Kim So Eun is currently playing as Chu Ga Eul in KBS Boys Before Flowers and had made her debut through CFs in 2005 when she was in her 3rd year of junior-high. When the interview was done last Friday with Kim So Eun, she had just come off from a 2-day marathon filming session lasting till daybreak and fatique was etched all over her face. The intense filming schedule had caused So Eun to feel extremely lethargic but the continous high ratings have made it very satisfying for her.
When So Eun walks on the streets now, people now recognize her and would express, "it's Ga Eul, so pretty" with more and more people are also coming up to her, requesting for her to take a photo with them. "I do feel the popularity that I am getting now. I am very happy and it gives me energy when it happens." But the success did not come instantly until her roles in Iron Empress and Boys Before Flowers recently. So Eun started out with CFs and small roles in MBC dramas Sisters of the Sea and Sad Love Song in 2005. So Eun admitted she felt even more tired when the filming schedules for Iron Empress and Boys Before Flowers clashed and she had to rush from one location to the other. While she was the outgoing, brave, straightfoward Hwang Bo Soo (young Empress Chun Chu) in Iron Empress, she had to switch into a shy high-school girl in Boys Before Flowers, this frequent change of roles sometimes leaves her feeling confused. But thankfully, her run in Iron Empress is now over and she can focus fully on her role in Boys Before Flowers.
But frankly, who does Kim So Eun resemble more in real life between Hwang Bo Soo and Ga Eul? Kim So Eun replied tactfully, "When I am with my friends, I resemble Hwang Bo Soo. When I am by myself, I am like Ga Eul. When I meet people whom I am seeing for the first time, I don't really talk much. And when they review my scenes on the camera, I am so shy that I can't even watch myself on camera."
If you notice from last week, scenes of Ga Eul have increased tremendously. Fans of the Yi Jung - Ga Eul couple in the drama have even started calling them the So-Eul couple although at the present moment, it seems to be just one-way love by Ga Eul towards Yi Jung. The excellent chemistry showed by the both of them is perhaps underlined by the fact that both are actually classmates at Chung-Ang University, majoring in film studies. "We are just normal friends in school while we become colleagues at the film set. Compared to other cast members, its easier for us to strike a conversation and that explains our chemistry, I guess. We look out for each other and also crack jokes."
When asked who is her ideal type among F4, So Eun replied, "It's Goo Joon Pyo. He might look really perfect but surprisingly, he does have some flaws and areas where he could improve on. Guys like these look really charismatic to me. As for playboys like So Yi Jung, I will definitely not forgive them (smiles)."
