Although can only sleep for three to four hours a day but the voices heard over the phone was still fresh and clear.

She would suddenly said, “Have you watched the show yesterday? The line of ‘Husband, please turns off the light’ could be put it better,” and chuckled. In the drama, at the night of marrying with son of Grand Prince Suyang, Prince Dowon (Baek Sung Hyun), she nervously told husband, “Turns off the light.”

Miss Ham happily said, “Although the lines are short, but contains a lot of things. Deliberately used an ambiguous voice to act, but found that it’s hard,” “This is the line that reflects the active characters of Queen Insoo, very interesting.”

– Besides “turn off the light,” what other lines that left deep impression?

“There is another line that asked, ‘How is Prince Dowon wants to save the world?’ Prince Dowon and Queen Insoo are different, he does not have much ambition, for Prince Dowon, this is considered the beginning of prince course.”

– What’s the similarities between Eun Jung and Queen Insoo who controls her own destiny?

“Director used to say before filming, ‘Eun Jung, just act according to the real you.’ Speak her mind, target is very clear, personality is stubborn, all these is very similar. But has to exclude the spoiled aspect to husband.” (Laughs)

In SBS’s 2004 drama series “Toji, the Land,” she played a youth role, and recently starred in “King Geunchogo.”

– Should be no stranger to acting in historical drama, right?

“Indeed so, but because there is no historical records on the youth of Queen Insoo, so when performing the role there is no restrain at all. Because it’s a role of female that is rebellious during the era, so I want to modernize the lines, although there is criticism that it’s not matched with the background of historical drama, but that’s the image of the role I want to portray.”

– When saying “Let me be your princess” to Grand Prince Suyang, the expression in your eyes is very different?

“With the development of drama, I will play a decisive woman role that helps Grand Prince Suyang, takes proper care of family, resists external forces and protects the family, not a naive ignorant girl.”
