Actors Choi Jin-hyuk, Oh Yeon-seo, Hong Jong-hyun, and Kim Da-som aim for blessing in disguise by overcoming bad news.

Producer Kim Jin-sung and actors Choi Jin-hyuk, Oh Yeon-seo, Hong Jong-hyun and Kim Da-som attended the production presentation of Channel A's new Saturday-Sunday drama "I Have a Baby" at The Link Seoul in Guro-gu, Seoul on the afternoon of the 13th.

"I Have a Baby" is a reverse romantic comedy based on a web novel of the same name and a webtoon, which is a one-night deviation between two men and women who said they would not get married in this life.

On this day, producer Kim said, "I received the script while the original work was attractive and popular. The material was fresh. "Our drama is interesting because it is a reverse driving romance that finds the cause while there is a conclusion, so I directed it," he said.

"I don't think there is a completely new drama material," he said. "There is a trend of material every time, and we used the expression of being fresh because we are a little out of it." It will be different from normal romance. It's like an obvious drama, but it's not obvious," he said, expressing confidence.

Choi Jin-hyuk plays Kang Doo-joon, president of Tae Han Liquor, and Oh Yeon-seo plays Jang Hee-won, head of the new product development team of Tae Han Liquor. The two non-marital characters meet an inflection point when they have a baby. Hong Jong-hyun and Kim Da-som play the roles of Cha Min-wook and Hwang Mi-ran, who step in between the two, respectively.

Choi Jin-hyuk said, "The reverse idea was fresh. "I'm reunited with PD Kim after 12 years since 'The Old Book'," Oh Yeon-seo also said, "I enjoyed reading the script and participated with excitement because I worked with PD Kim on my previous work." I felt like I was going to the scene to love," he said, explaining the reason for his appearance.

"I think the taste I know is scary," he said. "There are a lot of heavy dramas these days, and in the meantime, we are proud that our drama is a bright and fun drama."

Hong Jong-hyun said, "I wanted to play a bright and interesting character because I played opposite characters in the previous work," and Kim Da-som said, "I like the Rocco genre so much and I was curious about how the original webtoon drama would come out, so I participated."

The background of "I Have a Baby" changed from school to company during the adaptation process. In response, producer Kim said, "I adapted it to make it fun to capture things that cannot be contained in webtoons. It's a little different from the original, but it's well captured to surpass it, so you can look forward to it," he said.

Hong Jong-hyun played a psychopathic character in his previous work "Dear X." "It wasn't hard at all," he said of "I have a baby," which has to express a completely different person. It was nice to act in a fun and warm place for the first time in a long time. "Thanks to the actors I played with," he said.

In addition, "I Have a Baby" was originally scheduled to feature actor Yoon Ji-on in the role of Cha Min-wook, but it became vacant after he got off on charges of drunk driving and theft. Hong Jong-hyun, who was put in this position, said, "If there was no burden, it would be a lie. After meeting and talking with the producer and other actors, he judged that he could do it with them. I had no choice but to work hard within the allowed time, but everyone helped me a lot in the field," he said, thanking his colleagues.

In this regard, PD Kim said, "I tried to use it as an opportunity for blessing in disguise because it was an unexpected situation," adding, "I asked Hong Jong-hyun politely, but he accepted it well. It's a blessing in disguise, and I think a better quality work came out in a better environment," he said, expressing his trust in Hong Jong-hyun.

As for casting, "Only Choi Jin-hyuk and Oh Yeon-seo came to mind. I started with a picture in my mind. Kim Da-som said, "I asked for a favor because there is a cool side like a straight woman in the play."

Asked what he would do between love and friendship, Kim Da-som said, "I think it's hard to find true love and friendship. "If I were this year's me, I would choose friendship," Choi Jin-hyuk said, "It's love. I think I'm old. It's not even a landmine search, and it's not easy to find love," he said, drawing laughter.

Oh Yeon-seo said, "This year's Oh Yeon-seo will choose love. Hong Jong-hyun also gave a different answer to Kim Da-som, saying, "Of course, love," giving a smile one after another.

What kind of efforts did the actors make to increase the synchronicity with the original. Choi Jin-hyuk said, "I think it's too much to keep up with the cartoonish appearance. Instead, I expressed it as a friend who is clumsy and has a silly part to those close to me so that I can approach the human beauty and lack of it with a new charm," he said.

Oh Yeon-seo said, "The characters in the original work and the characters in the drama have slightly different personalities. I think the background has changed. The serious attitude toward life is similar. I think the character of the drama is more plump, lively, and expressive. Compared to webtoons, the synchronicity of appearance may be very different, but I wanted to express it well because it is a very attractive character," he said, expressing his affection for the character.

Hong Jong-hyun said, "I also think there is a difference between the original and the character in the drama. "I focused a lot on the triangular relationship," Kim Da-som said, "The erosions in the original work are very intense. In terms of image, I tried my best to be close to the original. Due to the nature of webtoons, I think actors should make characteristics and speech in the play. After several discussions with the producer, I did a detailed build-up," he said.

Choi Jin-hyuk's mother wanted to get married through SBS's "My Ugly Baby," and Oh Yeon-seo's mother drew attention by reacting to the YouTube channel, saying, "I don't want to see the kiss scene."

When asked about her mother's reaction to finding out about her appearance on "I Have a Baby," Choi Jin-hyuk said, "I don't talk to my mother about the drama or content. I blocked it in advance because it was annoying to pry. My mother gives me feedback on her work, but she doesn't say good things. I tend to nag about acting," he replied.

"I once went to see a shaman Lee Kun-joo in 'My Ugly Baby'," he said. "At that time, Lee Kun-joo said, 'I will have a baby in 2026. I was so surprised that I asked, 'Am I getting married?' and I said, 'It can happen.' The program was also delayed once. I think it's fate. (Lee Kun-joo) said that he also won the Best Actor Award," he said, surprising.

In response, MC Park Kyung-rim said, "All of that is a story in the drama. I understand well," he said, breaking Choi Jin-hyuk's sweet dreams and making him laugh.

Oh Yeon-seo said, "In this drama, there is a kiss scene and a bed scene, and I took a long shot, and when I think about it, it came out like 'Wow'. It's not that the mother doesn't like her daughter filming such a scene, but she's embarrassed for some reason. "I was really happy that cool and handsome Choi Jin-hyuk and Hong Jong-hyun liked me in the play."

"I Have a Baby" will premiere at 10:30 p.m. on the 17th.
