Shin Min-a of ‘Evil Romance’ revealed the reason for choosing the work.

On the afternoon of the 9th, Shin Min-a met with Donga.com for an interview about the Netflix series ‘Bad Romance’ at JW Marriott Dongdaemun Square Seoul in Jongno-gu, Seoul, and talked about the work.

On this day, when asked why she chose ‘Evil Romance’, Shin Min-a said, “The script was so fun. The tension of not knowing where the story would go and what kind of story it would unfold was refreshing. I came in later, and it was true that I felt burdened by my position. Nevertheless, when I was offered the role, I thought that there would be something I wanted, such as the image I have.”



While saying this, “The script was revised a lot, and it was revised so that the lead character would act more actively. Since the lead character is the victim, we all agreed not to give her the catharsis that ‘Evil Romance’ has. Since I was involved in the revision process, I think the emotions that ‘Evil Romance’ intended for were the part that the director paid the most attention to. I thought about how it would be to directly take revenge, and I also tried to act with a similar ending as them within the given emotional line, saying, ‘People are all the same.’ I shared the same thoughts with the director and tried to divide the ending. In the end, since there is a clear ending story, I tried to respect that,” he explained the ending of ‘Evil Romance.’

In this ‘Evil Romance’, Shin Min-a left a strong impact despite her small screen time, despite not being the main character leading the story. Regarding this, Shin Min-a emphasized the reason she chose this work, saying, “Despite that, the fact is that I chose this script was just for fun. It was interesting that many actors were leading the story, which was different from the works I’ve been offered so far. The lead role was constantly being revised, but my screen time was no different from a special appearance. I thought it wouldn’t be meaningless since I’m the biggest victim in the story and it’s the story that wraps it up. Rather than feeling regretful, I thought it would be good for my filmography if I did it. More than anything, I liked the script.”

In particular, Shin Min-a, who has left a strong impression in romantic comedies so far, said, “Actually, I haven’t done many romantic comedies. People really liked that side of me and gratefully gave me the modifier. I didn’t think it was that different when I was choosing the work. I really like watching thriller movies and dramas. I sometimes imagine myself in those works, and when such a good work comes, I think I want to do it. If I get the chance to show many sides of myself in the future, regardless of the thriller, comedy, or romantic genre, I want to work hard.”

Meanwhile, ‘Evil Relations’, released on the 4th, is a crime thriller that depicts the story of six people who are entangled in an evil relationship that they cannot escape from even if they want to.

Shin Min-a plays the role of Joo-yeon, a surgeon who lives with lifelong trauma.
