- It was probably not easy playing Jung Hu and Bong Su, two characters with entirely different personalities in the show.
“That’s why I pondered a lot. It’s not that I’m playing two different roles; it’s because the character Seo Jung Hu is ‘acting’ as the character Park Bong Su, so it was more difficult. The most difficult homework was to what extent Seo Jung Hu should change when he acts as Park Bong Su. I was worried if it would become too childish if I acted in a way that seemed like he made a 180-degree change into another character. But the director advised me to ‘leave an obvious gap between the two characters.’ Although I was half in doubt at first, the difference between the two characters was made large, and the audience seemed to like that more.”
- Did you feel more comfortable when you were acting as Jung Hu or Bong Su?
“Compared to Jung Hu who needs to restrain and calculate his every move, Bong Su was freer and more comfortable. Even on set, it was more interesting when I was filming as Bong Su where I could freely do everything that I wanted to do.”
- You’ve only received praises for your acting.
“I don’t know how I should react when I hear such praises because it’s so embarrassing. I’m the kind who will be so embarrassed when I hear praises (laughs). The staff really suffered a lot in this show. A good piece of work was made from all that effort from the staff. I don’t think the praise I got is simply because of me doing a good job.”
