• KBS 1TV's daily drama "Marie and the Stellar Dads" actor Hyun-woo's exclusive interview as Lee Kang-se

Actor Hyun-woo looked back on the past eight months when he lived as a character named Lee Kang-se through "Marie and the Stellar Dads."

Star News recently met with actor Hyun-woo of KBS 1TV's daily drama "Marie and the Stellar Dads" (played by Kim Hong-joo and directed by Seo Yong-soo), which ended on the 27th in Mapo-gu, Seoul, and conducted an exclusive interview.

"Marie and the Odd Dads" is a drama about the birth of a strange family that is thicker than blood and more persistent than sperm, and Hyun-woo plays Lee Kang-se, a first-year resident of obstetrics and gynecology.

Lee Kang-se is Marie (Ha Seung-ri)'s medical school senior, warm lover, and out-of-wedlock child born outside by her father, who is hurt in the process of growing up. Hyun-woo received favorable reviews for portraying Lee Kang-se, who is caught up in an unexpected fate as well as a pink romance with Ha Seung-ri.

Hyun-woo said of his feelings about the end of the show, "I had fun filming without any incidents or accidents. This time, I knew exactly what "one-day drama luxury casting" was, and I felt warm because it's been a long time since I did a warm drama. I think it was a "pretty set" because everyone in the field had a good personality. Most of all, I feel cool, disappointed, and regretful," he said.

As for the character Lee Kang-se, "Isn't Marie and Kang Kang-se similar?" Two people in an unusual situation get closer with a sense of homogeneity. I acted with the idea that Marie should be made to lean on Kang Se-jin," he said.

The character Lee Kang-se was made later. Hyun-woo, who revealed this, said, "The writer told me, but Kang Se-jin was originally not a character in the script. It's a person who was added later. I think you have added a person who will be in charge of an axis of the youth story with Marie. "Because it was a character that didn't exist, it was actually made the most similar to me," he explained.

Lee Kang-se undergoes a major internal change when he encounters a reef called his biological father Jo Gi-chang (Ju Yeon-tae) in the play. Regarding the secret of Lee Kang-se's birth, Hyun-woo said, "Since many stories and interests are intertwined in the drama, the amount (related to Lee Kang-se's biological father) appeared later in the drama. Originally, I was close to my brother (Ju Yong-tae), but this time, I met him as a father and son, so I felt new. I did my best as written in the script and filmed well while talking to the director," he said.

"Most of the male actors in this drama have calm and low voices, so I set the tone a little differently and high. I usually have a low tone, but isn't it important for (viewers) to hear it with their ears?" he confessed.

The voice change was Hyun-woo's effort to enrich the character's character and play, but it is true that some viewers responded that it was "unfamiliar." In response, Hyun-woo said, "I deliberately raised my voice for eight months and filmed it, and my vocal cords are still elevated. My voice kept breaking, too. Some people responded, "What's wrong with your voice?" and said, "It was my own effort to make a difference."

Lee Kang-se is a first-year resident of the obstetrics and gynecology department, and although there are not many medical contents in the play, he had to go through medical studies as an actor. Hyun-woo said, "I studied medicine while looking for a lot of data. You don't know how it's going to be in the drama. In fact, all he did was inject Kang Min-bo (played by Hwang Dong-ju) into his arm, but he still did not neglect to practice or study. Rather, it was fun," he said, expressing satisfaction.
