Actor Lee Si-woo personally expressed his feelings about the end of "Love Me."
Lee Si-woo met with Star News on the 23rd after an interview on JTBC's Friday drama "Love Me" (directed by Cho Young-min, scripted by Park Eun-young and Park Hee-kwon).
"Love Me" depicts a story of a slightly selfish, perhaps more ordinary family growing up starting their own love. "Love Me" is based on the original Swedish series of the same name created by Josephine Bornebusch, starring Lee Si-woo, Seo Hyun-jin, Yoo Jae-myung, Yoon Se-ah, Jang Ryul and TWICE Dahyun.
In the play, Lee Si-woo plays Seo Jun-seo, the younger brother of Joon-kyung (Seo Hyun-jin). I feel sorry for my dad, who sacrifices for his family, but I don't want to take responsibility, so I go to graduate school with my sister's help, but I'm an immature child drunk on romance with my girlfriend.
Seo Jun-seo is a younger brother character who is familiar to siblings and is a graduate student who is not sure about the future yet. When he encounters Seo Jun-kyung, who has one older sister, he is busy snarling and finding fault with each other. My undergraduate degree majored in astronomy, but my graduate school went to the Department of Cultural Convergence and asked Seo Jun-kyung, "What do you want to do as a doctor? "You're reversing your career path," he says, but responds, "You think you're the best in the universe, right?"
Seo Jun-seo is late for class because she spends time with Yoon-sol (Kim Shana), who appears as her girlfriend at the beginning of the play, and she screams because she doesn't like Yoon-sol wearing a short skirt. She also has a hard time with DAHYUN of TWICE who plays Ji Hye-on, her best friend in the middle, and she has an awkward relationship with her impulsive kiss. Lee Si-woo realistically depicted a clumsy 20-something who could not control his feelings of love by himself.
Lee Si-woo, a native of Han Ye-jong, drew attention for his role as Yoon Min-jae in the original Genie TV "Paper Moon." Since then, in the Coupang Play series "Boy's Generation," he has shown solid acting and excellent character digestibility through Asan white tiger "Jeong Kyung-tae," who conquered the school with one fist, and tvN's "Love on a Single Tree Bridge."
-Personally, how did the ending of "Love Me" come to you.
▶After Jun-seo and Hye-on had a big conflict in Part 11, Jun-seo looks back on herself, and I'm glad it went well with Hye-on again.
-What made you decide to appear on "Love Me" after receiving the script for the first time?
▶The script "Love Me" was more everyday than fantasy, so it was attractive. I was also waiting for an everyday and deficient character like Junseo.
-What do you think viewers particularly loved about "Love Me".
▶ It depicts a stark reality that resembles our lives and is difficult to see unless it is a drama. I really sympathized with the ending of the second part of the narration, "My loneliness is more important than my terrible sadness." Even though Junseo's mind is complicated after a big fight with his family, it seems that it was also realistic to see what his girlfriend was doing on social media. The scene was a funny scene.
-How did Seo Jun-seo prepare and act.
▶What the director emphasized the most was that it should never be cool. I was confident in that part.(Laughs) Even in the outfit, Junseo didn't have her own style and thought she would just wear it. Junseo was immature and didn't seem to know where he would bounce without refining.
-If you explain the similarities and incomprehension between Jun-seo and actor Lee Si-woo?
▶There were many characteristic similarities. Doesn't everyone have a bit of a geek and clunky part. Such parts were similar, but there were many things that were difficult to sympathize with in the situation. I tried to imagine as much as I could because I had never experienced a reaction when Sol said, "I slept with Bum-joon," or a situation where my father had a girlfriend.
-There was also a viewer's response that he did not understand "Love Me" because he drew nive love.
▶There were also many different reactions as to whether the sister-in-law could be so angry. When the father said he was selling the house, the son's reaction was also divided into "I don't understand" and "I don't understand." These seem to be so natural responses. Our lives are not always logical, are they. I wondered, "How can he do that?" and there seemed to be more cases than dramas. Since the lives of viewers will be different, the characters that each person sympathizes with will be different.
-Jun-seo became a lover with Hye-on, a "girl friend," and actor Lee Si-woo thinks that men and women have lifelong friends.
▶It seems difficult for a man and a woman to be friends for life. I think you need a proper distance to be friends. In my case, I think I only have acquaintances who I know while running.
-Junseo showed a lot of scenes like Seo Hyun-jin and "real brother and sister" in the play. How do you feel about meeting actor Seo Hyun-jin as a brother and sister?
▶It was an interesting point. I was also told that he looked like Hyunjin. The senior played well how Jun-seo and Jun-kyung scratch each other, so I was able to respond with fun.
-You met singer Dahyun of TWICE as an actor. How was your acting.
▶ Hye-on and Jun-seo were childhood friends for 20 years, so they were different from other romance. It was homework because we had to be comfortable with each other from the beginning of the drama. My sister said that we should talk comfortably first, but she became comfortable, and I tried acting anew. I tried to comfortably pull out tissues and throw them when I ate in the drama, and to show them opening the refrigerator comfortably when I went home. The name "TWICE" is too big, but since I met him as "Love Me," I didn't see him as an "idol-turned-actor" but as a character. There were many surprising moments, but my sister's eyes were so good when she acted, and she seemed to have no fear of challenging herself. I prepared a lot of activities, so I was able to enjoy filming.
