Below is the full text of Kim Da-som's Q&A on the conclusion of 'Salon de Holmes'
Q. Thoughts on the conclusion of 'Salon de Holmes'
A. I feel like it ended too quickly, and I am sad. Thanks to everyone who showed interest, Mondays and Tuesdays were enjoyable.
Q. You played the role of 'Park So-hee,' the queen of part-time jobs raising a sick son alone. Were there any particular areas you focused on for your character?
A. To understand the character So-hee, I researched and watched interviews and documentaries about women in similar situations and sought advice from friends with various part-time job experiences. Physically, I lost weight rigorously to express So-hee, who is busy running around without a moment to eat. Internally, I concentrated on portraying So-hee as a more cheerful and bright character instead of one viewed with pity due to her difficult situation. I wanted to express the strong heart of a mother who cannot be weak, even when thinking about her son, Yul.
Q. The chemistry among the detective team stood out remarkably. Could you share about the atmosphere and interactions on set with your seniors?
A. We genuinely had fun filming. In the early mornings, good music played on set, and on days when filming finished early, I remember bonding over meals of sashimi that the lighting director, who enjoys fishing, personally brought to share.
Q. The drama features a satisfying revenge story against evils that could happen around us. Was there a specific episode that you particularly liked?
A. Until the mouse incident was revealed, there were strong comedic elements, so I filmed happily with laughter, and in the latter part of the drama, I focused and immersed myself more to express the thriller aspects. The episode I personally liked the most is the kidnapping episode of So-hee in episode 7 (laughs).
Q. What charm did you feel while portraying a character with a sharp edge when facing cases but warmth in front of her son?
A. It was a significant charm to play a character whose existence as a mother was kept secret until midway through the drama, where she appears to be tough at a young age but actually has a painful background.
Q. What have you learned while portraying the character So-hee, and what do you wish to learn?
A. I learned the resilience to live cheerfully and vigorously in any situation, and I want to learn to maintain a warm perspective and affection toward my surroundings, even in a fast-paced world.
Q. You are building a diverse filmography. Are there any acting challenges or roles you want to try in the future?
A. There are many things I have not yet tried, so there are so many roles I want to take on (laughs). It's hard to choose, but I would especially like to challenge myself in the romance, historical drama, and action genres.
