[Soundbite] Seol Hye-in(Lead Actress, "The World of Us") : "I was able to portray my character well because I tried to imagine what I would do if I were her."

"The World of Us" has been invited to eight film festivals overseas for its portrayal of how children communicate. Actress Kim Hye-soo is back in a comic role. She plays an extravagant yet immature actress suffering from the side effects of her plastic surgeries and later even becoming pregnant. Even though Kim has appeared in multiple productions so far, she has typically turned down offers to play an actress. But this role captivated her heart.

[Soundbite] Kim Hye-soo(Lead Actress, "Familyhood") : "Such things may sound light to other people, but I wanted to convey them in a more serious way."

As a veteran actress with 30 years of experience, Kim chose the role with extra prudence and waited patiently till the filming began after three years of delay.

[Soundbite] Kim Hye-soo(Lead Actress, "Familyhood") : "After doing something for more than ten years, you subconsciously develop your own principles. I realize more and more that I should be more prudent with each production."

"Family hood," a heartwarming story about a single woman who masks her loneliness behind her extravagant looks, opens on June 29.
