Lee Sung-kyung revealed that she spent time away from the filming set with her close friend Kim Young-kwang to focus on Disney+'s 'Say It's Love'.
On the 10th, I met actor Lee Sung-kyung, who appeared in Disney+'s 'Say It's Love', at a cafe in Samcheong-dong, Seoul. Lee Sung-kyung played the role of Sim Woo-joo, who witnessed her father's infidelity as a child and lost her happiness overnight as a result.
Lee Sung-kyung, like Kim Young-kwang, is a model-turned-actor. Lee Sung-kyung said, "I've known my brother since our early 20s and we joke around with each other. We can't do that on set, right? My brother and I were far away. I didn't necessarily follow along. I had to do that for the sake of the work. After I got used to it to a certain extent, I took a break. “I joked around and did that. In the beginning, I needed time to focus on Woo-joo, and so did my brother.”
About Kim Young-kwang, "I was immersed in him because he showed good acting as a partner. He is an actor who takes good care of his partner. There were many things I was grateful for. There were times when I was difficult and exhausted while working, and even though it seemed like he was not taking care of me, he silently supported not only me but also other actors. “He took care of everything. There was a lot to learn,” he said. He continued, "I worry about every little scene on set. Even if it's a scene that seems like it will be good, I think about it repeatedly and go to the director and talk to the director until the end. I thought he didn't do anything wasted and did it until the end. It made me reflect. I learned a lot."
When asked if there was anything new about Kim Young-kwang, Lee Sung-kyung praised him, saying, "I'm personally close to him, but as a fan, I like actor Kim Young-kwang's acting. I was surprised to see that he is a more cautious person than I thought. He is an actor who worries in any scene." .
It is said that the director said that due to the deeply lyrical acting of the two people, there would be a misunderstanding that they were dating. At the press conference for 'Say It's Love' held at Marina Bay Sands in Singapore on December 12 last year, director Lee Gwang-young said, "There was talk in the editing room that Kim Young-kwang and Lee Sung-kyung were dating." Lee Sung-kyung said, "I liked that there was nothing forced about Kim Young-kwang, as we have been together for a long time. While editing the first and second parts, the director said that it seemed like they were dating just by being together, and there was a response in the editing room that the two had good chemistry. It would be misunderstood that they were dating. They said it was the same and the editing room was going crazy. Nowadays, all the work is filmed and released, so the only place where you can see the reaction when filming is in the editing room. I didn't believe it, saying, 'They're glaring at me, but what can they do?' I think they said that to cheer me on. “He laughed.
'Say It's Love' is an emotional romance between a man and a woman who should never have met, a woman named Shim Woo-joo (played by Lee Sung-kyung) who is eager to seek revenge, and a man who becomes the target of revenge, Han Dong-jin (played by Kim Young-kwang). The final episode will be released on the 12th.
