When asked how she brought such maturity to a character who still carries the spark of innocence, she reflected, 'I believe that deep down, people are all the same, regardless of the character.

'The scenes where friends share their hardships and laugh together felt exactly like my real life,' she said, with a smile. When asked how will she describe India, Roh exclaimed, 'Ttadeutham—warmth. I feel that the love our fans have for Korean dramas is filled with warmth. Warm-hearted India .'advertisementLee Chae-min, whose previous work in Crash Course in Romance and Love All Play made him a Gen Z heartthrob, slips seamlessly into the role of Hwang Jae-yeol. His character is quietly intense, the kind of person who speaks volumes without ever raising his voice. On how he approached this emotional stillness, Chae-min explained, 'Restraint was important, but I think the flow of the situation really brought out the sincerity in Jae-yeol.'

'I'm class of '21 just like Ji-won. When I went to school, I even got lost and had to ask a stranger for directions, just like Ji-won's first appearance in the show,' he laughed. 'It was surreal.' His description of India was equally poetic: 'When I think of India, Hwang-Geumbit Noransaek (golden yellow) and Areumdaum (beauty) come to mind.' A still from Crushology 101.

Your Kim Da-mi binge guide: the movies and K-dramas you need to watch
'The Witch: Part 2. The Other One' The sequel focuses on a new character, and although Kim Da-mi's role is pivotal in driving the plot forward and setting up possible sequels, her time on screen is limited. She appears toward the end of the film in what is essentially a cameo appearance. 'Itaewon Class' In Itaewon Class , one of Netflix's biggest global K-drama hits, Kim Da-mi stars opposite Hallyu veteran Park Seo-joon (Park Saeroyi) as the fearless, intelligent and highly unconventional Jo Yi-seo. Kim Da-mi skillfully portrays Yi-seo's journey from a precocious teen to a savvy twenty-something, proving her versatility yet again. Throughout this transformation, Yi-seo's unwavering support for Saeroyi—instrumental in helping him fulfil his lifelong ambitions—is rivalled only by her stubborn and single-minded efforts to win his heart. 'Our Beloved Summer' As a young couple, Choi Ung (Choi Woo-shik) and Kook Yeon-soo's (Kim Da-mi) relationship is a textbook case of 'right person, wrong time'. But when circumstances bring them together again in adulthood, they're older, wiser and perhaps ready for a second chance at love. Kim Da-mi reunites with her Witch co-star Choi Woo-shik in the fan-favourite K-drama Our Beloved Summer . Their chemistry remains undeniable as they switch gears from supernatural thriller to romantic comedy, from sworn enemies to bickering ex-sweethearts.

The movie explores the beauty and complexity of female friendships—how it can be both tender and tumultuous, and how they shape the women we become. Life may have torn Mi-so and Ha-eun apart, but their powerful connection becomes the saving grace that helps carry their story forward. 'Nine Puzzles' In the Disney+ K-drama Nine Puzzles , Kim Da-mi stars as Yoon E-na, a sharp criminal profiler with a complicated past. When a serial killer starts leaving clues that tie back to her uncle's unsolved murder, she partners with Kim Han-saem (Son Suk-ku), a seasoned investigator, to catch the killer. It's an uneasy alliance, riddled with major trust issues—Han-saem suspects that E-na, the sole witness to her uncle's death, may have been the killer all along.
