Actor Go Soo shared his thoughts on returning to the romance genre for the first time in about 15 years through his new drama, "Nine to Six."

SBS's new Wednesday-Thursday drama, "Nine to Six (Directed by Lee Hyung-min and Oh Song-hee / Screenplay by Choi Ji-o / Produced by Studio S and Samhwa Networks)," is scheduled to air its first episode on the 25th. The series is an ONF work-life balance romance about a rational woman who has proven herself through her career, who meets a kind and emotional man and rewrites her standards for work, love, and happiness. In the drama, Go Soo plays Park Hyun-tae, an elite department head who is 100% rational.

Go Soo is drawing attention for appearing in a romance drama for the first time in about 15 years with this project. Speaking on why he decided to join "Nine to Six," he said, "I wanted to work with juniors like Park Min-young and Yoo Seung-jae. I was curious how our ensemble would look in a romance drama that requires delicate emotional expression, and what kind of character the person I am playing, Park Hyun-tae, would turn out to be."

Go Soo added, "Office dramas reflect the times. I thought a lot about what kind of leader people want these days. A long career at a company likely shaped Park Hyun-tae into someone who values reason over emotion. I approached scenes carefully, such as when Kang Ji-ji's work ability is recognized and trust is shown in the drama, so that Hyun-tae's attitude and emotions would be revealed naturally."

He continued, "I'm a little disappointed with my visuals in this work. It seems there is no end to the desire to look beautiful," joking before adding, "Since Hyun-tae is a character who has lived abroad for a long time, I set his hairstyle to be a bit longer and aimed for a free-spirited vibe by not wearing a tie in his outfits."

Above all, Go Soo expressed high satisfaction with his chemistry with Park Min-young and Yoo Seung-jae. He showed confidence by saying, "The teamwork with Park Min-young and Yoo Seung-jae was 100 points," and added, "The filming set was fun. It was enjoyable to work on portraying the push-and-pull relationship between us," heightening anticipation.

In particular, Go Soo stated, "Han Sun-woo, played by Yoo Seung-jae in the drama, and Park Hyun-tae, whom I play, are characters with extremely different charms," and joked, "Kang Ji-ji, played by Park Min-young, must have had a hard time having to choose between two men."

Finally, Go Soo did not forget to express his affection for the work and gratitude toward the filming set. He said, "'Nine to Six' is a bright and warm work, so the filming set was also positive," adding, "All the staff and actors worked hard to create a positive environment. Everyone worked very hard, and I am grateful."

"Nine to Six" will air its first episode at 9 p.m. on the 25th.
