Actor Chae Seo-an has perfectly transformed into a noble family's young lady in Perfect Crown and made a definite impression on home viewers. In particular, the "fateful connection" of meeting IU again after their previous work is a hot topic among viewers.
Chae Seo-an plays the eldest daughter Han Da-young of the prestigious legal family Han in the currently airing MBC Friday-Saturday drama Perfect Crown. She serves as a lively presence in the drama by forming an adorable rivalry with the protagonist Seong Hee-ju, played by IU.
In episode 1, which aired on the 10th, Han Da-young first appeared with the graceful demeanor of a noble family's young lady. But when she spoke, she delivered a twist of fun with a tone that oddly provoked Hee-ju (played by IU). To the sharp-tongued Hee-ju, who is tense over the arranged marriage issue, she elegantly delivered a "fact bomb" saying, "What can you do, miss?" As Hee-ju saved Da-young in her phone as "reus*teng-i" (reus*teng-i is a Korean slang insult) the reveal of their perfect "enemy chemistry" drew laughter.
By contrast, she showed a "honeyed" marital affection with her husband Seong Tae-ju (played by Lee Jae Won). Although it appears to be an arranged marriage between families, Da-young's habit of sticking close to her husband and sending him affectionate looks each time she appears adds dimensional fun to the drama, showing that it is in fact a genuine love marriage.
Above all, what excites viewers is the extraordinary reunion of Chae Seo-an and IU. This is their second meeting after the Netflix series When Life Gives You Tangerines, which caused a global sensation.
In When Life Gives You Tangerines, Chae Seo-an played the young Yeong-ran, portraying a reversal of narrative behind a fresh appearance and earning the striking nickname "Mrs. Hak." Unlike her previous role, which left a deep impression as a character with a poignant backstory, in this Perfect Crown she has transformed into a quirky noble family's young lady and is forming a new relationship with IU. The intriguing dynamic is like a "past life" connection continuing in the "present life" as sister-in-law and elder sister-in-law, which is a key point to watch.
Adding solid acting to her graceful visuals, Chae Seo-an is portraying Han Da-young attractively. Expectations are rising to see how she will continue her bickering chemistry with IU and lead the drama.
