Actors Yoo Yeon-seok and Seo Hyun-jin shared their thoughts on reuniting after 10 years for the new work, "Liar."

MBC's new Friday-Saturday drama "Liar" (directed by Cho Young-min / written by Baek Jae-young) is a high-density psychological thriller depicting two men and women, Min Jun-ho (played by Yoo Yeon-seok) and Kang Ji-sun (played by Seo Hyun-jin), who fiercely collide in pursuit of the truth while making diametrically opposed claims over a single memory. With its intriguing premise that "one of the two protagonists is lying," it promises to powerfully grip viewers' hearts through unpredictable and bold developments.

In particular, "Liar" is generating buzz with the 10th-year reunion of Yoo Yeon-seok and Seo Hyun-jin, actors known for their reliability. The two actors, who wrote a viewing rate myth of up to 27.6% with the 2016 SBS drama "Romantic Doctor, Teacher Kim," are set to deliver a fiery acting clash as they meet in a relationship completely different from 10 years ago. Accordingly, we directly heard from the two actors about their experience acting together after a long time.

First, Yoo Yeon-seok said of Seo Hyun-jin, "Although we met again after 10 years, it felt less unfamiliar and more welcoming and comfortable. Because there is trust between us, we were able to rely on each other even in emotionally difficult scenes, while also receiving acting energy from the other during filming."

He continued, "In this work, the tension and emotional changes between the two characters are important, but Seo Hyun-jin is an actor who accepts the other person's words and actions very sensitively while conveying her own emotions with great density. Thanks to Seo Hyun-jin's focus, I was also able to immerse myself deeply in every scene, and it was interesting that we could trust each other's acting and react accordingly."

Seo Hyun-jin also spoke about Yoo Yeon-seok, whom she reunited with after 10 years, saying, "In the early stages, there were parts where I thought, 'He has changed so much,' which made it enjoyable to watch Yoo Yeon-seok's acting. And as filming progressed, it was good and comfortable that I could act while trusting Yoo Yeon-seok."

She added, "I felt that Yoo Yeon-seok is an actor who definitely fulfills his role. Also, he tends to come up with many ideas on set, which helped make the scenes richer. He gave me the belief that '(Yoo Yeon-seok) will take it well' no matter what acting I did. So I was truly grateful." Just from their answers, one can guess how much the two actors relied on each other and how they displayed top-notch acting chemistry and synergy.

The first episode of "Liar" airs at 9:50 p.m. on the 30th.
