“Delightfully Deceitful” has dropped a new look at Chun Woo Hee as con artist Lee Ro Um!

tvN’s upcoming Monday-Tuesday drama “Delightfully Deceitful” is a thrilling revenge drama about con artist Lee Ro Um (Chun Woo Hee) who lacks empathy and attorney Han Moo Young (Kim Dong Wook) who is excessively empathetic by nature. In order to battle evil, these two polar opposites team up to form an unlikely alliance.

Chun Woo Hee described Lee Ro Um as “a character who only pays attention to situations and relationships that have effective value and are of help to her.” To put it simply, Lee Ro Um is someone who does not attempt to understand or sympathize with the emotions of others and is only focused on who and what benefits her.

Thinking back to when she was first introduced to the character, Chun Woo Hee commented, “I felt interested by the image of Lee Ro Um colorfully transforming. I was easily immersed into her longtime preparations for revenge and I started feeling exhilarated.”

However, the tricky part about portraying a role like this is having to empathize with a character who has no empathy. Regarding this challenge, Chun Woo Hee shared, “I thought a lot about the inability to empathize, how to convey the emotional spectrum of this character who is insensitive to others, and how much weight would be appropriate for this drama when transforming into diverse images.”

Chun Woo Hee elaborated, “In order to look like a different person at first glance, I used colors as accents to minimize overlap as much as possible for each character I transformed into. I am also trying to differentiate using suitable hair and makeup on top of that.”
