One of the reasons people are watching the new K-Drama, Wonderful World, is because of Kim Nam-joo's acting chops and Cha Eun-woo's visuals. But there is another lead character worth checking out: Im Se-mi, who plays Han Yoo-ri in Wonderful World.
Who is Im Se-mi and the character she plays in the K-Drama revenge series? Here's what we know.
Spoiler Warning: This article includes spoilers for Wonderful World K-Drama, so proceed with caution.
Who is Han Yoo-ri in Wonderful World?
As of this writing, we don't know much about Im Se-mi's character, Han Yoo-ri in Wonderful World. All we know right now is that she is the devoted manager of Eun Soo-hyun (played by Kim Nam-joo).
Aside from knowing every single bit of Soo-hyun's schedule, she is also close to her. She calls Soo-hyun "Eonnie," which means older sister. But in some interviews, she is described as "like a younger sister to Soo-hyun."
Another reason why we're convinced that she is Soo-hyun's sister is because she also goes to the restaurant owned by Soo-hyun's mother.
She is also able to joke around with her and show affection to her. This clearly explains that Soo-hyun and Yoo-ri are siblings.
But because they don't share the same last name, it can be a bit confusing too. We'll have to wait until more information gets released in the series.
Why Do People Think Yoo-ri is a Mistress in the K-Drama?
Although the full details of the mistress arc have not yet been explained, there are already some avid viewers who are guessing that Yoo-ri is Kang Soo-ho's (played by Kim Kang-woo) mistress.
Since it hasn't been confirmed yet, we'll have to give Se-mi's character the benefit of the doubt.
In the interview, director Lee Seung-young talked about Yoo-ri's character as "someone who gives a positive energy to the show."
Se-mi, however, shared that "there are some mysterious things that happen surrounding her." The actress also explained:
"Our show is really about the humanistic side of people. Yoori might look positive and bubbly, but that's just one facet of her. If you look closely at her, you can see that she has gone through a lot of different things. Just look at her as a multi-layered, three dimensional person."
Who Plays Han Yoo-ri? Meet Im Se-mi
So who is Im Se-mi? If you're an avid K-Drama fan, you'll recognize Se-mi from several shows.
In fact, this is a reunion project for Se-mi and Eun-woo, who both starred in the hit rom-com, True Beauty. Eun-woo starred as the love interest of Se-mi's younger sister, Im Ju-kyung (played by Mun Ka-young).
Her other K-Dramas include The Worst of Evil, Duty After School, When the Weather is Fine, and many more. You can follow her on Instagram here.
