Actress Ahn Eun-jin, “After reading the script for the drama ‘Lovers,’ I wanted to run away.”

Actress Ahn Eun-jin mentioned that she felt pressured while filming ‘Lovers’.

Actress Ahn Eun-jin, who was loved for her role as Yoo Gil-chae in the MBC drama 'Lovers', appeared as a guest on tvN's 'You Quiz on the Block' (hereinafter referred to as 'You Quiz'), which aired on the 6th.

On this day, Ahn Eun-jin expressed her feelings about successfully completing ‘Lovers’. Ahn Eun-jin said, "I am grateful that we were able to finish it safely and without anyone getting hurt. I am spending the end of the year with a grateful heart for the love that has been given to 'Lovers'," and mentioned her thoughts on filming 'Lovers' over the past year. After the end of the show, he said, "After filming was over, I continued to sleep. Even while watching TV, I fell asleep without realizing it. I slept even after eating."

MC Yoo Jae-seok appeared on MBC's entertainment program 'What do you do when you hang out?' He told an anecdote about filming a cameo in 'Lovers'. Eun-jin Ahn praised the actor, saying, “The acting is just average,” and Jae-seok Yoo said, “I received a lot of praise from the director.” Additionally, Yoo Jae-seok carefully mentioned the controversy over Ahn Eun-jin's miscasting that arose when 'Lovers' was first aired. Yoo Jae-seok said, “I said, ‘No, just watch it,’ and it showed in the results.” In response, Ahn Eun-jin said, "Before 'Lovers', I worked on a work called 'Bad Mom', but I was very sick. I couldn't film at all, so I took a month off before filming 'Lovers'. I wanted to rest well, but I had to film, so I took medicine. “I ate it and there were side effects,” he said.

He continued, "Preparing in that situation made me feel more pressure. After the script reading, I really wanted to run away. This was my first time doing a long-running historical drama. On the other hand, I thought, 'I will have really grown a lot when I finish this.' In the end, time was running out. He added, “I learned that difficult things will pass and worries will end.”

Ahn Eun-jin, who said that one side of her face became paralyzed during filming, said, "I had a strange feeling in my right jaw. I went to the hospital during filming, but it didn't get better right away. Even if I just walked for 10 minutes, my knee was so swollen that I couldn't bend down and sit down. This happened last year. “I wrote it down, and on the medicine envelope I wrote ‘Cure Project.’ I actually received a lot of strength while playing Gil-chae. I think the strength of the character and the power of the lines strengthened me throughout the filming,” he explained. .

Actor Namgoong Min, who played the role of Lee Jang-hyun, who co-starred in the drama 'Lovers', also praised Ahn Eun-jin in a video interview. Namgoong Min said, "Ahn Eun-jin is a junior I'm attached to. She whined that it was hard, but in fact, she was doing so well that I could just watch her. I really liked the scene where Eun-jin sat alone and cried after all these years. I thought she was a person who was really good at empathizing, but there was nothing dramatic about it." “It was really nice to see the actor do everything with his emotions through just one performance,” he praised.

In addition, Ahn Eun-jin revealed that there were 11 couples in Team A alone who developed into real-life lovers while filming 'Lovers'. To Yoo Jae-seok and Jo Se-ho, who were surprised, Ahn Eun-jin burst out laughing, saying, "I'm very proud. There could be a couple here too."
