Kong Hyo-jin - an angel or a devil?
By Lily Lee | Published on
Often called as "Kongvely (Kong Hyo-jin + lovely)", actress Kong Hyo-jin is famous for her innocent smiles and adorable personality. She is known as a K-drama romcom queen but in her newest movie, there won't be any romantic comedy happening!

In the still cuts released for "Missing Woman", Kong Hyo-jin show herself in two totally different atmospheres. She plays Han-mae in the movie, an angelic nanny who turns out to be an evil kidnapper. It's the first time since her debut to display such a cold, heartless expression as a villain.
Director Lee Eon-hee praised Kong Hyo-jin saying, "Han-mae is not a consistent persona. She appears in the movie as how different people perceived her as. To act as Han-mae, Kong Hyo-jin had to be flexible, being able to portray many different, yet same character. She was able to express it well, and it was a pleasure working with her".
Kong Hyo jin illustrated her character and the movie in her words: "As you watch the movie, you will be wondering if she's good or bad or pitiful or even crazy - her real self is mysterious, but you will be able to figure it out. Even after everything was filmed, I can't define this character in one word".
As mentioned earlier, it is very unusual for our romcom queen to act a character as mysterious and frosty as Han-mae. This may be a change but we have a great trust in her acting skill to show us the new side of her as an actress.
