Lim Jae-hyuk "After breaking up with my girlfriend, I cried while watching 'A Man and a Woman' in the military."
On the 26th, the production presentation for Channel A's new Tuesday drama 'A Man and a Woman' was broadcast live online. Actors Lee Dong-hae, Lee Seol, Lim Jae-hyuk, Choi Won-myeong, Kim Hyun-mok, and Park Jeong-hwa attended the event.
'A Man and a Woman' is a work that tells the realistic and relatable love story of young people wandering in love and boredom, who encounter each other in front of a motel elevator on the night of the 7th year since they met, while they were next to another person of the opposite sex.
Lee Dong-hae and Lee Seol played the roles of Jeong Hyeon-seong and Han Seong-ok, a long-term couple in a seven-year relationship. Donghae revealed the reason for his choice, saying, "I haven't seen the original webtoon. I came across the webtoon after receiving the script, and as soon as I saw it, I felt like I would regret it if I didn't do it."
Lee Seol "I was a fan of the original work. When the offer came in, I said I didn't want to read it," he said. "There's a lot to talk about. Couples in long-term relationships, couples who can't forget their first love, and couples who develop from friends to lovers are so realistic that it'll be fun. “I thought,” he said.
Lim Jae-hyuk takes on the role of Oh Min-hyuk, a friend of Yoon Ye-joo (played by Kim Hye-ryeong) who has been friends for 15 years. Lim Jae-hyuk said, "I saw the webtoon while in the military. After breaking up with my girlfriend at the time, I came across the 'Man and Woman' webtoon. From then on, I became a huge fan. I heard it was going to be a drama and I really wanted to do it."
When asked if there were any stories of his own among the contents of 'Man and Woman,' Lim Jae-hyuk added, "I think it was a little mixed. I remember crying while watching it."
