'Agency' Jo Seong-ha "I thought it would be difficult to become friends with Lee Bo-young"
On the 27th, I met actor Jo Seong-ha of JTBC's Saturday-Sunday drama 'Agency' at a cafe in Apgujeong-dong, Seoul.
'Agency' is a work that depicts Go Ah-in (played by Lee Bo-young), who became the first female executive at an advertising agency VC group, and builds her career to reach the top position. It ended on the 26th.
Jo Seong-ha played the role of Choi Chang-soo, head of the VC planning planning division, who has walked the elite course with a solid path.
Choi Chang-soo, who had gone to any lengths to bring Go A-in down, ended up leaving the company in the last episode while cheering for Go A-in. In response, Jo Seong-ha said, "I am very grateful that I was able to go out as a human being at least in the end. The writer promised me from the beginning that I would write the ending with great care. At the end, I would show at least a little of my human side and leave. “Thank you for doing it,” he said.
When asked about filming the scene where he leaves the office with his luggage in the lobby, Jo Seong-ha said, "The director was sick with the coronavirus and couldn't come out, so we had to film it remotely. We did it through a video call on a smartphone."
He also talked about his acting chemistry with actors such as Lee Bo-young and Son Na-eun. Jo Seong-ha said, "I thought it would be difficult to get to know Lee Bo-young based on first impressions. However, she is friendly to the actors and staff and knows how to give a lot of things first. After filming, she offers to have a small meal with the actors and a beer together. “I thought he was a better person than I thought because he was an actor with good leadership skills,” he said.
He continued, "Son Na-eun is attractive in and of herself, but she does her best with what she is given on set. Kang Han-na's character is not an easy role. It is one of the difficult roles to play, but I can see the things she has practiced to do faithfully. “He added.
He also praised, "The character of Jo Eun-jung, played by Jeon Hye-jin, is a very easy-going and clumsy person, but in reality, she is not like that. She is a calm, quick-tempered person who thinks about the atmosphere of those around her and is very considerate."
