We did a photoshoot for the June issue of "KOREA".
A mystery romance TV series set against the backdrop of the upper class in the Joseon Dynasty.
In contrast to the atmosphere of the film, the shoot was held in a modern mood, and the two of them showed off their chic charms. After the shoot, an interview was conducted. Jo Bo A said,
When asked why, he said, "I was drawn to the heartbreaking relationship between Jae-i and Hong-ran, who appear as half-siblings. After they meet again as adults, strange feelings begin to grow between them, but...
I think there is another work that expresses the relationship between the two in this way. I have a good relationship with my brother, so I could empathize with the story."
Lee Jae Wook said, "When I first read the script, I wondered what kind of environment this character had experienced.
I was curious as to why it became so sharp. It was a story that I had never imagined. Personally, I have a deep affection for the character Hong Ran. I wanted to understand and portray this character as best as I could."
Jo Bo A spoke about her love for the show. She also talked about the appeal of period dramas. Jo Bo A said, "When I first appeared in a period drama, 'Horse Doctor,' I felt that period dramas were difficult, but when I starred in 'Nine Tailed Fox,' I was able to do it.
After acting a little at a time in 'Love Is Forever' and 'Love Is Inevitable', I have gained the courage to try again," he said, showing his passion for acting.
Lee Jae Wook said, "This is my first time acting in a full-scale historical drama that is not a fantasy historical drama.
"There was an aura of belonging to the project, and I felt a strong sense of belonging in that environment. I also felt like I was a tree in the big forest that was the project."
"Dangeum" is a story about Hongran, the heir to a powerful merchant family who disappeared as a child and returns after 12 years.
When asked if there is anything that has changed since 12 years ago, Jo Bo A replied, "I try not to lose my original intentions. I try to see the positive side of any situation.
When you do that, you naturally get praised for things, and that can lead to good relationships," Lee Jae Wook replied, "I still want to have new experiences and I'm curious.
"Even 12 years ago, I had a vague desire to do a job where I could endlessly explore and learn something. I think it was that curiosity that led me to the path of acting," he said.
