Actor Jo Hye-Joo gave birth to another charming character and successfully concluded the journey of Spooky in Love.
Jo Hye-Joo played Chun Ha-ri, a royal family member of the ReiNa Hotel & Resort Group, in the tvN weekend drama Spooky in Love, which ended on the 23rd to favorable reviews, sweeping the attention of home viewers. She proved her character interpretation skills by delicately portraying everything from the air of an arrogant ambitious woman to the tense rivalry with her cousin older sister Chun Yeo-ri (Park Eunbin).
In the drama, Jo Hye-Joo three-dimensionally shaped Chun Ha-ri, with polished visuals, an unrestrained attitude, and an honest, free-spirited personality. Even amid an unfavorable succession situation, she convincingly gave the character credibility by actively pursuing what she wanted, proudly and haughtily expressing jealousy, and sensitively capturing the pride and anxiety hidden beneath.
Especially, the precarious relationship with Park Eunbin was a key viewing point that manipulated the drama's tension. Jo Hye-Joo adjusted subtle tension by constantly changing the way she looked at and spoke to her counterpart even within the same space. In fiercely contested moments she would unleash a sharp competitive spirit, while at unexpected times exchanging delightful banter that added chewy fun to the drama. Her sensory acting tone, which conveys a character's inner feelings without exaggeration using only eyes and gestures, stood out.
Above all, in the final episode's ending, attention was drawn to the depiction of Chun Ha-ri leaving behind the glamorous life of the royal family and starting over from the bottom as a hotel concierge staff member. She both showed an ambivalent chemistry that subtly worried about her former rival Chun Yeo-ri and, even after losing the chance for upward mobility(?), infused the drama with energy until the end with her cute and cheeky charm that did not lose its characteristic haughtiness.
