Netflix‘s new K-Drama Mask Girl was recently released, and it’s impressed viewers with its phenomenal cast.

Kim Mo-mi (Lee Han-byeol/Go Hyun-jung/Nana), an office worker who is insecure about her looks, becomes a masked internet personality by night — until a chain of unexpected, ill-fated events overtakes her life.

Since casting was announced, readers of the original Naver Webtoon that the K-Drama is adapted from were impressed. They were especially in awe of the casting of rookie actress Lee Han Byeol as pre-surgery Kim Mo Mi.

Now that the K-Drama has premiered, viewers were even more impressed by Lee Han Byeol. Some can’t believe it’s only her debut role.

Three talented actresses, Lee Han Byeol, After School‘s Nana, and Go Hyun Jung, portray three stages of Kim Mo Mi’s life: pre-plastic surgery, post-plastic surgery, and middle-aged in prison, respectively. Yet, Han Byeol portrays some of the most traumatic moments, from Mask Girl herself to murder and sexual assault. That’s a lot to take on for a debut role.

So, Mask Girl Director Kim Yong Hoon revealed why he cast the rookie actress for the lead role. He stated he did not want to rely on special makeup to create the character because it could affect one’s acting. So, instead, he chose an actress that was perfect for Kim Mo Mi in all aspects, from appearance to personality.

After the script writing was done, I had another concern about the cast. A thousand profiles were submitted for the audition, but when I saw Han Byeol’s profile, I had a strong feeling that she is perfect for the role. She came for the audition, and I offered her the role because I was struck by just how incredibly charming and intelligent she is.

Lee Han Byeol also empathized with her character due to personal experiences. Yet, unlike Kim Mo Mi, these hurtful moments did not lead her to hate her appearance.

Similar to Mo Mi, I’ve encountered hurtful moments related to my appearance. However, such an experience didn’t lead me to dislike my own appearance, and I have no problem with taking on the role of a physically unattractive character. I found genuine enjoyment and a sense of fulfillment throughout the entire filming process.
