Actress Choi Yuri is set to portray a unique zombie character in the upcoming film 'My Daughter is a Zombie.'
Slated for release on the 30th, 'My Daughter is a Zombie' is a comedic drama about a doting father who goes into top-secret training to protect his daughter, the last remaining zombie on Earth. In the film, Choi Yuri plays the role of Sua, the zombie daughter.
Sua appears cold on the outside but is actually a teenage girl who loves her father more than anyone else in the world. Despite becoming a zombie more ferocious than a wild beast and more sensitive than a teenager due to a virus infection, she inherits her father's dancing DNA, making her a character brimming with talent.
Choi Yuri is expected to radiate charming appeal as Sua, seamlessly navigating between human emotions and zombie instincts to deliver both laughter and emotion, captivating the audience's hearts.
The film promises an array of dynamic chemistry among its characters, including Sua's father Jeong-hwan (played by Cho Jungseok), her grandmother Bam-soon (played by Lee Jung-eun), and their pet cat Aeyong. Their unpredictable and special interactions are expected to enrich the narrative and highlight their presence.
Choi Yuri, who has long cherished the original webtoon, is anticipated to deliver a performance that closely aligns with Sua, fueled by her passion for the project. The effort she has put into zombie training, dance practice, and special makeup over ten months is bound to spark curiosity.
Having gained attention through the 'Alienoid' series, Choi Yuri is making her debut as a lead actress on the big screen with 'My Daughter is a Zombie.' With the film based on a webtoon that has a solid fanbase, the anticipation for Choi Yuri's portrayal of Sua and her synchronization with the character is high. Audiences can discover what kind of zombie Sua Choi Yuri has brought to life in theaters on July 30th.
