In the film, Kim Hye Soo plays detective Hyun Soo who tracks the girl who disappeared. She said, ŌĆ£The Day I Died came like a fate. I felt like the script strangely zoomed into my eyes,ŌĆØ explaining why he participated in the project. She added, ŌĆ£Before I figured out the genre or the story, I felt destined to do this. It was a very special experience.ŌĆØ Lee Jung Eun, who showed a strong presence in Parasite, plays a witness who lost her voice in an accident. She said, ŌĆ£I really enjoyed the works where Kim Hye Soo appears as a detective, so I wanted to take part. Most of all, the fact that this film is not just a crime genre but a script where sincerity and truth met intrigued me.ŌĆØ She also cited the question of whether she would be able to convey her characterŌĆÖs true feelings even when sheŌĆÖs not allowed to talk as another reason she joined the project. Roh Jeong Eui, who takes on the role of the missing girl, said that she chose this film because she could work with Kim Hye Soo and Lee Jung Eun. ŌĆ£There arenŌĆÖt many movies about people my age. So I wanted to do well in portraying a role similar to my age,ŌĆØ she added. The Day I Died is a work composed of a female director and female actors. However, Kim Hye Soo and Lee Jung Eun said that isnŌĆÖt why they decided to join the project. Lee Jung Eun said, ŌĆ£ItŌĆÖs not easy to meet a work where a female character is well established. But this described female characters quite delicately. I think people who wanted that teamed up,ŌĆØ adding that she would gladly join works where she could be of help in the future. Kim Hye Soo said, ŌĆ£I was attracted to the work itself. A sense of solidarity among people with no connection is one of the important messages.ŌĆØ She continued, ŌĆ£I donŌĆÖt choose the works based on genders. However, it is encouraging that there are more well-made female roles in contrast to the past when the female characters have appealed to the public with their looks. More and more female directors are taking on new challenges. I hope that they will have more opportunities to speak out as well-prepared filmmakers with strong internal stability.ŌĆØ Source (1, 2)
