It changes time to time.

I don’t know.
I think Cheol-jong is like me.
What’s the similarities between you and Cheol-jong?
We are alike in terms of that we don’t express our feelings very well.
We tend to bear the burden by ourselves.
What’s the most important thing you consider when you choose a project?

And for the last, I think about if that message can be well delivered to the audience.
You said you are good at memorizing lines. Do you have any tips for that?
There is no secret method.

I think the lines just follow your emotion.
So I try to understand the situation and take in the flow.
That way the lines naturally just come to my head.
Is there any ad-lib you remember during shooting ?
I think it was Ae Sun Ae Su which means SNS. Ae Sun Ae Su – Love genuinely with lovely touches.
That was in one of our early episodes.
And they put cool CGI in Chinese characters.
Like it was in the original script.
I remember that because they produced it very well.
What does ‘Do you want to eat ramen?’ mean to you?
It is a romance that just hurts without any consequences.
Nothing happens two in a row.
Yes that’s what happened.
What was the hardest scene from ?
Every scene related to the well was tough to shoot.
When I went inside the well to find the books
I was pretty exhausted.
Because the space itself was very small
And there was too much dust.

Recently I draw a portrait.
And one of my friends demonstrated the way I draw that portrait in front of me
