Jeon Mi Do Reveals Crying at Son Ye Jin’s Wedding – Here’s Why
Jeon Mi Do talks about working alongside Son Ye Jin and Kim Ji Hyun in JTBC's "Thirty-Nine" and dishes out what happened during BinJin's wedding.
From her breakthrough performance in "Hospital Playlist," where she played the role of neurosurgeon Chae Song Hwa, the 39-year-old beauty proved her versatility as an actress after landing the role of terminally ill Jung Chan Young.
During her interview with SPOTV news, the actress shared her thoughts regarding her experience filming the melodrama and more.
Jeon Mi Do Saddened by Jung Chan Young's Fate in 'Thirty-Nine'
The actress admits to crying buckets after watching the "Thirty-Nine" finale, which featured her character's death.
Jeon Mi Do shares that "it felt really strange" and "a bit weird" where it came to the point that she didn't feel like watching herself but Jung Chan Young.
In JTBC's melodrama, her character plays an acting teacher whose lifelong dream is to become an actress.
Unfortunately, it was cut short after being diagnosed with a terminal illness.
To recall, her two best friends, Cha Mi Jo (Son Ye Jin) and Jang Joo Hee (Kim Ji Hyun), want her to become the happiest terminally ill patient in the world; hence they help her fulfill her final wish.
Another character close to Jung Chan Young is her lover Kim Ji Seok, portrayed by Lee Moo Saeng.
As translated by a media outlet, Jeon Mi Do confessed that she had concerns about how people would take their on-screen relationship but says it was written from another perspective.
In addition, the actress says that she "felt that it made her a more realistic character," adding, "Since she isn't perfect in every way or always calm, the fact that she had that foolish side to her felt realistic."
To recall, "Thirty-Nine" faced backlash after being accused of romanticizing extramarital affairs between Jeon Mi Do and Lee Moo Saeng's character.

She also revealed that Son Ye Jin even asked her, "Why are you crying?'"
