Jo Hyun Jae reveals, “In the drama “King’s Daughter, Soo Baek Hyang” (KDSBH) there is a scene where my character finds out that his birth father is dead and completely loses it after hearing about it. Writer Hwang Jin Young saw my acting in this scene and he recommended something to me by saying, “Why don’t you try to play a villain next time?”
Jo Hyun Jae continues, “Actually, I have always wanted to play a villainous character ever since I was young. Because of my image that kind of role never come to me. Even if I did make a request for it they never let that happen.”
It’s only natural for him to feel the burden for someone who is acting as a villain for the first time in his career, but he rather seemed to enjoy the feelings of burden. He thought of all the bad things that happened to him: including all the unfair things that happened to him personally, all the bad people with their facial expressions, their voices, and even their lively looking eyes were some of the things he thought about.
By doing all these he was able to gradually become Han Do Jun. Towards the beginning of the drama the explanation of the character Han Do Jun was lacking. But in the scene where he throws a cup at his subordinate, Jo Hyun Jae realized that Han Do Jun isn’t such a normal character and he was able to express himself nicely. However, since this is his first villain role there were all kinds of concern by the people around him.
