WartaGate.com – South Korean actress Shin Hye Sun has shared her experience starring in the latest drama, The Art of Sarah. She admitted that she felt confused when she first read the script.

In an interview with local media, Shin Hye Sun revealed that the script did not clearly explain the character she was supposed to portray. This actually made her even more confused as she tried to fully understand the role.

In the drama, she plays multiple identities at once: Mok Ga Hee, Kim Eun Jae, and Sarah Kim. She described Sarah Kim as the most ambiguous character she has ever portrayed throughout her career.

According to her, unlike her previous roles that had clear goals and emotions, Sarah Kim exists in a gray area between honesty and deception. This aspect made her feel both challenged and pressured as an actress.

Shin Hye Sun decided to focus on one key idea: the character’s sincerity in certain moments, even though much of her life is built on lies. She realized that Sarah Kim’s charm depends heavily on how convincingly she can portray that ambiguity.

Not only was the role emotionally demanding, but she also described it as mentally exhausting. Sarah Kim’s constantly shifting emotions required her to work extra hard to maintain consistency in her performance. She even admitted to frequently eating snacks on set to keep her energy up during filming.

Usually, Shin Hye Sun begins a project with a clear plan and deep understanding of her character. However, this time was different. Her curiosity about how Sarah Kim’s story would end became the main reason she accepted the role.

The Art of Sarah is an eight-episode Netflix drama that tells the story of a con artist named Sarah Kim. She lives a life full of lies, pretending to be the daughter of a conglomerate family.

However, her world slowly begins to fall apart when a detective named Mu Gyeong, portrayed by Lee Jun Hyuk, becomes determined to uncover the truth behind her false identity.

With its mysterious storyline and complex characters, The Art of Sarah has successfully captured viewers’ attention and become one of the most talked-about dramas at the moment.
