Yeon Mi-joo Attracting Attention as 'Chubby' Girl in 'The Accidental Couple'

What makes the KBS2 drama "The Accidental Couple" more entertaining is its many unique supporting characters, including the two of Gu Dong-baek's bosses: the team's director (Yoon Joo-sang), with a signature laugh, and manager (Kim Kwang-gyoo), a famous sycophant.

Park Gyeong-ae is another notable character who's drawing growing attention for her portrayal of a funny, vain office girl.

Dong-baek fell for her at first because she is known to be the most beautiful girl in the post office where Dong-baek works, but she hurt his heart by ignoring his feelings. But things changed when Dong-baek became married to Han Ji-soo (Kim Ah-joong). She started to feel jealous and one day kissed him when he was drunk.

In the June 4 episode, learning that Dong-baek and Ji-soo were married under a contract, Gyeong-ae dared to ask Ji-soo to help her debut as an actress in return for keeping a secret. Ji-soo promised to arrange an audition for her.

Yeon Mi-joo, playing Gyeong-ae, is a rookie actress who made her name known due to her slim, well-proportioned body figure. But after she appeared on "The Accidental Couple", she got the nickname of "Chubby Gyeong-ae".

"I started to put on weight when I had to take a rest from an accident. I felt bad about the nickname at first because I still have difficulty doing exercise, as much as I want to lose weight, although I recovered from the injury", she said. "But I got to know that people gave me the nickname because they found my character lovely, so I now rather feel happy to have it".

Yeon expressed her hope to grow slowly to be a "great" actress. "I want to make acting my lifetime career, so I want to go step-by-step, doing my best at every moment and in any role".

The episode where Gyeong-ae will have the audition will air on June 10.
