“Of the characters I’ve played until now, this was the hardest one to approach. It was a villain I had never seen anywhere else. It’s hard to call her a villainess. She’s genderless. Not feminine nor masculine, like a middle-aged woman at times and like a middle-aged man at others. While acting, I focused on the fact that she has to be despicable. In many works, a villainess is sexy and captivating, or a certain incident or accident that causes her to carry out evil deeds is portrayed so that viewers can empathize with her. But for Choi Myung Hee, all of these were stripped away, and I had to show a balance between her mundanity and her evilness.”
