K-Drama “Penthouse” Han Ji Hyun Chooses Herself As The Baddest Villain

SBS K-Drama Penthouse actress Han Ji Hyun revealed who she thought was worse between Joo Seok Kyung and Ha Eun Byul.

Recently, Han Ji Hyun, who played the role of Joo Dan Tae’s daughter, held an interview to celebrate the end of Season 2.

During the interview, she was asked how she felt playing the role of a bully amidst the recent school violence controversies.

There were some parts I was cautious about while acting, but I tried my best to make those scenes as intense as possible. I acted out those scenes a bit stronger than normal in order to gain the attention of the viewers.

She also gave her honest answer on who she thought was a worse character between Joo Seok Kyung and Ha Eun Byul.

When taking a look at their actions, Joo Seok Kyung is worse. At least Ha Eun Byul was good to her parents. Joo Seok Kyung didn’t have her parents or anything at all. Anything that gets in her way makes her annoyed and mad.

But ultimately, she chose herself as the worse character.

Joo Seok Kyung is more arrogant than Ha Eun Byul. She has a way of making things worse because she doesn’t get the bigger picture. Joo Seok Kyung is the one that led all the bullying and violence so she is worse than Ha Eun Byul.

On the other hand, Penthouse Season 2 ended with a 25.8% viewer rating according Nielson Korea.

Stay tuned for Penthouse Season 3 this June!
