Joo Hyun-young plays Caitlin. She strives to maintain a perfect life, ever mindful of the gaze of others, but in truth suffers from a deeper sense of emptiness than anyone. She is set to make full use of her specialty: delicate, nuanced acting.

Joo Hyun-young has been active across mediums, appearing in dramas such as ‘Strange Lawyer Woo Young-woo’ ‘Surviving as a Celebrity Manager’ ‘The Marriage Contract of Lady Park’ ‘Good Woman Boo Semi’, and in films such as ‘Ghastly Train’ ‘The Devil Moved In’. Through this theatrical challenge, she has resolved to unleash the craft she has built up all at once.
