"Chilling palace intrigue with Chuu and Sung Joon" Yeom Seung-yi, surprise casting as Queen in 'Gwangan'

[OSEN=Reporter Choi Yi-jeong] Actress Yeom Seung-yi appears in the short drama 'Gwangan: The Crown Prince's Woman' and transforms into a queen possessing elegance and coolness.

'Gwang An: The Crown Prince's Woman' is a short drama based on the popular webtoon of the same name, 'Gwang An'. It depicts the precarious and unpredictable palace romance between Crown Prince Lee Hyun (played by Sung Joon), who is called 'Gwang An' because he has crazy eyes, and Eun Woo (played by Chuu), an assassin who infiltrates the palace to assassinate him.

In the drama, Yeom Seung-yi takes on the role of the 'Queen,' a figure who holds immense power within the palace and stands in a chilling confrontation with Crown Prince Lee Hyun. Standing at the center of palace intrigue to protect her young son's safety and power, she displays a solid side, harboring cold-blooded decisiveness behind her dignified and elegant demeanor.

The Queen, portrayed by Yeom Seung-yi, is a key character who orchestrates the narrative tension of the entire drama by keenly monitoring and keeping Crown Prince Yi Hyeon's every move in check from the pinnacle of power. She is expected to maximize viewer immersion by expressing the complex inner turmoil of a character, a blend of political ambition and maternal instinct, through delicate and restrained acting.

Yeom Seung-yi, who is taking on the challenge of acting in a historical drama through this project, is expected to bring the character of the Queen to life based on her distinctive antique visuals and wide acting range. Attention is focused on Yeom Seung-yi's performance, as she is set to deliver a fresh impact with her sharp gaze toward power and weighty charisma.

Yeom Seung-yi is a talented actor who has steadily built a filmography across theater, the stage, and television, appearing in works such as the play 'Shear Madness,' the web drama 'Gadoori Raw Fish Restaurant,' tvN's 'Please Sober Up' and 'Go to Work Tomorrow!', and the films 'Underground Idol' and 'Wife.' Having proven his stable acting skills and charm as an actor, expectations are high for the new side he will show in this project.

Meanwhile, the short drama 'Gwang An: The Crown Prince's Woman,' featuring Yeom Seung-yi, will be officially released on the Lezhin Snack platform on the 22nd at 5 p.m.
