[HanCinema's News] Kim Sejeong Talks About "Business Proposal"

In a press conference prior when "Business Proposal" began, lead actress Kim Sejeong stated that known tastes are more delicious. This humorous disposition has been maintained by the actress throughout the big rise of "Business Proposal" as she has also remarked how she was motivated to take the cliche-ridden contract-office-romance role in part because she would receive love in return. In a recent interview, Kim Sejeong expanded on these thoughts.

Explaining her prediction that "Business Proposal" would do better than expected, Kim Sejeong talked about how some people just liked to have certain itches scratched. Kim Sejeong stated that these expectations were still relatively modest ones. Kim Sejeong was as surprised as everyone else when "Business Proposal" doubled its television ratings in the last episode compared to the first.

Kim Sejeong refused to fall back into other cliches, namely that the strong performance of "Business Proposal" was due to everyone's hard work. However, she did note that she was quite happy the drama did so well. Kim Sejeong, still acknowledging that hard work was indeed done, did note that she took the success of "Business Proposal" as a sign that hard work as an actress was paying off well for her, and that she should continue to do more of that in the future.

Kim Sejeong said that she saw her character as being inherently pragmatic, and strived to make her seem like a realistic person despite the inherent absurdities in the premise. This allowed Kim Sejeong to not worry too much about the cliches inherent in "Business Proposal" and focus on giving a serious performance. Despite the cliche of not knowing how a partner feels, for example, Kim Sejeong played that off as her character being wise enough to know that she's not a mind-reader.

Kim Sejeong also wanted to cast off her girlish existing image. To this end, Kim Sejeong considers "Business Proposal" to have been a resounding success. Kim Sejeong was grateful to the "Business Proposal" webtoon for providing a means for her to expand on an existing character with her own personal flair, and discussed with excitement the prospect of new future challenges. Kim Sejeong will next appear in "Today's Webtoon" this coming December.
