Actress Jin Se-yeon shared her thoughts on the conclusion of "Love Prescription."

On the 20th, Jin Se-yeon met with StarNews at a café in Jangseungbaegi-dong, Dongjak-gu, Seoul, for an interview marking the finale of the KBS 2TV weekend drama "Love Prescription" (script by Park Ji-sook, directed by Han Jun-seo, hereinafter referred to as "Love Prescription").

"Love Prescription" is a family makeup drama about two families entangled in bad luck for 30 years who resolve their misunderstandings, embrace each other's wounds, and are ultimately reborn as one family.

Jin Se-yeon portrayed Gong Ju-a, a former medical student and now a clothing designer at Taehan Group. Gong Ju-a unflinchingly pursued her dreams and convictions while exuding an endlessly pure and innocent charm in matters of love. Especially when she faced the crisis of being fired due to an unexpected accident, she broke through head-on with her unique positive energy. After 14 years since the drama "The Masked Princess," Jin Se-yeon shared screen time with actor Park Ki-woong in "Love Prescription," presenting a "modern-day Romeo and Juliet." Park Ki-woong played Yang Hyun-bin, the executive director of Taehan Group's fashion division.

Jin Se-yeon debuted in 2010 with the SBS drama "It's Okay, Daddy-Daughter" and has since appeared in dramas such as "The Masked Princess," "Age of Passion: The Birth of a Hero," "Doctor Stranger," "Flowers of the Prison," "Grand Prince: A Love Story," "Selection: War of Women," and the film "Incheon Landing Operation."

-What has changed for you while working on this project?

▶I've been studying English more and trying golf, so my lifestyle pattern seems to have become healthier. I felt it was a waste of time just spending each day without purpose.

-What are your current interests as actress Jin Se-yeon?

▶I want to get better at golf. I also shop frequently at Olive Young. I enjoy looking at makeup products. I'm not quite a "makeup enthusiast," but I am very interested in makeup items.

-We're curious about the secret to maintaining your consistently elegant and beautiful appearance.

▶I often look for basic skincare products at Olive Young. Recently, I've been particularly checking out blushers. Since I choose basic items based on their ingredients, I don't necessarily use expensive ones.

-You once described yourself as a "quiet attention-seeker."

▶Rather than me acting out to get attention, I'd prefer people to notice me naturally. I'm not the type to use Instagram based on my personality, but I try to be more active during production periods.

-Before debuting as an actress, you had a preparation period for a girl group.

▶It lasted about six months, and there were many talented individuals. As an actress, I believe I received a great opportunity because results are immediately visible through filmography. It felt especially rewarding when the work I participated in was supported by audiences. In this project too, being cheered on for our couple gave me strength.

-You were given the title "Jamwon-dong Yuna" at your debut. You're also sometimes called an actress who is even more beautiful in person.

▶When I gave my first interview after debuting, a reporter called me "Jamwon-dong Yuna," and suddenly that title appeared. (Laughs) They said I looked better in person because the screen didn't show me well. I started dermatological care late.

-What kind of tag would you like to have now?

▶I'm not entirely sure about the characters or projects I want yet. I've learned to work hard with what's given and avoid becoming fixated on any particular role.

-What are your future personal plans?

▶I plan to rest and travel. Since the pandemic, I've only traveled once, so I want to travel diligently. My MBTI is ISFP, so I'm trying to move around as much as possible. I'm considering Japan, Australia, and various vacation spots.

-You currently have an elegant image, but what kind of actress do you want to become?

▶An elegant image might not always be seen as charming, so I also want to try more sophisticated acting. If this weekend drama allowed me to perform in a standard way, I'd like to take on diverse roles in various places such as OTT platforms. I want to work on modern and approachable projects like "My Unfortunate Boyfriend." I'm eager to explore different genres including thrillers and comedies.
