Actor Ahn Bo-hyun opened up about the efforts he put in for the drama "Spring Fever."

Ahn Jung-hyun held a round interview to commemorate the end of tvN's Monday-Tuesday drama "Spring Fever" (written by Kim A-jung/directed by Park Won-guk) at a cafe in Gangnam-gu, Seoul on the morning of the 11th.

"Spring Fever" is a springtime romance between Yoon Bom (Lee Joo-bin), a teacher with a cold wind, and Sun Jae-kyu (An Bo-hyun), a man with a burning heart, based on a popular web novel of the same name.

Ahn Bo-hyun, who plays Sun Jae-gyu, increased his muscles to 5kg to capture the character's overwhelming physique, and as a result, he completed a visual that seemed to have broken through the original work. In addition, Ahn Bo-hyun, who is from Busan, showed his charm by perfectly showing the indifferent but caring side of "straight forward man" with a native dialect.

Ahn is receiving favorable reviews for his overwhelming physicality and delicate emotional performance. Nevertheless, the chasing scene of the Spring Fever subway was not easy.

On this day, Ahn Bo-hyun drew laughter by venting about the scene, saying, "When I read the script, I thought there was nothing physically to do, but I think I really ran all my life in the subway scene."

"When I saw the edited version, I ran really fast. I'm usually close to Dex, but I run as fast as Dex. The OST went in there and the chase scene lived well, so the subway scene was very good. "I felt good because I felt verified that I could still run like that," he said.

What do you think about the evaluation of an actor who is good at using his body. Ahn said, "There is a burden. Because I think I have to be crazy about my expectations, I tend not to say that I am sick even if I am sick, or that I am tired even if I am tired. I try to do it without an accident. I'm just grateful that I can be exceptional in any way. I'm trying to roll myself as much as I can," he confessed.

He also said, "I like to challenge new genres. Just because you work out doesn't mean that you only get to play the role of an athlete. There are no concerns about image fixation," he said.

As the web novel was based on it, the high synchro rate also attracted a lot of attention. Ahn Bo-hyun said, "I had a ridiculous hair because I thought I should set the synchronization rate to be considerate of those who watched the original work. I thought that would make it look more three-dimensional, so I focused on that part. He explained, "I've fitted clothes dozens of times to make them, and I've tried to gain weight and then lose weight according to the clothes."

He then went on to pursue a body that "I think there will be such a person" rather than an unrealistic body. To do that, you have to fit physically. I tried to make him think, "He's really a business," not a body made of health. In fact, I repeatedly increased and lost weight to find the right body type. I tried to gain and lose about 4kg repeatedly, but it was better to gain some weight. All the other actors were tall, so they tried to make them bigger than their faces to make a difference. Now I've lost about 3kg naturally," he said.

I didn't watch the original. Ahn Bo-hyun said, "I heard a lot that the water level is strong, but I think the director and the writer worked hard to control the water level. There was no better scene in the drama than I thought. There's nothing in particular. I don't have anything other than one exposure at an animal hospital, but I felt it was a success because the viewers said the level was high," he confessed.

Tattooed paltos worn in the play also drew attention. Ahn Bo-hyun said, "In fact, merchants were surprised when I wore (arm-tos) to the market. I was glad that many people seemed to take it lightly. I thought it would be okay no matter how much the original work was, but I'm glad that they thought it was cute," he said.

It was also fun to watch Ahn's comedy setting and dialect acting. In response, he said, "The character Jae-gyu had a lot of comedy elements that came out of innocence. Even if I don't do anything, that kind of side comes out. There were many people from Busan at the scene, but the director opened up a lot about the dialect, so I did a lot of ad-libs. While watching the drama, I remembered a lot of scenes where I thought, "That's an ad-lib too, but you wrote that."

He said, "My friends in the countryside are saying that my dialect is weird. I wondered if it didn't make sense. But when I heard it, they said it was okay. It was not easy to find a point of contact between colloquial and octopus, so I needed more ad-libs," he said.
