As soon as actress Choo Ja-hyun appeared, she completely changed the atmosphere of the play.

Choo Ja-hyun appeared as the character Yeom-hwa in tvN Monday-Tuesday drama ‘The Fairy and the Cowherd’ (written by Yang Ji-hoon and directed by Kim Yong-wan), completely changing the atmosphere of the drama.

With her sophisticated appearance and coolness, Yeom-hwa caught everyone’s attention just by appearing.Yeom-hwa, who exudes a gentle yet urban atmosphere, also has a mysterious and solid atmosphere.Although she is a shaman who attracts attention on the outside, Chu Ja-hyun is expressing Yeom-hwa’s complex inner self, who has lived a disconnected life without belonging to anyone, solely through her acting.

The previous broadcast showed Yeom-hwa quietly waiting in front of Gyeon-woo’s(played by Choo Young-woo)house.With a short greeting of “Hello, Sang-moon(a word used to call a recently deceased spirit),” she spilled her shopping bag on the floor, spilling out photos of the ossuary and cracked picture frames.Yeom-hwa’s one word, “How long will I have to protect your family from you?” shook the peaceful atmosphere in an instant.


In the scenes that followed, Yeom-hwa continued to pressure Gyeon-woo.After saying, “Your father is very worried,” she covered his eyes with her hand and whispered, “Close your eyes,” creating a strange atmosphere.

The character of Yeom-hwa overwhelmed the play with her mere presence.And the acting skills of Chu Ja-hyun, who melted into the character of Yeom-hwa, are extraordinary.Beyond the setting of a shaman, Chu Ja-hyun’s power, which leads the entire play with her eerie atmosphere, gaze, and speech, increases the immersion in the play.She adds tension to the somewhat clichéd narrative and even creates anticipation for the story that will unfold in the future.This is a big role in the play played by one actress, Chu Ja-hyun.

Attention is being paid to what kind of dramatic fun this transformation in Chu Ja-hyun’s acting will bring in the future.

‘The Cowherd and the Fairy’ airs every Monday and Tuesday at 8:50 PM on tvN.
