Pyo Ye-jin "Lee Je-hoon and the newlyweds, there's a lot of ad-libs"
Recently, I met actress Pyo Ye-jin, who finished SBS's 'Model Taxi 2' and tvN's 'Youth's Tale', at a cafe in Nonhyeon-dong, Seoul. 'Model Taxi 2' is a private revenge drama in which the mysterious taxi company Rainbow Transportation and taxi driver Kim Do-gi (played by Lee Je-hoon) complete revenge on behalf of wronged victims. Pyo Ye-jin plays the role of Ang Eun, a hacker and employee in the accounting department of Rainbow Transportation. . 'A Tale of Youth' is a romance that tells the story of Crown Prince Lee Hwan (played by Park Hyeong-sik), who is under a mysterious curse, and Min Jae-i (played by Jeon So-ni), a genius girl who is singled out as the culprit of a family murder case overnight. Pyo Ye-jin plays the role of Garam, Min Jae-i's servant. I took on the role.
Yejin Pyo chose Angoeun as the character she is attached to. Pyo Ye-jin said, "Go-eun is strong and easy-going, but she also has pain. She is a good character with a lot to show in various ways. I had no idea that a character like this would come to me. . At the time, it was a character that did not appeal to me, so I had a great sense of challenge to do well." He continued, "As I was doing it, I fell in love with this character who was tough and strong but had scars. There were many aspects that were closer to my real self than I thought. I wondered if I could play another character as cool as Go Eun."
In Season 2, Pyo Ye-jin was directly deployed to the scene rather than as 'rear support' in the call van. Accordingly, along with Lee Je-hoon, he showed a variety of secondary character play. Pyo Ye-jin said, "When I first received the script, I thought it would be fun because there were parts where I could play outside. I also had expectations that I would be able to show a side of me that I haven't been able to show before. I've seen Je-hoon oppa's brilliant secondary character play a lot, so I have to do it properly too. “I felt greedy,” he said. He continued, "It was fun for me and it. was good for the viewers because it was new to them. I think Go Eun showed that she can work well outside as well," he said with satisfaction.
Pyo Ye-jin showed off a variety of secondary characters, including a filial piety performance singer, a nurse, and a new bride. Pyo Ye-jin said, "I also prepared a lot for the singer sub-character. I thought about how I could show a clearly different side of myself. It was fun and enjoyable. I also wanted to sing like a real singer, so I took some lessons and recorded it. I also thought about the concept. I thought about the concept that the elderly would like. “I was thinking about what I could do, and I also prepared props like maracas and dance moves,” he said. with a laugh.
In the episode where real estate fraudsters were caught, Kim Do-gi disguised himself as a newlywed couple. Pyo Ye-jin said, "I think there was a lot of ad-libs. Due to the nature of this secondary character, there were a lot of parts that required ad-libs, but mainly Je-hoon oppa came up with ideas, and I followed along well. To deceive real estate fraudsters, we pretended to be newlyweds and crossed our arms to make a heart. “There was a lot of cuteness and ad-libs. It was embarrassing,” he said, bursting into laughter.
Pyo Ye-jin said about Lee Je-hoon, "My brother prepares surprisingly well and comes up with a lot of ideas. Seeing that made me reflect." He then expressed his admiration, saying, "When I played the side character of a newlywed couple, my brother thought a lot more than me and suggested ideas. I respected him. I thought he was working hard while being comfortable on set like a professional ." She said, "My older brother jokes around a lot. When I'm taking a bust shot, he's playing on the other side to make me laugh. Thanks to my brother, there are many times when I feel relaxed even during heavy filming. He's the mood maker."
When asked to choose the most indignant episode among the many episodes, Pyo Ye-jin chose the 'Real Estate Fraudster' episode. In the play, a real estate fraudster commits the atrocity of having people who desperately want a house adopt an orphan, then raising their subscription score to win, and then selling it off. Pyo Ye-jin said, "The whole incident made me angry, but I was especially angry at the fact that the children were exploited. The child actor acted so well that I felt even more heartbroken and cried. I heard that it was a real incident , so I looked it up and found a YouTube video with related information. “There is also,” he said. He also said, “Isn't there an episode related to pseudo-religion? Coincidentally, a documentary on Netflix about similar content became a hot topic. "I think it attracted more attention because it coincided with the timing."
