Why Baek Kitae Won’t Let Go?
Hyun Bin said playing an appealing character is one of the great joys of acting. He then described how long the role has stayed with him: filming began in July 2024 and wrapped this March, and the more than three years he spent as Baek Kitae felt like a dream. He added that he still can’t let go of the character.
That honesty is striking from a leading actor. It also explains why Kitae has resonated with viewers, since a performer who is this attached to a role tends to give it extra depth.
