Previously during a press conference for “Pinocchio,” Lee Jong Suk said,"Before the drama, Park Shin Hye and I worked together on a commercial shoot but I never really stop and think to myself that she is pretty. But this time, during filming, I kept thinking to myself that she is lovely and pretty."
The topic came up during an interview with Sports Korea, Park Shin Hye said,“Lee Jong Suk is very straightforward, he means every word he says. He would compliment my clothes, or on days when he see me he would come over and say things like ‘you’re pretty’ to me. But on days that I didn’t get any sleep so I look a bit haggard, he would tell me 'you're ugly' instead.” she said arousing laughter.
"We knew each other from modeling for a jean brand previously, we both said it would be great to have a chance to work together on a project, but we didn’t expect it to be this soon" she continues, "Actually, Lee Jong Suk is very reserved, and short with words. I thought to myself, ‘What would this person be like when he acts in front of the camera?’ but he is a person that can overcome anything nevertheless. He’s a person with a very high sense of responsibility."she spared no high praises for her fellow actor.
Park Shin Hye also comments on the chemistry with her previous ‘The Heir’co-star, “Lee Min Ho Oppa is a manly man. They’re both actors who are well mannered and exudes great sense of responsibility. I learned a lot from them. I will continue to work hard on good projects in the future.”
Lee Jong Suk also mentioned Park Shin Hye while conducting an interview recently, "I didn’t know this before acting along side with her but Park Shin Hye is really pretty. Although Park Hye Ryun Writer have created a loveable female lead character, but Park Shin Hye is far more lovable. As expected, she does it well.” he continues, “I remember a scene where Park Shin Hye brushed her teeth then cleaned the toilet bowl with my toothbrush. It remained in my memory. Because a pretty person is ruining her image, her charms explode even more. That was when she was most lovable to me.”
He added, "Park Shin Hye is smart partner; she is very good with her words, I depended on her a lot during our press conferences. We have many conversations with each other to discuss how we should carry out the romantic scenes. She’s a great partner.
