Hong Bi-ra Makes Her Mark in 'Dear X' with Steady Performance
Actress Hong Bi-ra is capturing attention with her stable acting performance in the TVING original series 'Dear X'.
'Dear X' tells the story of Baek A-jin (Kim Yoo-jung), a woman who dons a mask to rise to the top after escaping a hellish reality, and the 'X' individuals brutally trampled by her. Hong Bi-ra plays Moon Do-hee, the agency director at Longstar Entertainment, where Baek A-jin is affiliated. As the right-hand woman to CEO Seo Mi-ri (Kim Ji-young), she calmly manages crises within the company.
Her sharp situational judgment and information processing skills are particularly evident as she adeptly handles unexpected incidents within the company amidst escalating conflicts between Lena (Lee Yeol-eum) and Baek A-jin. Furthermore, even amidst the chaos of spreading issues surrounding Heo In-gang (Hwang In-yeop) and Baek A-jin, she maintains the drama's tension with an unwavering and firm demeanor, highlighting her character's professionalism.
With her clear diction and steady tone, Hong Bi-ra breathes life into her characters. Previously, in the Disney+ original series 'The 9 Puzzle,' she portrayed Detective Byun Ji-yoon, showcasing restrained emotions and a calm charisma. By consistently completing characters persuasively with appropriate tonal adjustments and detailed facial expressions suited to their circumstances in each project, Hong Bi-ra is once again expanding her acting spectrum through 'Dear X'.
'Dear X' is released every Thursday at 6 PM KST with two episodes airing sequentially on TVING.
Netizens are praising Hong Bi-ra's steady performance, commenting, 'Moon Do-hee is such a charming character!', 'Is Hong Bi-ra's filmography going to explode?', and 'The chemistry with Kim Yoo-jung is so good!' They are looking forward to her future activities.
