Singer and actress Lee Chae-yeon has captured two hares through ‘Budding Romance.’
Lee Chae-yeon took on the role of Yoo Chae-rin in the web drama ‘Budding Romance’ (written by Hwang Yoon-hee, Hwang Kyung-sung; directed by Hwang Kyung-sung) and delivered a lovely performance.
In the drama, Lee Chae-yeon delicately portrayed the life of the singer Yoo Chae-rin, who only lives a happy life on social media. She boasted her lively charm with a straightforward approach, not hiding her feelings for her crush. As the title ‘Budding Romance’ suggests, she delivered heartfelt confessions, providing excitement and emotion all the way to the final episode.
Lee Chae-yeon conveyed her feelings through her agency, saying, “This was the first drama that came to me in a moment when I thought acting was not my field. Thanks to the director’s generous praise and the fun filming set, I left with a good first impression of acting. I sincerely thank the viewers who watched me with fresh eyes.”
In particular, Lee Chae-yeon participated in singing OST Part.1 ‘Here I Stay’ and Part.7 ‘Just You,’ which adorned the beginning and end of ‘Budding Romance,’ further enhancing the immersion in the drama. ‘Here I Stay’ is a ballad genre that highlights a lyrical melody, evoking a nostalgic yearning among listeners. Lee Chae-yeon added significance by embarking on her first OST performance after her debut with this song. ‘Just You,’ inserted at the end of ‘Budding Romance,’ is a pop ballad that signals the beginning of love. She enriched it with her charming vocal tone.
Lee Chae-yeon is steadily following her path as an actress while continuing her main activities. In April, she made her debut in terrestrial drama through KBS 1TV’s youth disability awareness education drama ‘Let’s Dance,’ where she received favorable reviews for her role as the main character, Chung-ah.
