Jeon Do Yeon Responds To People Who Say She's Unfit for Romance Drama
In her guest appearance in "Yoo Quiz on the Block" last March 29, Jeon Do Yeon expressed her gratitude to the support she received for her latest work "Crash Course in Romance." It was her first romance genre after 18 years.
According to the veteran actress, everyone on the team was happy because viewers gave them more love than they deserved. However, she revealed that not everyone responded well, particularly to her return to the romance genre.
The award-winning actress confessed how she felt about the consequences she had to face before.
"I chose the film out of pure passion. But all the commercials I was in ended their contracts with me. At first, I didn't get the reason behind it, but slowly I understood that it was because I broke out of a certain image of the actress people expect."
Jeon Do Yeon bravely said, "It was hurtful but the experience made me unbreakable as well."
She added that there was a wide conception of viewing actresses as passive actors. But in her movie "Happy End," she led the scene and did her job as an actress, and with that, she wasn't discouraged by what others think, especially those who criticized her. She voiced out her frustration by bringing up the controversy about her eligibility to lead a romance drama.
"I am the same person I was before, but other people see me differently now that I'm in my 50s.
