The Story Behind the Drama
The drama is adapted from a web novel. Sung Hoon plays Kwon Do Hyuk, a chaebol boss with no sense of taste, who sets out to find the woman whose voice he heard on an album. Oh Se Young plays Lee Eun Chae, the lead vocalist of an indie band, who becomes the one unpredictable element in his otherwise perfect life.
Meet Moon Tae Kyung
Lee Jung Shin plays Moon Tae Kyung, a promising pediatrician who seems to have it all: exceptional medical skills, a charming puppy-like look and a warm, kind heart. His life changes when he starts developing feelings for Eun Chae after helping her. Over time he becomes her reliable protector whenever she runs into trouble.
“Yes-Man, Perfect Man, Fool”
The actor sums up his character in three words: yes-man, perfect man and fool. He explains that Tae Kyung is flawless on paper but is a fool for love who says yes to everything Eun Chae asks. That contrast between his professional perfection and his soft-hearted devotion is expected to be one of the drama’s main charms.
Acting With the Eyes
Lee Jung Shin says Tae Kyung’s feelings for Eun Chae were the most important part to get right. He paid close attention to more than dialogue, focusing on the way the character looks at her. His aim was to show sincerity through small changes in his gaze and expression, which suggests a performance built on quiet moments.
Chemistry With Oh Se Young
He also praised his co-star, saying Oh Se Young creates a comfortable atmosphere on set. The two have reached the point where they can naturally trade ad-libs, which usually shows up on screen as relaxed, believable chemistry. His message to viewers is to watch how the seemingly perfect Tae Kyung changes after he meets Eun Chae.
