Actress Jo Bo Ah channels the essence of traditional Korean art in newly released behind-the-scenes photos from the upcoming Netflix series 'Tangeum', scheduled to debut on May 16.
In the revealed images, Jo Bo Ah flaunts a mesmerizing hanbok ensemble—wearing a white jeogori top paired with a dark navy skirt that exudes the serene elegance of the Joseon dynasty. Her gentle smile and emotional gaze combine to create a poignant ambiance that captivates viewers.
'Tangeum' is a historical mystery romance that narrates the tale of Hongrang, the son of the most influential merchant family in Joseon, who reappears after a 12-year absence with no recollection of his past. His half-sister Jae Yi is the only one who senses something amiss. Portraying Jae Yi, Jo Bo Ah brings depth and intensity to the character with a nuanced and vigilant portrayal as she seeks the truth behind her brother's vanishing.
Furthermore, additional behind-the-scenes snapshots capture Jo Bo Ah leaning against co-star Lee Jae Wook (playing Hongrang) with a radiant chemistry that hints at the strong camaraderie among the cast. On the other hand, another still depicts her attentively observing the monitor with a sharp, tense expression, intensifying curiosity about her character's emotional intricacies.
Recognized for her cheerful roles in past dramas, Jo Bo Ah is poised to showcase a remarkably different performance in Tangeum, marking a bold departure from her previous on-screen persona.
'Tangeum' is set to premiere on Netflix on May 16.
