Kim So-hyun employs all her charms—aegyo, cuteness, and flirtatiousness—to awaken romantic cells

Actress Kim So-hyun has heightened the excitement of youth romance with her charm that shifts between pure and lovely. From bright smiles to adorable finger hearts, she captures attention with her signature clear and fresh atmosphere, revealing a presence worthy of a 'romance goddess.' Fans are focusing on her appearance, which seems to bring the fresh one-sided love from the drama into reality.

Her agency, Peach Company, released behind-the-scenes photos from the filming set of Kim So-hyun, who is appearing as Im Yu-jin in the ENA Monday-Tuesday drama 'Between Steps' on the 13th. In the photos, Kim So-hyun flaunted her bright and lively charm against the backdrop of an amusement park. She conveyed the pleasant atmosphere of the filming site by smiling brightly toward the camera or giving a thumbs up.

In particular, her pose making a finger heart in front of a heart sculpture further highlighted Kim So-hyun's signature lovely charm. As her unadorned expressions and natural smiles combined, the fresh sensibility unique to youth romance came to life. Even through simple on-set photos, she drew attention by conveying the fresh energy that Yu-jin possesses in the drama.

Since the beginning of 'Between Steps,' Kim So-hyun has been leading the drama by delicately expressing the bold and positive personality of Im Yu-jin. In particular, she is bringing out the charm of the character by naturally portraying the emotional changes encountered during the growth process of youth and the beginning of clumsy love. She is stimulating empathy from viewers by capturing even the jealousy and fluttering excitement hidden behind her bright and vigorous exterior.

In the 3rd episode, Yu-jin, who has fully plunged into life in the robot laboratory, visited an amusement park with the people from the lab. At this location, when Cha Seo-hyeon (played by Han Do-i) showed an affectionate side by playfully asking Park Min-jae (played by Choo Young-woo) to wear a headband, Yu-jin felt a strange sense of jealousy. It was a moment that revealed the change in Yu-jin, who, unlike her usual bold and positive self, could not hide her feelings in front of the person she likes.

Eventually, when Yu-jin was left alone with Min-jae, she persistently asked him to wear the headband. Min-jae, who did not wear the headband at first, eventually granted Yu-jin's request, and Yu-jin, watching this, could not hide her satisfied expression. Her appearance of wanting to confirm the other person's feelings even through a trivial action fully conveyed the fluttering excitement of a fresh one-sided love.

As Yu-jin begins to be conscious of Min-jae, a slight change is also being detected in the relationship between the two. The way she pays attention to his actions without even knowing it is jealousy and rejoices at small kindnesses adds a pure fun that can only be tasted in youth romance. Instead of exaggerated expressions, Kim So-hyun is increasing the immersion of the drama by bringing out the character's fluttering heart with natural expressions and delicate emotional acting.

As Kim So-hyun's lovely charm revealed in the behind-the-scenes photos aligns with the character of Im Yu-jin in the drama, expectations for the youth romance of 'Between Steps' are growing. Attention is focused on what kind of relationship Yu-jin, who signaled the start of a fresh one-sided love, will build with Min-jae, and how the youth's fluttering excitement that Kim So-hyun will portray will unfold in the drama moving forward.
