Why Park Ji Hyun Said Yes?
Park Ji Hyun explained that the script’s relatability is what drew her in immediately, calling it a fun, realistic story that many viewers will recognize from their own lives. She also noted how deeply she connected with Cha Ji Yoon’s struggles balancing work and love, two of life’s most rewarding yet challenging pursuits.
What stood out most to her was how much of herself she saw in the character. She described Cha Ji Yoon as someone who pours everything into both her job and relationships, which also means she ends up getting hurt more deeply, an emotional pattern Park Ji Hyun said felt very personal to her.
When asked about a line from the drama that resonated most, she picked one about putting up emotional walls, reflecting on how people often build defenses to protect themselves, only to have those walls quietly torn down by someone sincere.
A New Side of Park Ji Hyun
Known for tougher, more intense roles, Park Ji Hyun admitted it feels special to finally play someone lovable in a romance-centered story. Since her past characters haven’t typically gotten happy endings in love, she’s especially excited to dive into something genuinely sweet this time around.
Seo In Guk, the “Romance Master”
Park Ji Hyun also praised her co-star for creating a comfortable atmosphere on set, especially during romantic scenes. With limited experience in this genre, she said Seo In Guk naturally guided her through tricky moments, living up to his reputation as a romance expert in the industry.
On a lighter note, she joked that while her character’s comfort food is fried chicken, she’s currently obsessed with spicy braised chicken with tripe, encouraging viewers to enjoy the show with their own favorite comfort snacks.
