On the 28th, a press conference for the new KBS 2TV weekend drama 'Prescription for Love' was held at The Saint in D-Cube City, Guro-gu, Seoul. The event was attended by actors Jin Se-yeon, Park Ki-woong, Kim Seung-soo, Yoo Ho-jung, Kim Hyung-mook, So Yi-hyun, and director Han Joon-seo.
'Prescription for Love' is a family makeup drama about two families entangled in a 30-year-long feud who eventually reconcile and heal each other's wounds, becoming one family.
In the drama, So Yi-hyun plays Cha Se-ri, the stepmother of Hyun-bin and the real power in the household. So Yi-hyun described her character as "a woman from a small town known only for her beauty. She is unfiltered and emotional, which might make her seem unlikable, but she is pure and lovely. Please show her lots of love."
So Yi-hyun pairs up with actor Kim Hyung-mook, who plays Yang Dong-ik, as her on-screen husband. She commented, "Yang Dong-ik is a challenging character, but Kim Hyung-mook is even more so. He is energetic and cheerful," she laughed. She then indirectly mentioned her husband, In Gyo-jin, saying, "There is someone similar at home."
When asked by reporters who is more difficult between Kim Hyung-mook and In Gyo-jin, So Yi-hyun replied, "Both are difficult." She added, "Even though I've lived with In Gyo-jin for a long time, he is still challenging. Kim Hyung-mook is also difficult, so it's tough both inside and outside. I'm happy to play a role where I can manage such a husband in this drama."
'Prescription for Love' is set to premiere on the 31st at 8 PM.
