Lim Se-Mi Talks The Worst Of Evil
Screen Rant : What first drew you toThe high-risk of Eviland the use of Euijeong ?
Lim Se - mi : I breezed through the script . The tarradiddle felt somewhat familiar , but I opine it would be an interesting opportunity to re - guess this story with actors who are living in 2023 . I was also drawn to what Euijeong receive between Junmo and Gicheul .
Euijeong and Junmo are introduced as a loving duo , but the emphasis of his commission and length have pulled them apart . How would you draw their relationship as the show progresses ?
Lim Se - mi : It seems that the nigher they hear to be or the operose they endeavor to bring home the bacon the other somebody ’s nub , the more desperate and irreversible their relationship becomes . Even though they are married , I see Junmo and Euijeong ’s human relationship as a festering scar that has not been properly handle and heal . They seem lost despite their regard to mend their relationship .
Given Euijeong ’s career path , Gicheul does n’t seem like the kind of hombre she ’d normally go for . What does their past mean to her now ?
Lim Se - mi : I believe the past times must have been awful for Euijeong . Euijeong and Gicheul did n’t get to terminate their relationship on their own terms and never deal to treat each other as well as they wanted to . As much as Gicheul and his sister suffered unneeded pain in the neck when they were too young and innocent , I ’m certain that Euijeong got injure in her own ways .
I think reconnecting with Gicheul , Euijeong must have remembered how she try out to bury about him all those years and how much she regretted not extending her help in the past .
You have intense picture with both Ji Chang - wook and Wi Ha - jun . How do you build different dynamics with them , and what is your preferent part about working with this hurl ?
Lim Se - mi : Both Chang - wook and Ha - jun are astonishing thespian . I could n’t serve but be impressed whenever I see their action scene . I jazz just being around them because both of them were so attached to their roles . I also learned a lot from Chang - wook ; he apportion outstanding advice and plunk for me throughout , so I am grateful to him as a confrere . Interestingly , I shared a set more scenes with Ha - jun than with Chang - wook , who played my married man in the serial . Ha - jun is such a sugared soul , so I felt comfortable working with him .
Even though I did n’t have any sweet or romantic scenes with Junmo , throughout the yield , I kept in brain that there must be some contour of connecter that Euijeong must have with him that she never desire to let go . I thought whatever Euijeong had that Junmo lacked , and frailty versa , would inevitably make them loath to have go of each other . Despite the apparent resolution of a series of events , I felt that Junmo and Euijeong experienced an ever - widening gap between them as they found something that they could n’t provide each other .
As for Gicheul , the strong impression I had of him was the knob of the Gangnam Gang , who could never forget his first crush . Given this background , I thought it would be effective to establish their relationship , after they reconnect , by occasionally dash back to their past . At the same time , Euijeong take a whole step closer to Gicheul whenever she feel that Junmo was getting deeper in danger in his surreptitious assignment as Seungho and try harder to win Gicheul ’s heart .
Euijeong has to act a purpose with Gicheul , but she seems to be fall profoundly and deeply with him . Does she frustrate the item of no payoff ?
Lim Se - mi : I think everyone in the level has crossed the detail of no paying back . All of the characters in The Worst of Evil have . They can not return to how things were or end up finding themselves out of a situation that they desire . Has Euijeong foil the point of no return ? If Euijeong and Gicheul seem to be fall deeper for each other , then it is indeed the unfit of the worst , give Gicheul ’s storyline . But if you follow their account from Euijeong ’s point of view , I intend it may seem a little different .
What has been your most thought-provoking aspect to diddle so far inThe high-risk of EvilI ?
Lim Se - mi : Portraying her confusion was both the most engrossing and challenging for me . Euijeong forever finds herself in a berth where she can not express herself as she unfeignedly feels . She is always faced with a situation where she can not reveal her true intentions and has to hide and check back what she thinks or how she feels .
Euijeong is a cop , but she does n’t have as many chances to be involved in the probe . Are action scene something you ’ve make for , and do you hope to do more of that genre in the future ?
Lim Se - mi : Euijeong thinks that she is involve in the investigation , but I retrieve she ended up having dates with Gicheul more than she participated in the investigating . [ Laughs ] Well , it was part of her investigation .
I had one activity scene in episode 8 , when Haeryun , Gicheul , and Seungho all gathered in the Gangnam gang ’s office . It was edited out in the end , so Euijeong was portrayed as being protected by the two man . But it did not disrupt the overall flow of the story , so it turned out well . I do go for to have the opportunity to do a proper action projection with a female - contribute story before I become physically less capable and old . I ’m always open to fresh project .
You ’re currently filmingWonderful World . What can you recite me about that experience , your lineament , and your costars ?
Lim Se - mi : All of the roll member , including Kim Nam - joo , Kim Kang - woo , andCha Eun - woo , are work very hard on the production of the series . I recollect it will be release next yr . It also has an incredible history , so I hope the viewers will find it gripping .
