Actress Chae Seo-an, who played Mrs.Hak in the Netflix drama ‘Foolish’, photographed the July issue of Cosmopolitan.

What if ‘Mrs.Hak’, who was not loved by ‘Mr.Hak’ in the drama, went back to that time and experienced the days of Leez? This pictorial, which started with the idea of a retro mood, was enough to find the hidden charm of Chae Seo-an.

I asked how he was doing after the drama ended.

“It feels like time that had stopped is flowing again.There are many people around me who recognize me, and I feel happy seeing my friends being happier than me.”

He also recalled the moment when he was cast in ‘The Return of Superman’.

“The phrase I said the most while acting was ‘I don’t appear much.’Since people around me asked me a lot about what kind of work I’m doing, I always added that at the end of ‘I’m in such-and-such work, and I play such-and-such a role, but I don’t appear much.’That’s why I didn’t have high expectations(even after receiving the casting offer).After filming ‘Cheated on You’ ended, I had a break and thought again about taking a different path than being an actor.”

He continued, “I felt like I would be eliminated and become lazier if I just sat still during my free time, so I tried to pass the time by moving my body somehow.(I did several part-time jobs)Of course, there was also the purpose of earning money,” and recalled that he bravely started working part-time jobs despite the concerns of those around him.

What is the most important thing for Chae Seo-an, who is about to start filming her next project, when she reads a script?

“I think I look at it holistically, like what genre it is, what the relationships between the characters are like, and most of all, whether it’s fun.I also try to imagine in my head what it would feel like when it’s made into a video.”

He added, “I really like lighthearted comedies like ‘White Chicks.’ Among Korean films, there’s a movie called ‘30 Days’ starring Kang Ha-neul and Jung So-min, and I really enjoyed it.I watched it a few times, thinking, ‘How would I have acted?’”

Now, Chae Seo-an also asked what season it resembles.

“Spring.It’s like a sprout that prepares to grow again after winter has passed and spring has come.I’ll spend the remaining season well, and winter will come again, but then I’ll just have to spend that season again.Right now, it’s just sprouted, so I’ll try to nurture it well!”

More pictorials and interviews with actress Chae Seo-an can be found in the July issue of Cosmopolitan and on the website at a later date.
