Actor Kim Hyung-mok shared his personal thoughts on the conclusion of 'Love Prescription'.

On the morning of the 20th, Kim Hyung-mok met with StarNews at a café on Nonhyeon-ro in Gangnam-gu, Seoul, for an interview marking the finale of KBS 2TV weekend drama 'Love Prescription' (script by Park Ji-sook, directed by Han Jun-seo, hereinafter referred to as 'Love Prescription').

'Love Prescription' is a family makeup drama about two families entangled in misfortune for 30 years who resolve their misunderstandings, embrace each other's wounds, and are ultimately reborn as one family.

Kim Hyung-mok portrayed the cheerful Yang Ji-ba, playing the role of a devoted husband who showed unwavering love toward his second wife, Cha Se-ri (played by So Yi-hyun). After his biological daughter Choi Min-seo (played by Park Ri-won) returned to the United States following their difficult reunion, Yang Dong-ik felt empty. To fill that void in Cha Se-ri's heart, he entrusted his son Yang Hyun-bin (played by Park Ki-woong) with a request and made efforts to comfort her.

Kim Hyung-mok began his acting career in 1999 with the musical 'Cats'. He has built a solid foundation of acting skills by working across both stage and screen. He has showcased a wide range of acting spectrum, portraying both good and evil characters in dramas such as 'Undercover Miss Hong', 'The Tyrant's Chef', 'Vincenzo', 'Exorcist', films including 'COLONY' and 'There's No Way Out', and the musical 'Suga'.

-How was your acting chemistry with actress So Yi-hyun in 'Love Prescription'?

▶Meeting Lee Hyun-i was a miracle. She even told me, 'I think you'll get along well with In-kyo-jun oppa.' She is so positive, beautiful, and has a wonderful personality. I hope to win the Best Couple Award alongside Seung-su hyung at the year-end awards. I am grateful to have met such a great partner. Mr. In-kyo-jin briefly visited me during my 'SUGAR' performance, and he seemed like a very kind person.

-How was your chemistry with actor Kim Seung-su?

▶Meeting Hyung Seung-su was a blessing. Meeting other actors such as Ki-woong and Se-yeon was also a blessing. Hyung Seung-su was truly fair and treated me like a friend. Whenever I had complicated thoughts while acting, he offered me many pieces of advice. During the scene where Ki-woong and Se-yeon get married, we said to each other, 'We're still single, yet here we are.' (laughs)

-What will happen to Yang Dong-ik afterward?

▶He plans to become a city councilor. He seems like he will become even more dignified.

-In reality, what kind of father do you want to be in the future?

▶Colleagues often ask me, 'Why haven't you gotten married yet?' They say I would truly love children. Even now, I believe the most beautiful aspect of life is family and love.

-You have shown intense characters in previous works such as 'The Tyrant's Chef' and 'Undercover Miss Hong'.

▶Fortunately, those works were well-received. Although I have been acting for a long time, it has only been 10 years since I transitioned to screen acting. When I act, I often feel as if someone inside me takes over and performs. I believe that if one is always prepared, some kind of fate or energy will come. That is why I strive to live humbly. I am living intensely.
