Shin Hye-sun, Interview with Lady Dua

The Netflix series 'Lady Doua' is a work that depicts desire, choices, and human duality, centering on a character who blurs the lines between reality and deception. Shin Hye-sun is receiving critical acclaim for her role as Sarah Kim, a mysterious figure with multiple faces. Through 'Lady Doua,' Shin Hye-sun has expanded her filmography, delicately portraying complex emotions such as coldness, composure, and anxiety.

Shin Hye-sun often chooses projects based on the appeal of the characters, but for 'Lady Doua,' she selected it because the events themselves were so intriguing, rather than the character alone. This was because she was curious about the development and conclusion of the murder case that begins with the death of a woman.

Regarding her portrayal of character transformation in the drama, Shin Hye-sun believed that a tone that could persuade viewers was the most important. She stated that the biggest challenge was to strike a balance, ensuring that the multiple personas were subtly different yet consistently felt like a single character overall, weaving together the different faces of the character with a single thread without being excessive or disconnected.

Shin Hye-sun viewed Sarah Kim as 'a person in the process of finding her identity' and felt that desires stemming from abnormal aspirations ultimately made the character feel empty. She added that she wanted to express the parts of the character that felt passionate yet slightly hollow.

Regarding her emotional performance, Shin Hye-sun explained that she tried to maintain a calm tone and manner for the character overall. Even in explosive scenes, rather than unconditionally maximizing the emotional intensity, she designed and controlled it in stages for each scene.
