Jeon Yeo Been shares character insights from Our Movie.

Our Movie follows Lee Je Ha (Namkoong Min), a film director with a past trauma, and Lee Da Eum (Jeon Yeo Been), an actress suffering from an incurable disease.

In the K-drama, Jeon Yeo Been plays Lee Da Eum, a terminally ill actress who becomes the lead for the first time as she nears the end of her life. 

The actress shared her reason for choosing Our Movie: "Namkoong Min sunbae's solid and delicately shining performance, and director Lee Jung Heum's unpredictable directing style." She also shared, "I really wanted to meet Lee Da Eum, who is full of life." "When I first came across Da Eum in the script, I thought she was like the sun."

"She's someone who not only shines herself but also brightens everyone around her with the energy she carries, someone whose every moment, from sunrise to sunset, is vividly beautiful."

Lee Daum is a character who, despite heading toward the final chapter of her life, possesses a bright and cheerful personality. Jeon Lee Daum as "someone who, more than anyone else, earnestly and with all her heart cherishes the dreams of today, of the moment. A person who seeks to embrace the brilliance and happiness of life with her whole being."

For this reason, she described Daum as "a person living vividly, who is difficult to define by any single genre or keyword." "To portray these aspects of Da Eum well, I focused on her inner world."

In the drama, Lee Da Eum is cast in the first lead role of her life for the K-movie "White Love". Taking on the role of an actress playing a character within another story, Jeon explained, "The protagonist of White Love is also in a situation similar to Da Eum's. Because of that, I ended up acting naturally as Lee Da Eum, who seamlessly blends into the movie."
