Oh Yeon-seo, "I would like to try a Chinese historical if I can"

Actress Oh Yeon-seo is beautiful.

She starred in the recent drama "Shine or Go Crazy" as Princess Sin Yool and a man in disguise. She has been successful in every drama in a leading role, such as the recent "Shine or Go Crazy", "Oh Ja-ryong Is Coming" and "Jang Bo-ri Is Here!".

It's not just the percentage that proves her reputation. She's never had a criticism about her acting, either. Oh Yeon-seo has the power to bring people to the TV despite the other competitive dramas broadcasting in the same time frame.

"I've been very busy for the past few years. I still have a lot to learn, but I've been lucky a numerous times until now. I'm overwhelmed sometimes. I feel grateful for the director and writer who chose me and the fans who have supported me until now".

She's starred in nothing but modern dramas up to now and she has a strong image of sophistication about her, so we weren't sure about her in a historical drama.

"The historical made it more desperate. In modern dramas, you can meet someone else right away, but in a historical, you're set with someone and it's not easy for your partner to change due to status systems and fight for authority. It's like the end of the world. I think those thoughts made it easy for me to concentrate".

She's only been at MBC. She's taking it slow from daily dramas, weekend dramas and weekday dramas. She's being called the 'MBC worker' because of her activeness there.

"I am happy MBC loves me so much. I am grateful for the nickname, too. I stay close with everyone there and my house is in Ilsan so MBC feels like my home. It takes time to get close to the staff when you start a new drama but I am already close with them".

Doesn't she want to try a movie?

I'll be there if anyone needs me. An actress shines when she's acting. I always want to work and I am always prepared. I have good energy. I was worried about my thick legs but a doctor said I'll live long with thick legs. I have never passed out while working, either. I don't mind dramas or movies. I can do it all".

What character does she want to try?

"I want to try a lot of characters. For example, Na Sang-sil from the drama "Fantastic Couple". I watched "Miss Granny" recently and Shim Eun-kyung was so cute. I also feel a Chinese historical might not seem like a bad idea. It's fancy and it'd be an experience for me".
