Jeon Yeo-bin has been running with a lot of ‘hard work’ since the new year.

She has been raising her stock by crossing over from dramas and movies to various genres such as mystery, romance, and comedy.

In particular, she has been attracting even more attention by continuously showing off her aggressive pace since her debut in 2015.

Having announced a positive start to the new year by recently surpassing 4 million viewers with the movie ‘Harbin’, which was released at the end of last year, she will also be releasing a new movie ‘Black Nuns’ and two dramas in which she is the lead role.

‘The Nuns’ (Director Kwon Hyuk-jae), which will be released on the 24th, is a sequel to ‘The Priests’, which mobilized 5.44 million people in 2015. It is an occult film about nuns who perform a forbidden ritual to save a boy possessed by a powerful evil spirit.

In the film, Jeon Yeo-bin plays Sister Michaela, who assists Song Hye-kyo, who plays Sister Unia. Song Hye-kyo was the first to recommend Jeon Yeo-bin for the role of Michaela, saying that she had always wanted to work with her.

I‘m also looking forward to the SBS drama ‘Our Movie’, which has been filming since last year. The drama ‘Our Movie’, which is scheduled to air in April, is a melodrama about a film director suffering from the sophomore jinx and an aspiring actor with a limited lifespan due to an illness, meeting and healing each other’s wounds while filming a film together.

In the drama, Jeon Yeo-bin transforms into Lee Da-hui, an aspiring actress who suffers from an incurable disease that could kill her at any time. Lee Da-hui is a very friendly character who gives advice on film production that deals with a limited lifespan and ends up dreaming of becoming an actress.

She has also grown into a top actress in another upcoming drama.

She has taken on the role of Buscemi, the main character in the ENA drama ‘Good Woman Buscemi’, scheduled to air in the first half of the year.

The drama tells the story of a female bodyguard who changes her identity and lives while avoiding those who are after her huge inheritance after entering into a contract marriage with a terminally ill conglomerate chairman.

Writer Hyun Gyu-ri, who co-wrote the script with director Ahn Tae-jin for the film ‘Owl’, is writing the script. Writer Hyun is a huge fan of famous Hollywood actor Steve Buscemi, so she took the title from his name.

In the drama, Jeon Yeo-bin plays Buscemi, a perfect woman who is the world‘s best, rather than a bodyguard from a poor family.
