Kwon Do Hyuk is a chaebol boss with zero sense of taste. He sets out to find the woman whose voice he heard on an album. She turns out to be Lee Eun Chae, lead vocalist of an indie band, who becomes the only variable in his otherwise perfect life.

Do Hyuk is the CEO of OYES Entertainment, a perfectionist who listens exclusively to classical music. His rules are about to be tested by someone unpredictable.

## Why Sung Hoon Said Yes?

His answer was simple. He cited his existing connection with the team from a previous production, and he liked the script. In his words, there was “no reason not to take this project.”

What really hooked him was the character. He said Do Hyuk is appealing because of his exceptional abilities rather than his glamorous background. He joked that he’s the kind of guy who would never have to worry about going hungry anywhere. You can explore the actor’s career on [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sung_Hoon_(actor)).

## How He Built the Character?

Sung Hoon says he spent a lot of time thinking about what life looks like for someone with plenty of money and exceptional abilities. He wanted to keep the web novel’s overall framework while staying faithful to the drama’s script and adding his own interpretation.

## Chemistry With Oh Se Young

Sung Hoon had warm words for his co-star. He called her bright and positive and said he gets plenty of positive energy from her. Thanks to her, there are many moments to laugh, so he says filming has been a happy experience.

He hopes viewers will tune in to see how Do Hyuk feels after meeting Eun Chae, and how he changes.
