The eagerly anticipated Korean drama The Heavenly Idol has raised expectations with the evident chemistry between its stars Kim Min-kyu and Go Bo-gyeol on and off the screen. Discussing her experience with Kim Min-kyu, the Hi Bye, Mama star revealed that Min-kyu has several layers to his personality.

“Even though he’s younger than I am, he seemed mature. But the more I got to know him, the more I was surprised by how bubbly and pleasant he was. How should I put it? It’s like he has a talent for making people feel comfortable. He’s someone who’d get along with anyone, anywhere. He’s also a moodmaker who brightens up the atmosphere on set by dancing the moonwalk whenever he has a chance between [takes].”
The actors also dished on their characters in The Heavenly Idol. Playing the role of the female protagonist Kim Dal, Go Bo-gyeol shared that her character is a mature working woman with professional ambitions who, even in the face of hardship, finds an opportunity to grow and do better.

“Rembrary, who ends up in Woo Yeon Woo’s body, was a high priest in a different universe. One day, he winds up switching souls with Woo Yeon Woo due to the devil’s sorcery. [The drama] tells the story of what happens after he wakes up as a member of the unsuccessful idol group Wild Animal, but even in a different body, he remains faithful to his duty as a high priest, and he considers that the most important goal in his life.”
The Heavenly Idol will premiere on February 15.
