This is a rare criticized role in Son Ye Jin’s career.
Son Ye Jin is one of the “national” actors who are loved by the whole of Korea. Her career, her name almost never showed signs of going down. Right from the beginning of her career, she has had excellent main roles, from then on, she has continuously affirmed her position and name beyond the borders of Korea.
It’s so excellent, I thought Son Ye Jin would never know the smell of failure, but in fact, in her nearly 20-year career, the nation’s first love also had a role that was considered “impossible”. Specifically, it is the role of Yoo Mi Ho in the movie “White Night” with actor Go Soo. The film adaptation of the famous detective novel by writer Higashino Keigo was published in 1999 called Bach Da Hanh. In addition to White Night, this series also has 2 other film versions, a Japanese film and a television.
With her beautiful beauty, Son Ye Jin is said to successfully describe the character’s appearance, as if Yukiho (the character’s name in the original) stepped out of the page. The nation’s first love brings an enchanting beauty, fragility, sophistication but still extremely sharp and mysterious. She seemed to radiate aura when she appeared in White Night. However, Son Ye Jin was only successful in describing the appearance, with the inside of the character she is said to have not yet come. According to the original, Yoo Mi Ho is a woman with a holy appearance but a mean, disgusting, cruel, and cold-hearted inside. Of course, Son Ye Jin’s acting can’t be faulted, but she will succeed if “White Night” is an independent film that has nothing to do with Bach Da Hanh. Son Ye Jin has created a very personal Yoo Mi Ho, but it is not Yukiho that readers of the original know.
Son Ye Jin is beautiful, high-pitched…
But not right for the character
It is known that to play White Night, Son Ye Jin refused when invited to act in the drama “Iris”. After that, Iris became the super blockbuster of 2009 with the final episode rating up to 41.8%. Thanks to Son Ye Jin’s refusal, that year Kim Tae Hee got a work of a lifetime. Meanwhile, “White Night” sold less than 1 million tickets and was an unremarkable work in Son Ye Jin’s career.
