Actor Nam Ji-hyun (31) revealed her thoughts on successfully completing "My Dear Bandit."

KBS 2TV's Saturday-Sunday drama "My Dear Bandit" ended with 16th episode on the 22nd, recording a 7.6% viewer rating in the final episode, proving its popularity.

At the center of the box office was Nam Ji-hyun, an actor with 23 years of experience and the "standard of a well-grown child star." He improved the completeness of the play by digesting the complex characters of the righteous woman Hong Eun-jo during the day and righteous Gil-dong at night with excellent acting skills. On top of that, Moon Sang-min and soul-changing material played by Lee Yeol of Dowoldae-gun were chewy, and they mesmerized viewers with their desperate melodramatic breathing.

In a recent interview with Star News, Nam Ji-hyun said, "I still can't believe the drama is over. I heard that viewership is from heaven. I think the viewers enjoyed it, so I think it ended well," he said.

He then said, "My Dear Bandit is also being serviced on Netflix, and I was surprised by the high ranking. In particular, this time, I received a lot of calls from people around me saying, "My parents are enjoying it." "A drama where families can sit and watch together." I hoped it would be that kind of work, but it was good because it came true. I feel like I gave you a good present," he said, expressing joy.

Nam Ji-hyun also said, "I did quite a lot of script reading 'My Dear Bandit.' The situation was diverse and the characters had to meet in a variety of ways, and Eun-jo had a lot to do acting. I'm used to it, but I wanted to do it well in anticipation of being able to show you a new side of me. I thought a lot about how to act with different points of difference," he said.

When asked about the secret of the success of "My Dear Bandit," he said, "I think the script itself was a good drama. The story that writer Lee Sun wanted to say and the way to solve the relationship between the characters were clearly drawn. I thought it was a work that I only had to solve it well on the spot. In addition, "a narrative in which each other is saved by each other" seems to be a story that can impress people without going through the times. And if Eunjo and Yeol were the same, they even saved their lives and expanded even more. So I think I could have impressed you a little more deeply," he said, drawing high praise for his work.

What was his melodrama with Moon Sang-min, who is five years younger than him. Moon Sang-min expressed his special affection for Nam Ji-hyun in an interview at the end of "My Dear Bandit."

In response to this comment, Nam Ji-hyun smiled, saying, "I want to respond the same way." Soon after, he said, "When I think of (Moon) Sang-min, I'm actually only grateful. He prepared so much for the role, and he was reliable like Yeol. And he's a very pleasant style. I got a lot of energy thanks to this. On the screen, the boyishness comes out more, but in reality, he is full and has a cool feeling," he praised.

In addition, Moon Sang-min said, "In the field, (Nam) Ji-hyun was 'Ui-nyeo Hong Eun-jo' itself," conveying the story of Nam Ji-hyun, who took special care of child actors. In response, Nam Ji-hyun said, "It is true that more children are in the eye. I made my debut when I was 10, but these days, there are many friends who start younger than me. The weather was very hot at the time of filming, so it was a little help to keep asking if it was hot or if it was okay and caring. Not only me, but everyone else took good care of me. Sangmin used to buy ice cream. As it was a historical drama, there were many local shootings and the difficulty of the schedule itself, so there were many difficult moments together. Nevertheless, each other had a great power to 'cheer up'. The team atmosphere was really good," he said humbly.

At the same time, Nam Ji-hyun recalled her childhood. He said, "The staff really took care of me. Now that I think about it, I think they've thought a lot about how bored the baby would be. I remember that he showed me around the set during the waiting time and played word chain games.

Nam Ji-hyun, who has established himself as a reliable actor. He said, "He's been watching me a lot since I was young, so I think he's basically giving me faith. I also want to repay you, so my acting is not always satisfactory, so I always try to find things to fix and challenge a lot," he said with a serious attitude.

Is there a thirst for a change in acting. Nam Ji-hyun gave a glimpse of her detached mind, saying, "Wouldn't there be a chance someday?"

He said, "Now I'm free from something like that. Maybe transparency, honesty, characters I want to believe, that's my color. I think it's also an honor if my name emerges as a representative of this role. And I think there may be a production team that wants to break my appearance. "Let's use it as a villain and betray the viewers, and it could lead to this casting, so there's a lot of pressure on acting transformation," he said.

"Because I'm not going to finish acting for a while, I'm still in my early 30s, and when I get older, I think I'll have a chance to show you a new side of me." So I think what I have to prepare is to develop my inner air that I can digest when I have the opportunity," he said.

Nam Ji-hyun, who continued to show enthusiastic enthusiasm even though he was in his 23rd year. He said, "I was a child for 10 years. The goal was to grow in the public's head, but it went faster than I thought. Since I was a child for 10 years, I thought it would take 10 years to become an adult actor. But it was achieved about three to four years earlier. So, like a task in which each work has a clear goal, I've worked carefully and seriously. I'm a little free there now. I think I can show a new side of myself boldly, and the spectrum of the role coming in seems to be slightly different. It seems that my image that you want to see on the screen changes very slowly, so I think, 'Oh, this is a problem that time solves.' "I want to try cooking and doing this and that according to the flow," he said.

Finally, Nam Ji-hyun tipped off about her next film. He said, "Not long ago, I finished filming so that I could be nervous." It's been a long time since I've done a drama called "The Essence of Rocco (Romantic Comedy)." In fact, "My Dear Bandit" is close to youth growth, and I think it's the first authentic Rocco work in seven to eight years that "So that I Can Be Shaky" will be presented, raising expectations.
