50-year-old single Kim Byeong-cheol "I took on the role of a husband and pioneered the romantic comedy market with 'Doctor Cha Jeong-sook'"
Recently, I had an interview with actor Kim Byeong-cheol, who I met at a cafe in Gangnam-gu, Seoul, at the end of the JTBC Friday-Saturday drama 'Doctor Cha Jeong-sook'.
'Doctor Cha Jeong-sook', which ended on the 4th, is a work that contains the story of Cha Jeong-suk's life, from being a housewife for 20 years to becoming a resident for 1 year. In the play, Kim Byeong-cheol took on the role of Seo In-ho, the chief of colon and rectal surgery and Cha Jeong-suk's husband, and showed off his charm as a 'demonic man'. Even though he is a 'bad husband' who had a child out of wedlock with Choi Seung-hee, an adulterous woman, he managed to control the level of the play with his charm that he could not hate.
Although it is a medical drama genre, 'Doctor Cha Jeong-suk' recorded a high viewership rating of close to 20% by adding popularity and comicity to the realistic material of a career woman. In response, Kim Byeong-cheol said, "I was sure the script was interesting, but I didn't expect this level of popularity. I thought it would be nice to have double-digit ratings, but I'm so grateful that it came out better than I thought."
Kim Byeong-cheol, who appeared in big box office hits from 'Descendants of the Sun' to 'Sky Castle' and 'Mr. It seems to have drawn immersion,” he compared.
When asked what percentage he thought he had in the ratings of 'Doctor Cha Jung-sook', Byung-chul Kim said, "The story and overall balance of this work went well. Growth, emotions, and comics were well balanced. I also liked that." It seems to be one of the parts. I don't know how to separate it," he said modestly.
Currently unmarried, 50-year-old Kim Byeong-cheol said, "It's very difficult and burdensome" to play the role of husband and father.
What did you gain through 'Doctor Cha Jeong-sook'? He said, “As an actor, Kim Byeong-cheol, he pioneered a market called Rocco.” I want to try a role like Roy Kim (played by Min Woo-hyuk). I wonder if I can play a role like a long-legged man."
