• Interview with actress Chae Won-bin, who plays Dam Ye-jin in the SBS Wednesday-Thursday drama 'Today Also Sold Out'

Actress Chae Won-bin of 'Today Also Sold Out' spoke about the tense kiss scene with Ahn Hyo-seop.

On the 1st, Chae Won-bin met with StarNews at the Outer Universe headquarters in Seoul Gangnam-gu and discussed the recently concluded SBS Wednesday-Thursday drama 'Today Also Sold Out' (script by Jin Seung-hee, directed by Ahn Jong-yeon).

A romance drama depicting the story of Matthew Lee (played by Ahn Hyo-seop), a perfectionist farmer, and Dam Ye-jin (played by Chae Won-bin), a sales-obsessed show host, who become entangled day and night. In the drama, Chae Won-bin plays the role of show host Dam Ye-jin.

Regarding Ahn Hyo-seop, her first romantic comedy partner, Chae Won-bin said, "He is someone I am so grateful to. I received a lot of help from him." She added, "It was really fun to see him come up with ideas for every scene. That's why I wanted to shoot quickly. He gave me many such ideas." She continued, "Senior Ahn Hyo-seop has a pure gaze, a boyish perspective. He also noticed parts hidden in the script."

Advice and encouragement from Ahn Hyo-seop and Kim Beom on set also provided great support. Chae Won-bin expressed gratitude, saying, "What I was thankful for was that they encouraged me a lot. Whenever a brilliant idea came to mind during rehearsals, they would suggest it. Also, when I was worried or hesitating, they would encourage me by saying, 'You're doing so well,' or 'Just do it like this.'"

Chae Won-bin, who performed her first kiss scene since her debut through this work, also shared her honest filming impressions. She recalled, "I ended up trembling on set. I had never been in a Navy Headquarters situation before." She added, "Speed was important when approaching. The speed I perceived and the speed captured on screen were different. To achieve a shot where we face each other, we had to get close enough that focus wouldn't even be possible. Even when kissing, I had to pay attention to the speed of approach and my nerves. So I was in an overloaded state. There was more to think about. Thinking about it made me even more stiff."

What helped ease the nervous Chae Won-bin was the consideration from her partner, Ahn Hyo-seop. Chae Won-bin said, "Whenever that happened, Senior Ahn Hyo-seop would say, 'Please tell me if anything is uncomfortable.' He would explain everything step by step, saying, 'I'll do this first.' He even explained how to hold hands and approach. Without such delicacy and consideration, I think I would have finished trembling. Thanks to him, I was able to relax while filming."

She also pointed out the differences between action scenes in past genre works and romance scenes in this project. Chae Won-bin explained, "With action, I could calculate that if I did it this way, the strength would show. But love scenes are more delicate, rooted in human emotions and experiences, so they seemed much more detailed. The parts I had to consider were very detailed. It was a delicate task in a different direction."
