Kang Hoon opened up about the hardships of filming a historical drama.
On the 15th, an online production presentation for SBS' new Monday-Tuesday drama 'Flower Scholar's Lover' was held. Director Kim Jung-min and actors Shin Ye-eun, Ryeowoon, Kang Hoon, Jeong Geon-ju, Oh Man-seok, and Han Chae-ah attended.
Shin Ye-eun was the youngest daughter of a wealthy noble family, but after becoming the head of the household, she played the role of Yoon Dan-oh, who runs the Summer Palace, a guesthouse that provides rented rooms to scholars from all over to prepare for the civil service examination. Ryeowoon played the role of Kang San, a martial arts student who hides a subtle kindness behind his harsh appearance. Kang Hoon played Kim Si-yeol, a liberal arts student with a typical Korean style who likes to play. Jeong Geon-joo appears as Jeong Yoo-ha, a person with a delicate personality who is sensitive to the feelings of others.
Jang Tae-hwa, played by Oh Man-seok, is a Hanseongbu judge and the actual owner of Buyeonggak, and is tracking down Lee Seol, a descendant of the deceased. Han Chae-ah played the role of Hwaryeong, the guardian of Buyeonggak.
Kang Hoon said, “When I watched up to episode 4, I was curious about the back story and I liked a certain line, but I can’t reveal it now. And I wanted to decorate the character Siyeol well. “I coveted the role, the work, and the director,” he said, laughing.
Kang Hoon, who has experience appearing in historical dramas such as ‘Red Sleeves’ and ‘Rookie Historian Goo Hae-ryeong’, said, “In both works, I was inside the palace, but this is the first time I have come out of the palace. “At the palace, I had to pay less attention to etiquette and was a little more free,” he said. He continued, “It’s hard to kneel in the palace. This is not normal. “It was nice to be able to do it cross-legged now,” he joked.
‘Kkotseonbi Romance’ is a refreshing, mysterious, close-knit romance created by four youths, Yoon Dan-oh, the owner of Ewhawon, a boarding house that breaks stereotypes, and the trio of boarders, Kkotseonbi, who harbor secrets. It will be aired for the first time at 10 pm on the 20th.
