SEOUL, March 31 — Dispatching assassins is easy, but handling her moody teenage daughter is impossible: one of South Korea’s top actresses is back with a new action movie, blending killer fight scenes with parental angst.
“I’m not a killer by profession, but I’m also living a very dual life — there is my life as an actress, and there’s that life as a mother,” said Jeon, who like her character Boksoon has a teenage daughter.is a major departure from Jeon’s previous work, mostly serious dramas in which she plays marginalised, persecuted characters.
“Taking on a range of characters, often dealing with complex emotions and feelings, like peeling the layers of an onion, Jeon Do-yeon’s performances get to the core of what drives her characters,” Jason Bechervaise, a Seoul-based film scholar, told AFP. “It is inspiring to see Jeon carve her own path in a patriarchal society, where female celebrities in their mid-twenties are labeled ‘hags,’” Areum Jeong, a film expert and visiting scholar at Robert Morris University, told AFP.
“With work, I can come up with solutions on my own. But when it comes to a child, there are... things I cannot control.”
