Cha Woo-in’s righteous and confident character was also very charming,&quot; Jo said in a written response. &quot;The angle of mixing action and legal genres was refreshing. Hence, I decided to take up this drama with the excitement that I would be able to show a different charm from my previous characters,&quot; she added. Jo said it was challenge to play the role of Cha Woo-in. &quot;(&#x27;Military Prosecutor Doberman&#x27;) required a lot of studying just to get myself familiarized with the script. I have looked upon many related news and videos, sought advice from people who served in the military, and had continuous discussions with the director, writer, and other actors,&quot; the actress explained. &quot;It was my first time challenging myself with action scenes in (&#x27;Military Prosecutor Doberman&#x27;). I was very excited about it but worried at the same time. Because I was an amateur, I started to attend action school sessions and practice the basic moves diligently a few months before the filming. I received lots of help from the martial arts director and seniors while enjoying each of the scenes. I became more curious and interested in the action genre,&quot; she added. &quot;It was difficult to present the military and legal expressions that were both unfamiliar to me. I had to convey information with professional words from the script. Hence, I spent a lot of effort to familiarize myself with the script clearly and accurately.&quot;Jo also shared how the series has given her new experiences like having a short hairstyle and wearing a military uniform. &quot;It was the first time in my life to cut my hair into such a short length. I had portrayed many bright images in the past, so I thought it might be difficult to imagine myself in a military uniform and Woo-in’s character with heavy emotions most of the time. I decided to cut my hair short in order to suit myself with the image as much as I could,&quot; she said. &quot;When I first tried on the military uniform, we were filming during the cold winter, it felt thinner than I thought. But I am used to the uniform and my short hair now and filming comfortably,&quot; she added.Fans may watch &quot;Military Prosecutor Doberman&quot; every Tuesday and Wednesday at 9:15 p.m. on tvN via the Smart GigaPlay app.
