Honor's Seohyunwoo, Inner Intimacy with Lee Nayoung

Actor Seo Hyun-woo successfully concluded the drama 'Honor: Court of Women' by taking on the role of 'Park Je-yeol,' a character who hid his past and laundered his identity as a prosecutor, showcasing his irreplaceable acting skills. He led the drama each episode with overwhelming tension and exuded a unique aura that psychologically pressured his opponents amidst fierce confrontations with the main characters. With such excellent character portrayal, he solidified his position as a master of genre dramas, receiving praise for breaking his own record for a career-defining role.

For the character Park Je-yeol, Seo Hyun-woo paid attention to acting details, such as not exhaling loudly. He studied the feeling of attacking opponents with sharp lines after gazing at them like a predator luring its prey, and put effort into creating an unpredictable rhythm and tempo, making it unclear when he would strike.

Regarding the "root of evil" for Park Je-yeol, Seo Hyun-woo interpreted it as stemming from a strong desire to control and possess others. He explained that the belief that he was a victim, due to not being given enough trust as a lover in his childhood, grew into anxiety, a sense of entitlement, and inferiority, which then transformed into distorted conviction that morphed into twisted ambition for power and control.

Seo Hyun-woo revealed his differentiation strategy for why Park Je-yeol, despite sharing the commonality of being a "corrupt prosecutor" with his previous role as Chief Prosecutor Nam Du-heon in 'The Fiery Priest 2,' displayed a distinctly different character. While Nam Du-heon was a humorous character who revealed his inner thoughts, Park Je-yeol focused on subtle facial expressions, gaze, and unpredictable breathing to conceal his true feelings. Externally, unlike Nam Du-heon's loose suit fit, Park Je-yeol's tight, custom-made attire conveyed a sense of self-control.

Regarding how he returns to daily life after emotionally taxing filming, Seo Hyun-woo stated that he considers it important to "reset his emotional balance to neutral." He revealed that after filming heavy and serious scenes, he consciously communicates cheerfully to boost his energy, and during light and bright scenes, he calmly focuses to lower his tension, thereby managing his mental health.
