Yerin Ha has spoken out about fan comparisons between Cinderella and her character Sophie Baek’s storyline in the fourth installment of the English drama series.
In a new confessional with InStyle, the actress admitted that the fairytale parallels aren’t far removed from her own inspiration.
“Cinderella was actually my favorite princess, funny enough,” Ha said.
She added that she based her performance on the fantasy of the famous ballroom moment.
“I used the ball’s kind of magic to channel her… I watched [the 1950 Disney version of Cinderella] so often.”
Meanwhile, her co-star reflected on their on-screen connection in a separate interview with Vogue, explaining that the chemistry audience wasn’t something they forced.
Instead, it developed naturally over time as they worked together on set.
He noted that chemistry is not a fixed quality that actors may or may not have, but something that grows through shared scenes and trust.
“You discover what your chemistry is and how it develops. It’s not fixed, like: do you have it or not? It’s more passive than that. You let it happen and go on a journey of discovery together. And I feel happy because Yerin matched me very well in that,” he concluded.
