Actor Seo Hyunjin showed intense passion by personally taking on surfing for MBC’s new Fri-Sat drama “The Perfect Lie.”
The Perfect Lie, which premieres at 9:50 p.m. on the 30th, is produced by Film Company Jip and Kakao Entertainment (planning Lee Dae-yong/directing Jo Young-min/screenplay Baek Jae-young). On the 19th, the production released stills of Seo Hyunjin, who plays Kang Ji-seon, the “woman who insists on the truth,” delivering an unreserved, powerful performance.
In the released photos, Seo Hyunjin, wearing a rash guard, gazes at the sea as waves roll in; in another, she carries a heavy surfboard and walks out of the sea soaking wet, displaying the perfect poise of “The Surfer” and grabbing attention. In the stills, her gaze is somehow hollow yet deep, arousing curiosity about the shocking incident that will befall Kang Ji-seon in the drama.
For Kang Ji-seon, an elementary school librarian in the story, surfing is an important breathing space that soothes the pain of losing her parents early in childhood and a key setting that reveals the character’s inner life. Seo Hyunjin minimized the use of a double and showed enthusiasm by entering the sea herself to take on surfing in order to fully portray this.
The Perfect Lie production team said, “Actor Seo Hyunjin entered the sea herself wearing a rash guard to fully embody the character and took part in filming. Even though it was not an easy process, she always led the set with a bright smile, and the production team was also impressed by her passion that never missed small details.”
Meanwhile, The Perfect Lie is a high-density psychological thriller in which two men and women who present completely opposite claims about a single memory clash fiercely toward the truth. It also raises expectations as a reunion of actors Yoo Yeon-seok and Seo Hyunjin after 10 years.
