"When the Camellia Blooms" has released new stills for supporting actress Yeom Hye-ran.

Dramas frequently walk a fine line when it comes to such scenes. Casting younger actors can be distracting unless the flashbacks are prolonged and important, but the older actors can look at times ridiculous in such costumes. "When the Camellia Blooms" appears to be taking the discordance to its advantage - enhancing the comedy of the scene through the obvious visual mismatch.

It's also an opportunity for Yeom Hye-ran to show off her forceful charisma. Her character has gained popularity among viewers for her sharp tongue and assertive attitude. Having Yeom Hye-ran continue to play that same role even in her teenage just goes further to emphasize how that's always been her personality, even in more theoretically romantic moments.
