Actor Chae Seo-an is captivating viewers with her powerful performance as Taeju-buin, who supports IU from behind to help her become the daegunbuin in Perfect Crown.
Chae Seo-an plays Han Da-young, the eldest daughter of a former Minister of the Ministry of Justice, in the MBC Friday-Saturday drama Perfect Crown, vividly conveying not only the elegant speech and poised appearance befitting a noble family background but also a quick-witted intelligence in judging situations, firmly serving as a source of energy for the drama.
In the drama, Da-young and her husband Seong Tae-ju (played by Lee Jae Won), who is from a commoner background, display a cute marital chemistry based on a love that transcends status. At the baseball stadium, when she met Ian Daegun (played by Byeon Woo-seok) she calmly soothed her excited husband, and when her husband grew jealous of Hee-ju (played by IU) rising in status, she demonstrated sharp mental acuity by saying, "If Hee-ju becomes daegunbuin, the management rights will belong to Tae-ju."
Also, to a friend who belittled her for marrying a commoner she coolly retorted with the composure of someone who said, "Haven't you heard that a young woman of low birth is going to meet the daegun family?" delivering a satisfying boldness. She maintains unwavering confidence in public, but in front of her husband she explodes into cute anger, displaying a reverse charm that fully radiates a sweet-and-salty appeal.
This character is particularly eye-catching because it is a bright, confident persona that contrasts 180 degrees with the downtrodden, long-suffering Yeong-ran, the 'Mrs. Hak' role Chae Seo-an played last year in the Netflix series When Life Gives You Tangerines. With IU and Byeon Woo-seok's marriage accelerating in the story and the drama entering a new phase, expectations are growing for what kind of special supporting role Chae Seo-an will play in future developments.
Meanwhile, Perfect Crown, in which Chae Seo-an is active, recorded a nationwide rating of 11.2% in its sixth episode (according to Nielsen Korea), marking a record high.
