Actress Kim Hyeon-ju has completed preparations to fill both the theater scene and living rooms in October.

"The Fall of Paradise" is a psychological thriller that begins when Ryu Sun-woo, whom his mother Ryu So-young believed dead after losing her son in a camping school bus disappearance incident nine years ago, miraculously returns alive.

Kim Hyeon-ju's October is heating up. From "Ryu So-young" in "The Fall of Paradise," which opens on October 21, to "Yoo So-ran" in the tvN 20th Anniversary Special Project drama "100 Days of Lies," which premiered on the 10th, she is meeting audiences and viewers simultaneously by showcasing completely different faces in two works.

First, in "The Fall of Paradise," Kim Hyeon-ju plays "Ryu So-young," a mother thrown into confusion as her son, lost nine years ago, returns. Rather than erupting with intense emotions, she depicted the character's complex inner world convincingly through delicate acting that deeply suppresses feelings. Her dense and passionate performance, conveying the weight of sorrow solely through subtle expressions and gaze, garnered early enthusiastic response after being screened at the 51st Toronto International Film Festival and the 31st Busan International Film Festival. Director Yeon Sang-ho expressed his trust in a Q&A session with audiences at the Busan International Film Festival by citing the topic he discussed most with actress Kim Hyeon-ju regarding her acting, stating, "She created that subtle line well and delivered an acting performance that can be interpreted in various ways."

During the same period, Kim Hyeon-ju can also be seen on television. In "100 Days of Lies," set in Keijo during the Japanese colonial period in 1932, she takes on the role of "Yoo So-ran," a sniper for the National Salvation Group who wields a gun for revenge. From the cold aura hidden behind her elegant exterior to her boldness, she captured viewers' attention with flawless acting from the very first episode.

Meanwhile, "The Fall of Paradise" will be released in theaters nationwide on October 21.
