Byeon Woo-seok and Kim Hye-yoon share their thoughts on working with Lovely Runner
When the interviewer at the 61st Baeksang Award asked the two actors to share a few words about each other, Byeon Woo-seok—though flustered at first—expressed the following about his experience of working with Kim Hye-soon on Lovely Runner:
"Ah no no, it's ok. I'll just say it without making eye contact. But really, I always say this but the reason I was able to immerse myself into Sun-jae and love Sun-jae is because of Actress Hye-yoon. It was only possible because she was there."
He continued:
"The energy she gave on set, all the emotions she expressed as Solie, was so so precious, I'm incredibly thankful. Thanks to her, I was able to completely immerse myself in Sunjae & portray him as I did. That's what I really want to say."
After the actor finished his message, Kim Hye-yoon also talked about her experience working with the actor and how he presented the character really well in the series. She said:
"For me, I can't imagine Sun-jae being played by anyone other than Wooseok oppa. He was Sun-jae himself. I relied on him a lot on the set. He's an actor I really, really like and being able to work on a project together was so enjoyable and made me happy. That’s what I wanted to say."
Following this exchange, fans and netizens have been thrilled by the continued chemistry and adorable interactions between the Lovely Runner leads.
