"This was a drama that all the actors and staff members put a lot of effort into filming and I'm so, so thankful that it feels like we were rewarded with much love from viewers. I hope this project is remembered as one that will remain in your hearts for a long, long time," she said.
It is safe to say that the actress gave her all while making the drama as she breathed life to NJ and transformed herself into a lovable and bright character. Per Roh Jung Eui, she focused on her character's emotions and learned how to step back instead of feeling inferior.
Roh Jung Eui Was Worried About This
Though she quickly adopted on Our Beloved Summer's set, the actress reportedly felt a little worried as she had to bleach her hair for the first time. Since she had to follow the character's styling, she reportedly worked hard and showed the perfect aura of a top idol.
"Since it wouldn't make sense in the drama if my roots were grown out, I had to bleach my hair every two weeks. My hair kept breaking, so I was able to experience a bit of the pain that idols go through," she explained.
Still, the viewers loved her style and told her it suited her, making her efforts definitely worth everything.
