[Edaily Starin Reporter Kim Hyun-sik] Actress Ha Yeon-joo breaks her long hiatus with ‘Without Blood and Tears.’

At the production presentation for KBS 2TV’s new daily drama ‘Without Blood and Tears’, which was broadcast live on YouTube at 11 am on the 22nd, Ha Yeon-joo said, “I have had several personal stories. “It’s been a long time since she’s been active, so she’s very unfamiliar,” she said of her appearance. He then expressed his determination, saying, “I prepared a lot to show a more in-depth and diverse side of myself than before.”

Ha Yeon-joo’s appearance in a drama comes about five years after the end of KBS 2TV’s daily drama ‘Left-Handed Wife’ in 2019. Ha Yeon-joo married her non-celebrity husband in 2021 during her gap year.

Ha Yeon-ju said, “It is a work with a strong story. “It will also be interesting to have a composition that crosses the past and present,” he said. About the character she plays, she said, “It’s not a stereotypical villain who only runs for revenge. “It’s cute in some ways,” she said, adding, “Even though she’s a villain, I think there are parts of her that viewers will sympathize with her inner story.”
