Kim Joo -ryoung’s role is quite relatable and human, in the sense that she is a liar, manipulative, passionate but at the same time demands loyalty from the person she is attached to She says that she is shy in real life and does not think she is that pretty though fans think the opposite. Her role as Mi Nyeo has got her lot of fame.
Kim says that she read the script in one single setting and said ‘yes’ quickly because the role and the show grabbed her attention like nothing else. She says that she knew the show would be a hit but to know that Squid Game would trigger a worldwide phenomena is something that she didn’t anticipate.
Contrary to her rough and brash appearance, Mi Nyeo is a character who has immense fear inside her. Kim says that from her analysis, the character gets scared easily and she didn’t want anyone to know about it. She would use anyone that would come her way to reach her goals. She acts tough and puts on a false pretense. But she has a desperate need for survival and wants people to support her. She is a tragic character. Full marks to Kim Joo -ryoung to play the character with finesse.
