Kim Sun Ah
1. What was your biggest concern when it came to portraying your character?
Kim Sun Ah: My character’s job revolves around understanding the psychology of others. For this role, I met experts in psychology to better fulfil my role as a counsellor. Through this, I’ve learned that many people deal with mental illnesses, more than I previously knew. I’ve learned a lot while preparing myself for this show.
2. Your previous dramas were successful and well-known. Do you feel any pressure starring in this one because of that?
Kim Sun Ah: I feel some pressure, but it is not overwhelming. I chose to act in my previous dramas because I wanted to shoot something fun and good. I don’t ponder on whether or not the show will be successful or not. Children of Nobody is a little darker than my previous shows, but it’s intriguing. I think people will watch it if it is entertaining.

Normally, I don’t think too deeply when choosing a character to play. It’s not easy getting a good role, and a good script. I think I’ve been lucky since I’ve played a lot of fun roles. I want to take on a larger variety of roles, and I’m grateful to be a part of this drama series.
