Director Jung Yeo-jin Praises Rising Star Bae In-hyuk in New Drama 'I'll Give You the Universe'
On the afternoon of the 27th of last month, the production presentation for tvN's new Wednesday-Thursday drama 'I'll Give You the Universe' was broadcast live online. The event was attended by actors Bae In-hyuk, Roh Jeong-eui, Park Seo-ham, as well as directors Lee Hyun-seok and Jung Yeo-jin. During the event, 20-month-old actor Park Yoo-ho, who plays the role of Woo-joo, made a surprise appearance, drawing attention.
Director Jung Yeo-jin commented on the lead actors Bae In-hyuk, Roh Jeong-eui, and Park Seo-ham, saying, "Each of them shines individually, and together they are dazzling." Regarding Bae In-hyuk, she said, "The character Tae-hyung is someone for whom personal space and possessions are crucial due to childhood trauma. I was concerned that this character might come across as uncomfortable." She continued, "Bae In-hyuk brought the character to life with his detailed and nuanced performance, making Tae-hyung a captivating character that viewers will want to support and watch closely." She added, "I believe he is one of the most outstanding actors in his 20s, with a broad range of skills. I relied on him a lot on set, and even now, I find him very dependable."
Bae In-hyuk plays the role of Seon Tae-hyung, a seemingly cold but warm-hearted assistant photographer. He stated, "I worked hard to portray Tae-hyung's transformation in a charming way. His prickly personality stems from pain and lack, and there are expressive aspects to it." He added, "As he meets Hyun-jin and Woo-joo, he gradually opens up, and I tried to subtly express the changes in his facial muscles and expressions."
He further expressed, "It wasn't easy. However, if viewers pay close attention to these details, I believe they will find him even more appealing."
'I'll Give You the Universe' is set to premiere on the 4th at 10:40 PM.
