Lee Jin Ah Shares Thoughts About Her Roles In The Penthouse 3
Meanwhile, Lee Jin Ah talked about her roles in the recently concluded The Penthouse 3, where she played Shim Soo Yun. The K-drama actress shared:
"Neither my first shoot nor my last shoot felt quite real. From the very first shoot, I had to do a dramatic emotional scene. It's not easy to do an extreme emotional scene before you can build up experience with your character. As time went on, I became immersed into the character, until I'd spent a year and a half as Shim Soo Ryun. On our last shoot, it didn't feel real that this would be the last time I would be her. I still don't feel like ‘The Penthouse' is over."
Interestingly, Lee Ji Ah also played another character named Na Ae Gyo, who looked very similar to Shim Soo Ryun, in The Penthouse 3. The South Korean star said:
"The first thing I had to do was think carefully about the different lives that Na Ae Gyo and Shim Soo Ryun had led. Na Ae Gyo has hit rock bottom in her life and is rougher and bolder than the innocent and pure Shim Soo Ryun, who has lived her whole life cherished and loved. When the two of them met, Shim Soo Ryun still hadn't gone through any major events in her life yet."
Lee Ji Ah also reiterated why Shim Soo Ryun underwent many changes in The Penthouse 3. She stated:
"Shim Soo Ryun experiences so many things and changes the most of all the characters in the drama. She's a naive and innocent person in season one, but she also has an internal strength. In season two, I was able to show a more clever, resourceful Shim Soo Ryun, who went into hiding for two years as Na Ae Gyo. She takes more risks and gets involved in action scenes in order to get cathartic revenge. But in season three, she slowly becomes evil herself in order to get rid of evil."
