Two Personalities, One Actress
Here’s where it gets interesting. Hong Seung Hee essentially plays a dual role:
- Oh Hae Ra: a timid, fearful chaebol heiress who has lived cut off from the world. TV is her only friend, and she’s grown attached to her favourite actor, Uhm Tae Bong, star of the drama The Prince’s Bodyguard.
- Cha Hong Doo: after being hit by a car, Hae Ra wakes up certain she is this tough, spirited, combat-skilled bodyguard from the show. She sets out to protect Tae Bong at all costs.
How She Prepared?
To separate the two characters, Hong Seung Hee focused on every detail: outfits, styling, manner of speech and facial expressions. She also attended action school to handle the fight scenes as Tae Bong’s self-appointed bodyguard.
She says she’s a big fan of the rom-com genre and was excited by the show’s fresh, bubbly story and unique premise.
Why It’s Worth Watching?
A fish-out-of-water setup, a mix of comedy and action, and a lead who commits to two distinct performances: that’s a strong recipe for a feel-good watch. Fans of rom-coms with a twist should mark October 24 on their calendars.
