Boa's new venture in new KBS drama 'Hope For Dating'

This is her first time grabbing the reigns as a lead actress on the small screen. BoA played the role of a woman who has no luck when it comes to dating and always ends up dating a bad guy. Co-star Choi Daniel will possibly turn BoA's luck around as a dating expert. Her first acting challenge through the new kbs drama was well received by korean viewers, it was broadcasted on the sep ,11th 2013 After making a brief cameo appearance in SBS’ “ATHENA: Goddess of War” in 2010, BoA continued to forge a career in television with SBS’ hit music reality show, “K-Pop Star,” earning credibility as a compelling judge in the singing competition. Having established her position as a television personality through “K-Pop Star,” BoA is taking the next step, tackling a project that may launch a successful career as an actress. Many korean viewers stated on internet that her acting was more than good enought especially considering that it's her first challenge to acting and role that she played was lovely and funny indeed. On speaking about how she prepped for her role, BoA started off by explaining that “I have been a singer for over a decade while this is my first time acting in Korea.” Though she starred in a Hollywood dance movie titled “Make Your Move 3D” recently, this represents her first television drama lead. “I met with the drama’s director every day to discuss my role and practice acting,” BoA revealed. On working with BoA, “Expect to Date” director Lee Eun-jin admitted to hesitating for three weeks before casting the singer. “BoA was not the first up for the role,” said Lee. “When she did her first script reading, I thought that it might not work out.” Lee then revealed that when she met the veteran singer for a second time she was impressed by BoA’s objective stance on the lead role and that helped clench the decision to cast her as the drama’s heroine. Of BoA’s acting, director Lee said, “I would give her a score of 75 points for her acting, not because she cannot act but because I know she can do better given that this is her first time around.” “I possess a very strong image as both a singer and a television show judge,” BoA said. “After the drama finishes airing, I hope to hear that viewers saw me as my character, Joo Yeon-ae, and not as myself.” “Hope for Date” will run on Sept. 11 and 12 on KBS 2 TV at 10 p.m.
