Cha Joo Young And Lee Hyun Wook Confirmed To Star In New Historical Drama

TV/Film

Oct 26, 2023

by S. Kim

 

Actors Cha Joo Young and Lee Hyun Wook will star in tvN’s new historical drama “Won Kyung” (romanized title).

“Won Kyung” tells the story about the fiery life of Queen Won Kyung, a kingmaker who dreamed of a new world in the early Joseon Dynasty and made her husband Lee Bang Won a king with whom she shared the power of the throne. Although she was recorded in historical records only as “King Taejong’s wife” or “Mrs. Min” without her full name, the drama sheds light on Queen Won Kyung, who lived an independent life without losing herself despite devastating betrayals and harsh reality.

“The Glory” star Cha Joo Young will take on the role of Won Kyung. Having been born as the daughter of the Yeoheung Min family, one of the 15 major families that can marry into the royal family in Goryeo, Won Kyung is an intelligent and self-confident woman with a dream of changing the world. Won Kyung makes her husband Lee Bang Won the king of Joseon, and together they create a regime. However, Lee Bang Won betrays her for other women and destroys her father’s family, but Won Kyung never compromises or give ways to betrayal and conflict.

Lee Hyun Wook will play the role of Taejong Lee Bang Won, who is Won Kyung’s husband and the third king of Joseon. Lee Bang Won is a self-conscious man who grew up in the countryside and marries the upper class woman Won Kyung. Lee Bang Won is also the embodiment of the desire to become a great king in order to justify his rebellion, be recognized by his father, and overcome his insecurities about his background.

Cha Joo-young "'Am I Won-kyung?' ‘Distant view’ was so elaborate that it made you wonder”

 

 

Cha Joo-young plans to meet viewers in a historical drama in 2024. She plays the main character in the tvN/TV drama 'Wonkyung (元敬)', which is scheduled to be released this year. 'Wonkyung' is a romantic historical drama depicting the marital relationship between Queen Wongyeong, the woman of Lee Bang-won (played by Lee Hyun-wook) and the 'kingmaker', and is one of the most anticipated works of 2024. How did you want to portray Won-kyung, your character in the play?

 

▶ I had many conversations with the director. I thought Queen Won-kyeong was strong on the inside, and she seemed to have a personality that showed her strength in the situations she was in. I don't know how to portray her in terms of her inner abilities, but I didn't want to show her only in terms of her appearance. There were sad and difficult situations and situations that made me angry but had to be let go. In that part, I wanted to show emotional acting.

 

-Wonkyung, the title role of 'Wonkyung', is a person who has actually experienced a lot. In addition to the melodrama, there must have been many crisis situations. How much did you empathize with the characters in the play?

 

▶ It’s a situation where there is a lot of empathy. Since I started filming, I have been living in the distance every day. 'Am I Won-kyung?' It makes me want to. When I read the script, I feel empathy. Actually, I have many emotions. When I look at my co-star, (Lee) Hyun-wook, I feel many emotions. I hope that the emotional scenes are conveyed well to the viewers.

 

Spoiler

 

-Won-kyung, a character who has already appeared in several historical dramas. Are there any actors you referenced for this role?

 

▶ I couldn’t help but refer to it. However, beyond that, I did not try to interpret what my seniors did any further. I tried to refer to the tone of voice, situation, etc. Nothing more than that. I want to give it a little more variety. The idea was to create our own distant view, the distant view of ‘distant view’. I can't tell you much because I'm currently filming, but I'm creating Cha Joo-young's own distant scenery.

 

 

-What kind of results do you want to achieve through ‘Long View’?

▶ I am becoming very cautious. It hasn't been broadcast yet. So I think it would be difficult to say anything hastily. However, I hope people say, ‘You worked hard,’ ‘You put in a lot of effort,’ and ‘You put a lot of effort into it.’

 

-You even got to play the lead role in a historical drama with ‘Wonkyung’. I feel like a full-length historical drama would also work well. If you were offered an offer to appear in a full-length drama in the epic historical drama and modern drama genres at the same time, which genre would you choose?

 

▶ It is true that historical dramas are physically difficult. Still, the fantasy that historical dramas provide is interesting. If two genres of work are proposed at the same time. In that case, I think I would also be interested in a historical drama. I want to try an authentic historical drama. I also want to try historical dramas that involve battles and wars. Ready!

 

-Cha Joo-young, who will show a new appearance with a new work this year. It will be different from last year. Will anything be different in 2023 and 2024?

 

▶ I thought I might not be able to work if I kept the way I looked at my work before. I'm trying to expand my thinking further. I think things have changed a bit in that respect.

 

 

-I heard that the fans’ love for Cha Joo-young is very big. Is there anything you would like to say to her fans?

 

▶Thank you always. What am I saying, how can I like it so much? I try to keep my words and actions together. I don't like telling fans what I'll do for them just by saying words. As a result, there were some things I wasn't good at expressing. Fans give me blind love. I am truly grateful. So I think the only way is to repay them with my work. Of course, I also want to do well for my fans. What I can do for you right now is to act well in your work. I want to say thank you to my fans.

 

-Do you have any plans for how you will spend 2024?

▶ When it comes to planning, of course the ‘distant view’ comes first. I'm also working hard on filming. I will do my best to meet the viewers in a good way.

 

-Finally, is there anything you would like to say?

▶ I’m working really hard. Even though I may be lacking, I am confident in the team I work with. I'm putting a lot of effort into it. I'm trying to make sure my efforts don't go to waste. I hope you look forward to my future work. And you can look forward to the next one as well. I will work hard and stand in front of you.
