Won Ji An Shares Keywords To Describe Her Role In Upcoming Vampire Drama "Heartbeat"

Won Ji An has dished on her upcoming role in “Heartbeat”!

KBS2’s upcoming Monday-Tuesday drama “Heartbeat” (also known as “My Heart Is Beating”) tells the romance story of half-human and half-vampire Seon Woo Hyul (2PM’s Taecyeon), who was unable to become human due to a one day difference amidst 100 years, finding true warmth as he starts to live together with Joo In Hae (Won Ji An), a woman who has no humane side.

On June 8, the drama released more stills of Won Ji An as Joo In Hae, a school nurse and guesthouse owner with a colorful personality.

Ahead of the “Heartbeat” premiere, Won Ji An shared why she chose to star in this drama saying, “I was positive that this was a project viewers can watch enjoyably and comfortably.”

Regarding her similarities with Joo In Hae, Won Ji An revealed, “Regardless of whether she does well or not, she tries her best with tasks she’s assigned.” She added, “What’s different is that she’s much more self-sufficient than me.”

Won Ji An chose active communication with the director as the focus of her acting and explained, “Even before we began, I spoke with the director about the character’s initial set-up. Since this is a project that incorporates the comedy genre, we decided on a direction that wasn’t too heavy and I also wanted to film enjoyably.”

To summarize Joo In Hae’s story, Won Ji An chose the key terms “bravery,” “pocket watch,” and “my heart is beating.” The actress elaborated, “Even in fearful and disadvantageous situations, she speaks honestly and says what needs to be said. She’s an incredibly courageous character. To In Hae, who’s lived alone after separating from her family early on, a pocket watch is the only clue she has left regarding her family. Please pay attention to and show interest in how the meaning of family becomes newly engraved in the future through this link.”

Won Ji An concluded, “A big change is coming for In Hae, whose incoming first love will have a profound impact on her life. The sentence that explains this expression in one go is ‘my heart is beating.'”

“Heartbeat” premieres on June 26 at 9:45 p.m. KST and you can catch the latest teaser here!
