Song Hye Kyo and Jang Ki Yong recently sat down for an interview for Dazed Korea magazine. This is where the duo revealed how it felt to work with each other and how their filming experience truly was.
Describing her character in the drama, Song Hye Kyo remarked, “Young Eun is someone who wanted to live freely, without being swayed by her personal feelings, while maintaining her professionalism. However, love ends up finding her once again. Even within that, she makes wise decisions and thinks healthy thoughts, to the point where I myself learned from [the character] while acting.”
Meanwhile, Jang Ki Yong commented, “Jae Guk is overflowing with passion and confidence, not only in his life but also in his work. He’s cool-headed even when it comes to love, and he’s often mature. He’s completely different from the other characters I’ve played up until now, so I worried a lot [about how to portray him].”
When the duo was asked about working with each other, Jang Ki Yong said that he always thought co-starring with Song was a far-fetched idea.
“Working with Song Hye Kyo was—how should I put it? Like a goal that felt very far away. Something that I had only pictured in my imagination ended up becoming a reality sooner than I’d expected, so starting from our first drama meeting, I felt really amazed. All I could think was, ‘I need to do a good job.’ When Hye Kyo and I stood together, I wanted us to look entirely like Ha Young Eun and Yoon Jae Guk, not like senior and junior colleagues.”
