Actress Noh Yoon-seo shared her impressions of working alongside Cho Seung-woo in 'Donggung'.

On the 23rd, we met with Noh Yoon-seo, an actress in the Netflix series 'Donggung', at a café on Samcheong-ro, Jongno-gu, Seoul, to discuss various topics.

'Donggung' is a Netflix series that follows the story of Gucheon (played by Nam Joo-hyuk), who has the ability to cross between the world of the living and the dead, and Saenggang (played by Noh Yoon-seo), a palace maid hiding a secret. The two are summoned by the king (played by Cho Seung-woo) and uncover the curse that haunts Donggung Palace.

Noh Yoon-seo revealed that she received significant help from senior actors while adapting to historical drama acting.

"I received much advice from senior actors on rhythm and the tone of historical dramas," she said. "Listening to their guidance, I gradually found my footing." She added, "Since there were many relatively everyday conversations with Gucheon, I tried not to overthink the historical drama tone but instead focus on the chemistry between the two characters. However, when acting alongside senior actors, the historical drama tone naturally flowed, so I made an effort to concentrate more on emotions and situations rather than just speech patterns."

Regarding her chemistry with Cho Seung-woo, she said, "He always seemed so distant, but on set, he was very playful and helped create a relaxed atmosphere among the cast." She continued, "When acting together, I drew a lot of energy from him, which guided me to naturally portray Saenggang." She expressed her gratitude.

She further added, "Even in the process of building one character, I realized how deeply he thinks. Seeing his detailed approach made me wonder why I hadn't thought that far myself, and I learned a great deal from it."

Noh Yoon-seo also revealed Cho Seung-woo's surprising charm off-camera. "He is truly mischievous," she said with a smile. "I think our sense of humor matched well. On set, he suddenly started dancing to many girl group songs. He even danced to aespa's 'Whiplash' and NewJeans' 'Super Shy', so I ended up joining in."

She continued, "Once, I jokingly told him that his fan was very 'new generation,' and later he actually gave me that same fan as a gift. He even decorated it with stickers, and I still remember being deeply moved by that gesture."
