Joo Hyun-young Transforms into an Unpredictable Character in 'The Poor Heir Bong-hee'
Actress Joo Hyun-young is set to captivate audiences with a surprising transformation as the enigmatic Baek Hye-ji in the upcoming Genie TV original drama, 'The Poor Heir Bong-hee'.
The series, premiering on the 29th, is a crime romance that follows a struggling bodyguard who enters into a contract marriage with a terminally ill chaebol chairman. The plot thickens as they must survive for three months while concealing their identities, all while facing threats from those coveting the vast inheritance. The cast, including Jeon Yeo-been, Jin Young, Seo Hyun-woo, and Jang Yoon-ju, has already generated significant anticipation.
Joo Hyun-young takes on the role of Baek Hye-ji, a housemaid working in the opulent mansion of the Gaseong Group. Close to Kim Young-ran (played by Jeon Yeo-been), Baek Hye-ji possesses a dual nature: outwardly charming and disarming with her candid demeanor, yet harboring an inscrutable inner self that adds a layer of tension to the narrative. Her unpredictable actions within the sprawling estate are expected to heighten the dramatic suspense.
In the released stills, Joo Hyun-young is depicted moving through the grand residence with a calm yet cool gaze, exuding a subtle yet intriguing aura. Viewers are keen to see the impact of Baek Hye-ji's presence, which leaves no room for complacency, on the unfolding story.
Having previously showcased her versatility across various genres from comedy to thriller, Joo Hyun-young is poised to deliver another powerful acting performance that promises to leave a lasting impression.
Joo Hyun-young gained widespread recognition for her diverse characters in popular segments like 'Reporter Joo Goes' and 'Love With You' on 'SNL Korea'. Her role as Dong Geu-rami in the hit drama 'Extraordinary Attorney Woo' significantly boosted her public profile with a notably impressive performance for a newcomer. She is currently showcasing her multifaceted talent as an MC for the music show 'Inkigayo'.
