Kim Ji-eun, who is making her first historical drama challenge with this work, expressed her affection for the work and her feelings on the field. He has always had a desire to challenge the genre of historical dramaThere was a lot of pressure, but there were many people who had a lot of experience in historical dramas, such as the main actors, Bae In-hyuk, Jeong Geon-ju, and Kim Eui-sung, so I could lean on them a lot," he said.
As for how I felt about playing the role of a male and female costume, "I tried to make more of the parts that viewers would find funny" The part that I thought the most was to show a natural expression so that there would be no difference in the role of a male and female costume", he explained. "I also thought about the makeup step by step and prepared it by talking a lot with the production team to express it appropriately according to the atmosphere of the drama."," he added.
He then said he discovered new beautiful scenes in Korea during the filming process. "While filming, I realized that there are so many beautiful and good places in Korea." "There were some difficulties because it was far from the scene, but I finished the filming with a happy heart."," he said.
Meanwhile, Channel A's new Saturday-Sunday drama 'Check-in Hanyang' will premiere on Channel A at 9:10 p.m. on the 21st following 'Marry You'.
