Chun Woo-hee Proves Herself a Melodrama Queen in 'My Youth'

Actress Chun Woo-hee has once again proven her prowess in authentic melodrama through JTBC's Friday series 'My Youth'.

Episodes 3 and 4, aired on the 12th, depicted Sung Yeon-jeon (played by Chun Woo-hee) gradually opening her heart to Sun-woo-hae (played by Song Joong-ki), whom she reunites with as adults. The two found themselves unexpectedly alone on an island for an extra day while filming a documentary, and amidst their realistic bickering chemistry, a romance naturally began to blossom. The episode concluded with a picturesque kiss ending, signaling a shift in their relationship and heightening viewers' excitement.

Chun Woo-hee perfectly embodied a realistic reunion romance by blending a seemingly indifferent yet warm demeanor with delightful wit. From the subtle distance felt with a first love to the emotional walls slowly crumbling, she portrayed the complex feelings with delicate nuance. Her bright smile and lovable charm exuded an innocent appeal, earning her praise as a 'new discovery' of the multi-faceted actress, Chun Woo-hee. Online communities were flooded with positive comments such as 'Shines like sunshine,' 'So lovable,' and 'Chun Woo-hee being Chun Woo-hee.'

Chun Woo-hee's exceptional acting further elevates the overall quality of 'My Youth.' Combined with refined direction, the authentic melodrama delivers a gentle wave of excitement and depth to viewers with its warm emotions and compelling narrative. Notably, Chun Woo-hee has built a filmography that commands trust by leading numerous well-made projects. Her role in 'Be Melodramatic,' which marked a new era for JTBC romantic comedies, continues to receive immense love, and last year's 'The Atypical Family' also garnered significant attention both domestically and internationally thanks to its unique concept and Chun Woo-hee's performance.

JTBC's Friday series 'My Youth' airs two episodes consecutively every Friday at 8:50 PM.

Chun Woo-hee debuted in the 2004 film 'Sassy Girl' and has since garnered recognition for her versatile acting skills across various projects.

She has earned the title of 'an actress to trust' for her subtle emotional portrayals and stable performances.

Her impressive roles in numerous works, including 'Be Melodramatic,' 'Han Gong-ju,' and 'The Wailing,' have solidified her status as a powerhouse actress.
