Netflix series "Monthly Boyfriend" released a question-and-answer between Jisoo and Seo In-guk.

The heated response to the 'monthly boyfriend' continues. According to the Netflix Tudum TOP 10 website on the 18th, "Monthly Boyfriend" ranked No. 1 in the global Top 10 non-English show category and was listed on the Top 10 list of 47 countries around the world. On top of that, it also topped the TV-OTT integrated drama for the second week of March announced by Good Data Corporation Fundex, realizing its popularity for two consecutive weeks.

Jisoo and Seo In-guk are also loved by drama fans, ranking first and second in the cast's popularity. Ji-Soo was hurt by the breakup, but she empathized with the role of "Future" who courageously loves again, and Seo In-guk played two roles, including "Gyeongnam" in reality and "Gu Young-il," a customized lover who exists in the virtual world, to give excitement.

Ji-Soo said, "Since it's a romance genre, I thought chemistry with the other actor was important, but I'm always grateful that actor Seo In-guk made me comfortable and took good care of me, so I enjoyed filming." and added, "I think 'Monthly Boyfriend' is a story with excitement and realistic emotions. I hope the viewers will sympathize with each other in their own way and remember it for a long time," he added. Seo In-guk also said, "Ji-Soo has a bright and lovely energy that makes everyone feel good. "Thanks to this, the scene was always full of laughter," he said, expressing his affection for the work, "I hope it will be remembered as a new genre, a new romantic comedy because it is a work with a fresh and unique worldview."

Q. Do you have any memorable reviews from viewers and people around you

Ji-Soo: I've heard a lot that I sympathized with him because it's a more realistic story than I thought. In particular, I remember the reaction that he sympathized with the moment when he couldn't even start because he was afraid of the end after experiencing the pain of a relationship in which the future passed. Some people said that the feelings and concerns felt by the future were like seeing themselves. I felt good because the time I thought about the future character was well conveyed while filming. However, I also wanted to tell you that I don't want you to be heartbroken for too long because of the past love.

Seo In-guk: It was fun to see the reaction of the fans who talked about who was better between Gyeongnam and Young-il. Park Gyeong-nam is a character with sensitivity in bluntness and Koo Young-il is a specific and outgoing character, so I thought they had very different charms, but I hope that was seen well by the viewers.

Q. What was the process of making characters with director Jungsik Kim?

Ji-Soo: The future is a person who accidentally meets a service called "Monthly Boyfriend" and gets comforted by his tired heart from reality, but also experiences wounds in the process. I think I talked a lot with the director about how the future overcomes the wounds and moves forward again. In addition, the moment I faced Gyeongnam between reality and virtuality, I kept talking about what emotions and thoughts the future would be.

Seo In-guk: First, we thought about the difference in external aspects together. Gyeongsangnam-do tried to set a more cheerful tone with red hair if she was wearing glasses and a calm voice. I experienced the double role once during 'King of High School Taxes', and this is my second time, and it was very fun. There is only one actor, and it is difficult to give a difference in appearance and tone of voice, but depending on how you do it, it may feel excessive or insufficient, so I tried to find the rightness.

Q. Our biggest strength and the atmosphere on the set

Ji-Soo: Since it's a romance genre, I thought chemistry with the other actor was important, but I'm always grateful that the actor Seo In-guk made me comfortable and took good care of me, and I think I enjoyed filming. We had a meeting together before filming, and when we were talking about what our characters were feeling, we matched them together. I tried to dress together as their relationship changed. Above all, actor Seo In-guk got along well with all the staff in the field, so the set was always full of laughter. I think that's why I was able to show more good scenes. He was an actor who had a lot of things to learn personally, and I think everyone who filmed with Seo In-guk felt similar. (laughs)

Seo In-guk: Ji-Soo has a bright and lovely energy that makes everyone feel good. Thanks to this, the scene was always full of laughter. When we worked together on the spot, we discussed every scene and rehearsed. Also, he is an actor with a lot of ideas, so I learned a lot in the process of discussing together.

Q. My favorite scene from "Monthly Boyfriend"

Ji-Soo: Many scenes come to mind, but I remember the scene where Kyung-nam and I checked each other's feelings in front of the future house on a snowy day. I felt like the scene where Gyeongnam said, "Is it that bad to change?" to the future, who was afraid of the end of the relationship, was an important moment to change her future thoughts. Of course, Gyeongnam's straight approach before that also played a part.(Laughs) There are many exciting scenes in the virtual world, but personally, I think the scenes in reality are more memorable for a long time.

Seo In-guk: I like Young-il's first scene the most. It's an impactful and shocking scene where it turns out that you're playing two roles.(Laughs) And there were a lot of excitement after realizing that Mirae and Gyeongnam like each other, and the most memorable scene was the scene where Mirae found a bottle cap when Gyeongnam was drunk and collected bottle caps.

Q. How do you want your "Monthly Boyfriend" to be remembered by viewers

I think 'Monthly Boyfriend' is a story that contains both excitement and realistic emotions. I hope the viewers will sympathize with each other in their own way and remember it for a long time.

Seo In-guk : I hope it will be remembered as a new genre, a new romantic comedy, because it has such a fresh and unique world view.

Q. What to watch for those who haven't seen "Monthly Boyfriend" yet

Ji-Soo: It's a piece where you can enjoy various dates in a virtual world and stories of the future in reality together. Even if you start lightly, I think you'll naturally be curious about the next story. If you haven't watched "Monthly Boyfriend" yet, I hope you can start comfortably.

Seo In-guk: As I said earlier, I hope you will follow the fresh world view, the future, and the narrative of Gyeongnam. And I hope you watch the tension and the growth of the two characters with the appearance of Koo Young-il.
