills. She has continued to expand her range across stage and screen with films such as The Priests 2: Dark Nuns and Post It!, as well as the play Sea of the Diary.
Despite her young age, Yuna, who has proven an ability to absorb any genre and character, in this Great Flood enriched the narrative by clearly conveying the character's emotions despite a brief appearance. With outstanding expressiveness, clever character interpretation, focus that never misses a moment, and immersion that traces a steep growth curve with each work, Yuna continues to grow rapidly. Attention is focused on Yuna, who will continue to deliver fiery performances.
Meanwhile, the Netflix film The Great Flood is available to watch only on Netflix.
