Ku Hye Sun, “It will be a big challenge in my life”

Actress Ku Hye Sun suggested that she plays three roles in her film “Daughter”, as a producer, script writer, and actress.

Ku is presenting a new film one year after “The Peachtree” in 2012, drawing much attention to her career as a filmmaker.

 “Daughter” (produced by Ku Hye Sun film, Yes Production), produced and written by Ku, is a psychodrama that depicts a mother who gives her daughter an oppressive corporal punishment and her suffering daughter. Ku sends a message to society through the film.

The title of the film “Daughter” implicates Ku’s original idea of expressing a distorted education and love of a mother.

Starting from “The Madonna”(2008), Ku has built her career as a filmmaker by producing total five films: “Magic”(2010), “You”(2010), Fragments of Sweet Memories”(2012), and “The Peachtree”(2012), which created a huge sensation with an unusual story and beautiful images. Through her films, she has proven her capabilities as a filmmaker, and built her presence in Korean movie world. 

Notably, since Ku, who has shown her talent as a filmmaker, painter, and writer, has acted only for TV dramas so far, the new film is coming under the spotlight, as she is known to act in it. Fans’ expectations are heightening, for the news that Ku will come back as an actress after a long break. 

Shim Hye Jin who has been casted as the main role of film “Daughter”, is a leading actress who has a unique position in Korean film scene since 1989. Her filmography includes “The Marriage Life”(1992), “The Girl for Love and the One for Marriage”(1993), "The Ginko Bed”(1996), and “Green Fish”. 

Shim is casted as the role of the mother who forces an oppressive education, creating ensemble with Ku, who acts as her daughter who goes against the mother. 

Ku said, “I have refrained from acting for my own film, but I decided do so thanks to support from other filmmakers. I think it will be a big challenge in my life.” “Since I come back as an actress after a long break, I’ll do my best to live up to fans’ expectations”, added she.
