Seo Soo-hee Charms in 'You Died' and 'My Name is Kim Bong-nam'... Versatile Actress Shines on Both TV and OTT

Actress Seo Soo-hee is captivating audiences across both television and OTT platforms with her busy acting schedule.

In the Netflix series 'You Died,' released on the 7th, Seo Soo-hee took on the role of 'Jo Won-ju,' a rookie employee in the VIP department of a luxury department store, drawing viewers' attention.

'You Died' is based on the novel 'Naomi and Kanako' by Japanese author Hideo Okuda, telling the story of two women who decide to commit murder when faced with a reality from which they cannot escape unless they kill or are killed, and find themselves entangled in an unexpected incident.

Within the drama, Seo Soo-hee portrayed a junior member of the VIP team led by Jo Eun-soo (played by Jeon So-nee). Jo Won-ju looked up to Jo Eun-soo as her role model, displaying a fresh and respectful demeanor that caught the eye.

Notably, Jo Won-ju's announcement of a missing premium limited edition watch to Jo Eun-soo at her first appearance served as the catalyst for the series of events that lead to the acquaintance between Jo Eun-soo and Jin So-baek (played by Lee Mu-saeng). With her wide eyes, Jo Won-ju's portrayal of an anxious and somewhat clumsy rookie employee created strong immersion in the early part of the drama.

During a VIP team meeting, Jo Won-ju was seen attentively listening to Jo Eun-soo's presentation with a perfectly upright posture, and her observation of the subtly tense team atmosphere further heightened the suspense.

Through 'You Died,' Seo Soo-hee has successfully embodied a character who is somewhat awkward yet pure-hearted, a stark contrast to her previously displayed confident and bubbly persona, thereby expanding her acting spectrum by another notch.

Seo Soo-hee has been steadily building her filmography through various projects, including Netflix series 'Juvenile Justice,' 'The Fabulous,' and JTBC's 'The Miraculous Brothers.' Furthermore, she is currently appearing in the popular JTBC weekend drama 'My Name is Kim Bong-nam,' where she plays 'Chae Sa-won,' an employee in the Sales Team 2 of the large corporation ACT, showcasing a completely different vibe from 'You Died' and simultaneously exuding the charm of a confident MZ generation office worker.

Netizens have reacted positively to Seo Soo-hee's acting transformation, commenting, 'Rookie Jo Won-ju is so cute,' 'The clumsy look suits her too,' and 'I'm looking forward to seeing her future performances.'
