Actress Cha Min-ji of 'Queen's House' is firmly leading the narrative of the drama with her detailed emotional lines and inner performance.
Cha Min-ji plays the role of family medicine doctor Do Yu-kyung in KBS 2TV's 'Queen's House' (written by Kim Min-joo / directed by Hong Seok-goo and Hong Eun-mi / produced by Flying Entertainment and Ascendio), authentically portraying the life of a character who has quietly endured hardship and emotional repression in her marriage with her husband Hwang Gi-man (played by Kang Sung-min). While suppressing her emotions in her marriage, Yu-kyung embarks on a journey to find her own life after deciding to divorce due to her husband's truth of being infertile, his debt issues, and emotional oppression from her in-laws. The narrative of a character who transforms subjectively while escaping a life filled with repression and sacrifice gains persuasion through Cha Min-ji's profound performance.
In recent broadcasts, the main narrative unfolded around Yu-kyung returning to her parents' home after the divorce, collecting herself and working to heal while facing her wounds. In this process, Cha Min-ji delicately expressed Yu-kyung's complex inner self through restrained dialogue tone, eye acting, and breaths infused with emotional aftereffects. In particular, the line, "After deciding to divorce, I feel like the tight screw has come loose," serves as a key scene that represents Yu-kyung's inner psychology, where Cha Min-ji conveyed the poignant emotional line with a calm yet lonely gaze, enhancing the emotional density of the drama.
Moreover, in the scene where Gi-man and his creditor, Mr. Hong (played by Kim Yong-ho), visit her parents' home together, Yu-kyung boldly declares she is no longer the Yu-kyung of the past, depicting her character's transformation and growth. Her expressive power captures genuine feelings that rise from deep within, even in extreme emotional situations, without being exaggerated. This moment showcases Cha Min-ji's true talents as she organically connects the flow from crumbled emotions to firm decisions, completing the character of Yu-kyung in a multi-dimensional way.
A representative from the agency noted, "Cha Min-ji has been engaging in meticulous script analysis and emotional adjustments since before filming to intricately build the inner world of the character Do Yu-kyung," and added, "As the drama progresses, Yu-kyung's emotional lines, which deepen even further, will unfold convincingly through Cha Min-ji's highly immersive performance."
Cha Min-ji's unique acting style, which persuades without exaggerating emotions, is firmly driving the immersion of 'Queen's House'. As each episode airs, the emotional lines that Cha Min-ji constructs for Yu-kyung are becoming richer, and he is solidifying his presence as a key figure responsible for the emotional curve of the drama.
Meanwhile, KBS 2TV's 'Queen's House' airs every weekday at 7:50 p.m.
