Go Min-si stands in front of a photo wall during a press conference of Netflix original Korean series, "The Frog", in Gangnam District, Seoul, Aug. 21. Yonhap Rising star Go Min-si revels in portraying roles that are markedly different from her real-life self.
In her latest Netflix original Korean series, "The Frog," which she calls her favorite show to date, she exemplifies this talent. "I want to be the kind of actor who makes audiences look forward to her next project," she said in an interview with local media on Monday. "While filming the show, I discovered new sides of myself that I didn't know existed.
If this experience can serve as a stepping stone for my next project, where I can showcase yet another aspect of my acting, I would be truly happy," she said. In this crime thriller, Go plays Yoo Sung-a, a mysterious visitor who disrupts the tranquility of a remote woodland motel. The eight-part series, released on Friday, marks the 29-year-old's latest Netflix project following her role in the apocalyptic horror "Sweet Home.
" During a conversation about casting for "The Frog," director Mo Wan-il, known for "The World of Married," mentioned seeing "a glimpse of someone whose thoughts and actions are unpredictable," Go recalled. At their second meeting, she wore a pair of heels, prompting the director's compliment. Her brief pause before responding, "I only wear them on special occasions," apparently revealed the character of Sung-a to Mo.
The director later told her this.
