Actor Lee Jong-won expressed his feelings about working with Kim Hye-yoon.
On the 2nd, at a cafe in Samcheong-ro, Jongno-gu, Seoul, I met with actress Kim Hye-yoon of the movie "Salmokji" (director Lee Sang-min) and talked about various things.
A horror film that takes place when an unidentified figure is taken in the road view of "Salmokji" and the filming team headed to the reservoir for a re-shot faces something in the dark and deep water.
Lee Jong-won will take on his first commercial movie lead and first horror role as Yoon Ki-tae, an on-road media producer and ex-boyfriend of "Su-in" (played by Kim Hye-yoon), who joins the Salmokji belatedly.
He said, "People who watched the movie often imagine what kind of relationship the two would have had. There are many predictions that I would have been dumped by Su-in, but I don't know, but "Gi-tae" definitely had a heart left, and I think that heart was bigger than I thought. I thought that was what Gitae was like. I say it's regrettable, but I think it's love," he stressed.
As for his chemistry with Kim Hye-yoon, Lee Jong-won said, "I became close quickly as if I had known him for a long time since I first met him," adding, "I felt that he was an actor who showed various colors depending on the opponent, and made people feel comfortable quickly."
"Thanks to him, I was able to naturally immerse myself in the setting of my ex-lover," he said. "The filming period was not long, about three months, but I could see why everyone was doing Kim Hye-yoon and Kim Hye-yoon. He is a person who is friendly and not superfluous."
He said, "There were a lot of greed for each other, so the fun of acting was great."
Lee Jong-won cited Kim Hye-yoon as a mood maker and said, "The filming site is dark, dull, and humid, but I think he always approached me like a puppy without losing his smile. Rather than the feeling of lifting the atmosphere, it felt like a person itself became brighter just by greeting," he praised.
