Actress Gong Hyo Jin revealed the surprising reason why she doesn't act in historical dramas.

She appeared on the September 20th broadcast of 'Entertainment Weekly' alongside co-stars Kang Haneul and Kim Jisuk to promote their new drama 'When The Camellia Blooms'.

She stated: "I want to show fans through this drama that I can be a 'beast'. I usually have played characters that were very confident and self-assured. However my character Dongbaek goes through a lot of hardships. I want to show the viewers her character development."

She then elicited a lot of laughter by saying she could never do historical dramas, stating "there's a reason why I avoid them. Because I don't want to let on that I'm a bad actor!"
