'Building Owner' Shim Eun-kyung Captivates the Home Theater with Transparent Madness in Just 2 Episodes

Actress Shim Eun-kyung made a stunning return to the home theater after 6 years through tvN's new Saturday-Sunday drama 'How to Become a Building Owner in South Korea'. In just 2 episodes, she showcased a 'transparent madness' that breaks the existing villain formula, sending chills of fear through the viewers.

Proposed 'Cuffs & Makeup'... The Secret Behind Shim Eun-kyung's Villain Build-Up

In this work, Shim Eun-kyung transformed into her first villain 'Yona', demonstrating meticulous character analysis. Notably, the right shirt cuff of Yona captured in episode 1 is a detail proposed by Shim Eun-kyung herself, referencing the film 'A Clockwork Orange'. The bizarre eye decoration with sharp pupils visually maximized Yona's duality.

Additionally, the makeup that emphasized a worn-out atmosphere by adding red shades around the eyes was also Shim Eun-kyung's idea. She stated, "I wanted to reveal Yona's duality, which is both chilling and childlike," completing a unique villain character that is "more terrifying because she looks harmless."

"If you sign, it's 1.4 billion" → "Let's forget about it"... Leading the Tension with Overwhelming Acting

Yona's unpredictable actions heightened the tension of the drama to its peak. In a scene where she threatens with a bright smile and a low voice during a call with Gi Soo-jong (played by Ha Jung-woo), or when she flips her words immediately after making a shocking offer of "If you sign, it's 1.4 billion," it sent chills down the viewers' spines.

In episode 2, the enormous ambition of 'Real Capital', to which Yona belongs, began to reveal its true nature. The relentless march to swallow the Jeong Chang-soo building, followed by the Seo-yoon building and the land of Jeon Yang-ja (played by Kim Geum-soon), has officially begun. Notably, even under the pressure of her superior Morgan (played by Miyabi), her calm remark, "Wait, take it easy," revealed her chilling determination.

Revealed 'Pure Evil' Under Headquarters Pressure... Exploding Expectations for Future Developments

Even under the headquarters' stringent conditions to complete the redevelopment project within legal boundaries and the crisis of being subject to disposal in case of failure, Yona's composure remained solid. Shim Eun-kyung described Yona as "a mysterious character whose inner thoughts are hard to read and whose actions are unpredictable," amplifying curiosity about the character.

Having proven her irreplaceable presence in just 2 episodes, attention is focused on how much more destructive performance Shim Eun-kyung will showcase in the future. tvN's 'How to Become a Building Owner in South Korea', depicting the struggles of a financially burdened building owner, airs every Saturday and Sunday at 9:20 PM.
