In the SBS Friday-Saturday drama 'Our Movie' (written by Han Ga-eun and Kang Kyung-min, directed by Lee Jung-heum), Jeon Yeo-been, who plays the role of a terminally ill actress named Lee Da-eum, has been captivating viewers by conveying the preciousness of life, sparking their affection episode by episode.
Previously, Jeon Yeo-been (as Lee Da-eum) shared at a press conference, "After finishing filming 'Our Movie', I felt the emotion of love grow inside me. I think Da-eum taught me this feeling, and I want to share it with everyone," expressing her deep affection for her character. True to her word, Jeon Yeo-been delicately portrays Lee Da-eum, a character for whom every moment of life is both a dream and reality, leaving a lasting impression on the audience.
Especially noteworthy is Jeon Yeo-been's portrayal of Lee Da-eum's resilient spirit, overcoming the life challenge of a terminal diagnosis and steadfastly pursuing her dream of acting. For Da-eum, whose time is limited, the profession of acting offers a perfect outlet to fulfill her many dreams by experiencing the lives of various people.
Thus, Da-eum has been filming over two hundred monologue videos in her hospital room and attending auditions despite her illness, vigorously dodging the fate of death assigned to her. Her desperate resolve to live, love, and act, despite her illness, combined with Jeon Yeo-been's solid energy, has not only captivated the fictional film director Lee Je-ha (played by Namkoong Min) but also the audience.
Moreover, on the day of the test shoot for 'White Love', fully prepared alongside her senior Chae Seo-young (played by Lee Seol), Da-eum's method acting, melting into her character with just one scene, hit the mark with investors. Jeon Yeo-been's tearful performance, embodying the character of Gyu-won and Da-eum herself, left a deep emotional impact.
In this way, Jeon Yeo-been is filling the ending pages of Lee Da-eum's story, presenting a new kind of terminal illness character and enhancing the unique sentiment of 'Our Movie'. The story of the beautiful youth, Lee Da-eum, spending her brilliant but limited time, as portrayed by Jeon Yeo-been, is gathering anticipation.
The moments full of life's joys and sorrows, as unveiled by the terminally ill actress Jeon Yeo-been, are broadcast every Saturday and Sunday at 9:50 PM in 'Our Movie'.
