Jung Ryeo Won- Two films in just this year!
Jung Ryeo Won, who had been MIA since her appearance in the 2009 SBS drama ‘Ja Myung Go‘, is returning from her two-year hiatus with not just one, but two films this year. One film has already finished filming, and Jung is in the midst of filming another movie, which will open in box offices later this year.
The first movie is called ‘Sleeping with the Enemy‘, and it’s a comedy film set in 1950s Korea about villagers lobbying against soldiers who invaded their village during the Korean War. Jung plays the role of a naive country maiden.
Her second movie, ‘Pain‘, tells the story of a man who cannot feel pain (Kwon Sang Woo) and a woman who is unusually physically weak (Ryeo Won). A movie representative commented, “Actors have had a period of ascension, creating little room for actresses. This year, many starring actresses are having their comeback, so Chungmuro (the Korean movie industry) will become more abundant.”
