“I think Joo-hyuk-sshi is an incredible actor. He goes right into character. There are times when his performances shine through. For example, his facial expressions. And it impresses me every time. I go, ‘Why didn’t I think of this before?’ It was a good experience. I learned a lot. I always enjoyed filming with him,” he said.

“Joo-hyuk-sshi could do that because he was a basketball player. He wants Ji-pyeong to move over. Joo-hyuk was cleverly in control of that scene. It was fun because we became so close. We laughed a lot during the shoot. I think that’s why it felt like time was flying. When I film with Joo-hyuk-shi, it always starts and ends with laughter,” he said.

“When I first read the script, what caught my attention was this: Ji-pyeong goes through a lot of pain and a time of sadness. It’s an interesting character, so I thought it’d be fun to join this drama. That’s all I thought about. I never expected the character to be this popular. Thank you so much for loving Ji-pyeong,” he said.

When asked what he would do if he was in the same situation as Ji-pyeong in real-life, he said: “I think I’d just be honest. If Ji-pyeong were honest with Dal-mi, would he be by her side instead of Do-san? I don’t think so. Do-san and Dal-mi are meant to be together.”

He added: “Ji-pyeong secretly takes care of his loved ones. I think that’s his biggest charm. I thought ‘it is possible for someone to do all those things just to repay kindness?’ I think his innocent charm is what makes him shine.”
