Kim Hye Soo and Jo Yeo Jeong Reunite After 24 Years in 'It's Not About Affairs Now', Showcasing Acting Synergy

Kim Hye Soo and Jo Yeo Jeong are currently generating significant buzz with their reunion in the Coupang Play series 'It's Not About Affairs Now', marking their first collaboration in 24 years. Their previous joint project was the 2002 drama 'Jang Hee Bin', and this long-awaited reunion has captured the attention of both the public and critics.

In 'It's Not About Affairs Now', Kim Hye Soo plays Park Kyung Hee, a successful interior influencer, while Jo Yeo Jeong portrays Ahn Soo Jung, a dermatologist living next door, showcasing starkly contrasting characters. Kim Hye Soo researched real influencers and participated in costume production for her role, and Jo Yeo Jeong added specific mannerisms like 'perhaps' to convey her character's anxiety. These detailed efforts contributed to both actresses ranking first and second, respectively, in the September film actor brand reputation rankings.

Bloggers have noted that unlike their previous encounter where Jo Yeo Jeong was a rookie and Kim Hye Soo a lead, both actresses now bring profound acting skills to create perfect synergy. The intentional use of costume and dialogue details to express character personalities was particularly impressive, according to these local observers.
