Jin Se Yeon Talks About Portraying 2 Characters In "Born Again" + Describes How They're Similar And Different

Jin Se Yeon upped the anticipation for “Born Again”!

This upcoming KBS 2TV mystery melodrama is centered around the intertwined fates of a detective, the detective’s lover, and a serial killer who loved the detective’s lover. Their lives ended 32 years ago, but their fates have become entangled once again after being reincarnated into new lives. Jang Ki Yong, Jin Se Yeon, and Lee Soo Hyuk will each play two different characters across two separate lives.

On April 6, the actress spoke about the decision behind her appearance and shared thoughts about her characters.

“When I first read the script, I could really imagine the location of the drama’s background, and each character felt alive,” she began. “I was also really drawn to the charming concept of the connected souls.”

In the drama, Jin Se Yeon portrays two characters: Jung Ha Eun, the owner of a used bookstore who suffers from dilated cardiomyopathy, and Jung Sa Bin, an archaeologist who tries to uncover the stories behind dug-up remains. The actress explained, “Their appearances and personalities are really different. Ha Eun is girly, has a calm personality, and always wears skirts, whereas Sa Bin is more vibrant, a bit quirky, and wears comfortable pants.”

She continued, “But both of them have the same thoughts on a person’s soul. They’re similar in how they don’t have prejudice towards others and treat people the same way.”

Jin Se Yeon’s two characters will meet Jang Ki Yong’s and Lee Soo Hyuk’s two characters across different lifetimes to create a mystery melodrama.

“I think that ‘Born Again’ is of a unique genre,” she said. “It’s a story about how souls and reincarnation connect the past and present, so it’s a new kind of project. You’ll be able to watch with suspense how three people from the past and three people in the present meet and connect. Please look forward to it.”

“Born Again” premieres on April 20 at 10 p.m. KST and will be available with English subtitles on Viki. In the meantime, check out the latest teaser here!
