[HanCinema's News] Kang So-ra Talks About "Strangers Again"

In a recent interview, Kang So-ra discussed her experiences as the leading actress on "Strangers Again" which was her first project after giving birth to a daughter in 2021. In "Strangers Again" Kang So-ra played a divorce lawyer who through circumstance ends up working with her ex-husband, who is also a divorce lawyer, in a professional capacity. Kang So-ra claimed that her actual personality was about fifty percent the same as her character.

Kang So-ra's favored means of describing her character was as a person who could be brutal as necessary, even when her partner isn't ready for unpleasantness just yet. Kang So-ra claimed that she's also straightforward- but not as fearless as her character is when it comes to pressing ahead even after she's been hurt. Kang So-ra also discussed her leading co-star Jang Seung-jo, whose personality type is MBTI compared to her INFP.

Kang So-ra described their first meeting together as requiring bravery to unwind the mood. The two of them met together while filming "Secret Zoo" back in 2018, though this was an ensemble piece without too much direct screentime together. Still, Kang So-ra claimed that she thought his smirking acting style was quite good and that she would like to work with him again someday.

Jang Seung-jo didn't like discussing his performance with Kang So-ra because, from his perspective, his character as he sees himself is quite different from how Kang So-ra's character sees him. This made discussing their work difficult, although Kang So-ra claimed that these clearly defined standards allowed for an enjoyable filming experience. Apparently the pair didn't even discuss children that much, although Jang Seung-jo has a son and daughter of his own.

For her own part Kang So-ra said that she understood better after getting married just how precious parents are. This was because Kang So-ra lived with her parents before getting married, and only noticed all the little things they did to help her once they weren't in the same home anymore. Kang So-ra stated that while she had work/life balance before, these days she has to flip a switch between personal and professional, and expects that this will be her best approach going forward.
