Chae-Won Choi had been playing the role of Neena for more than six years. While it was a role dear to her, recently, she had been feeling burned out because of it.
She had lost her spark, and it showed through her acting. Once a lively woman, Neena now felt dead.
Thankfully, the writers of the show slightly altered the original theme for the season.
They made Neena exactly how Chae-Won was—exhausted and lost. It suited the situation of the character and the direction of the show.
While Chae-Won was tired of playing the same role for years, Neena was tired of living the same life for years.
Both were lost in their own way. They needed a change in their routine. They needed something new.
For the actress, that pang of excitement came with a certain show. A show that had started a craze in the country. A show that made weekends feel like festivals. A show full of bloodshed, thrill, and evil.
Binsfeld's Seven Princes of Hell had a profound effect on Chae-Won Choi.
