Exploring the Depths of Character: Yu Yeon-seok on ‘Sin and the Law Firm’
‘Sin and the Law Firm’ tells the story of Shin Irang, a lawyer who resolves the resentment of the deceased through possession and Han Na-hyun, an elite lawyer who stakes everything on winning. Yu Yeon-seok discussed his experience portraying a character with such a unique premise. He stated he fully embraced the opportunity, wondering when he’d again have the chance to so completely immerse himself in a role. He drew inspiration from observing multi-cast performers changing costumes and taking the stage, finding the concept appealing. He noted this was the first time he’d played such a diverse range of characters within a single work.
When asked about portraying the various spirits – from idol hopefuls to scientists – he explained he observed and listened to recordings of the original actors, incorporating their gestures and habits into his performance. He found each grab to be a fresh experience, unlike the familiarity that typically develops later in a drama. He expressed a desire to continue challenging himself with new characters and genres, believing his fans would support his artistic exploration.
