Jang Nara has shared her thoughts on her upcoming drama “My Happy Ending”!
“My Happy Ending” is a psychological thriller about a woman who faces a shocking truth after being betrayed by those she trusted. Jang Nara will star as the fiercely ambitious Seo Jae Won, who has been passionately chasing success after enduring an unfortunate childhood.
Although Seo Jae Won achieved her dreams after years of hard work stained with blood, sweat, and tears, her seemingly perfect life begins to fall apart after the hidden secrets of those around her—her supportive husband, father, and trusty colleagues—come to light one by one.
In newly released stills from the upcoming drama, Jang Nara makes the picture-perfect career woman as the stylish Seo Jae Won, who is both the self-made CEO of a successful furniture company and a popular influencer with over a million followers.
Whether introducing a new product to reporters or listening the opinions of the employees at her store, Seo Jae Won is passionate and industrious. In order to save time on her way to work, the busy Seo Jae Won forgoes her high heels—which she carries in one hand—in favor of sneakers, which speed up her commute.
Explaining why she chose to star in “My Happy Ending,” Jang Nara recalled, “At first, I received the script for about half of the entire drama. From an acting perspective, I thought it would be a major learning experience, and I was also really curious to find out what happened next in the story. What would Seo Jae Won do when she faced danger in her everyday life and could no longer trust the people she had trusted the most? And what kind of acting performance would I be able to give? I became curious and intrigued to find out.”
As for her character in the drama, Jang Nara shared, “I both pitied and loved the way Seo Jae Won is constantly endeavoring to survive. When I was acting, I put my focus on Seo Jae Won’s desperation to survive, even though she may seem weak and overpowered by her situation and the people around her.”
The actress continued, “Personally, I absolutely love the [psychological thriller] genre. What I worked hardest on was portraying Seo Jae Won, maintaining the suspense of the story, and depicting my character’s emotions.”
Meanwhile, the drama’s production team heaped praise on Jang Nara, commenting, “The way Jang Nara completely disappears into her character is amazing, and she’s flawlessly pulling off the role of Seo Jae Won in ‘My Happy Ending.’ She’s an actress whose focus is unparalleled.”
“Please look forward to the acting transformation of Jang Nara, who will lead ‘My Happy Ending’ with her deep and rich acting, as well as her unrivaled ability to pull off her character.”
“My Happy Ending” premieres on December 30 and will be available on Dramacool.
