Jeon Do-yeon surprised by rave reviews for her 'Possible Love' role

  • On Netflix last week, the Korean film "Possible Love" premiered, starring Actor Jeon Do-yeon as the wife of a laid-off factory worker. Directed by Director Lee Chang-dong, the drama explores two couples from starkly different social strata.
  • The film marks Lee's first feature in eight years since the 2018 masterpiece "Burning." It reunites Lee and Jeon nearly 20 years after their collaboration on the award-winning "Secret Sunshine."
  • Jeon described the filming as "magic," noting the narrative flowed naturally without intense dramatic events. The production won the Silver Lion Grand Jury Prize at this year's Venice Film Festival.
  • As "Possible Love" serves as South Korea's official submission for the 2027 Academy Awards, Jeon remains pragmatic regarding potential nominations. She stated that winning an award does not "change who I am."
  • Jeon expressed a desire to be a "responsible actor," focusing on conveying character emotions rather than aesthetics. She hopes the film's international reach helps Korean cinema transcend language barriers and reach global audiences.
