"It's why Ha took it as a good omen that she accidentally slipped out of her shoe when running up a staircase while filming Sophie's first dance with Benedict Bridgerton ( Luke Thompson) at a masquerade ball. "I was like, 'Oh, my God, it's Cinderella. We're being blessed by the gods! This is great,' Ha says before adding, with effortless comic timing: 'Then I lost both my shoes.'""
"It's a handy mirror to what makes Ha's leading lady so endearing to watch. The 28-year-old Australian actor (whose other TV credits include Dune: Prophecy and The Survivors) plays Sophie with quick-witted heart and humor, flitting between the disguised "Lady in Silver" Benedict meets that fateful night and the savvy maid he falls for months later - with him not knowing they're the same person."
Yerin Ha grew up loving Cinderella in all forms, citing Hilary Duff's Cinderella Story and affection for Chad Michael Murray. During filming, a shoe slipped while running up a staircase during Sophie's first dance, which was read as a Cinderella-like omen. Ha, a 28-year-old Australian actor with credits including Dune: Prophecy and The Survivors, portrays Sophie Baek with quick wit, heart, and humor, alternating between the disguised 'Lady in Silver' and a savvy maid whom Benedict Bridgerton later loves without knowing they are the same person. The production supported collaborative choices in scripts, styling, hair and makeup to build confidence and character authenticity, and Sophie represents a working-class first among the show's leading ladies, bringing hope and modern agency to a fairy-tale arc.
