Actress Jeon So-nee has once again left a profound impression with her overwhelming emotional acting in the Netflix series 'The Bequeathed,' solidifying it as another representative work in her career.

Released globally on the 7th, 'The Bequeathed' is a thriller centered around two women who decide to commit murder to escape a reality where they can only survive by killing or being killed. Jeon So-nee plays Jo Eun-soo, a VIP client manager at a luxury department store. Eun-soo is a character burdened by past trauma, who risks everything to save her only friend, Jo Hee-soo (played by Lee Yoo-mi).

Jeon So-nee masterfully portrayed the underlying anxiety and trauma hidden behind Eun-soo's outwardly calm and rational demeanor, using subtle facial expressions and controlled emotional lines to heighten viewer immersion from the early stages of the series.

Her true brilliance shone as the plot escalated into extreme situations. When tracking down the truth after sensing danger to her friend, she didn't limit her emotional outbursts to mere anger or fear. By precisely modulating the weight of her emotions through controlled breathing and the slightest tremor in her eyes, she maintained the thrilling tension of the narrative.

Her multifaceted performance, simultaneously expressing the rationality to remain calm amidst crisis and the underlying human guilt and compassion, perfectly drew viewers into the complex inner world of 'Jo Eun-soo.' Furthermore, her flawless execution of raw, physical action sequences added a layer of realism. Her movements during desperate moments of survival were not just mere action but were praised for realistically embodying an instinctive explosion erupting from the edge of emotion.

Jeon So-nee served as the firm emotional anchor amidst the turbulent plot, driving the narrative forward. Viewer acclaim, such as 'I was captivated' and 'Her eyes alone conveyed every emotion,' attests to how meticulously she unraveled the complex inner life of 'Jo Eun-soo.' The deep resonance left by Jeon So-nee at the heart of this chilling yet warm narrative continues to linger long after the series concluded.

Netizens have lavished praise on Jeon So-nee's nuanced emotional portrayal. Comments like 'I watched 'The Bequeathed' specifically for Jeon So-nee's acting and don't regret it' and 'I felt like she really became Jo Eun-soo. Her eye acting is the best' highlight the positive reception to her performance. The chemistry between her and Lee Yoo-mi was also noted, with viewers remarking, 'The ensemble between the two actresses amplified the series' tension.'
