Actor Baek Sung-chul said he worked out hard to film Drunk Romance.

Baek Seong-cheol met with this newspaper at the Sports Chosun headquarters in Mok-dong, Yangcheon-gu, Seoul on the 11th and `I worked hard to fully digest Chan-hwi's character"Increased 3-4 kilograms of muscle and lost 5-6 kilograms of body fat." he said.

The ENA Monday-Tuesday drama 「Drunk Romance」, which ended on the 10th, depicts a romance that will attract the excitement of Minju, the representative of Brewery, who catches emotions with Yongju, the sales king of liquor companies, who is natural to hide emotions. Director Park Seon-ho, who showed outstanding directing skills in a number of romantic comedies such as 「In-house Confrontation」 and 「Doubtable Partner」, has completed another addictive romance in partnership with new writer Lee Jung-shin.

Baek Sung-cheol "I had to play a different character than the previous one, so I prepared a lot and agonized a lot before I started filming. Se-jeong, Jong-won, Do-hyun, and I finished filming well in a friendly atmosphere with actors of my age "And my parents also watched the main broadcast every Monday and Tuesday unconditionally. 'Tell me you love me' was a special appearance, so he was disappointed to come out for a while, and 'Somehow, the country diary' was an OTT public work. In a way, 'Drinking Romance' was the first TV drama in three years since 'Watching', so it seemed to have a special meaning.

Baek Sung-cheol played the role of Cheon Ho-hwi, a best friend of recruitmentism and a free spirit who drives a toast truck around the country. As for how he came to join the work, he said "At first, the director gave me an offer, so we had a meeting and started filming right away." Then "I usually have a little low tension, but Chan-hwi is high, so I was thinking about how to raise the tension, and I found 'Confession Jar". I remember buying it and shouting for 5 seconds in the car and going into the shoot. Since Chan Hwi's narrative is dark, I thought I should raise my tension a little high at first and make the tone heavy from parts 9 to 10," he added.

In particular, his extraordinary affection for the character was also seen. "After living as Chan-hwi for five to six months, the habit was ingrained in my body. For example, when I wake up, I brush my teeth, and when I open the refrigerator door, I talk to myself that I haven't done before, saying, "Shall I drink some cool water?" I thought Chan-hwi was still in my body, so I was surprised.

I talked about what I cared about visually as well as acting. Baek Sung-cheol "Before filming, I did a lot of weight training and aerobic exercise to build my body. He increased his muscle by 3 to 4 kilograms and lost 5 to 6 kilograms of body fat. I'm so satisfied with my current condition and I'm trying to keep it going in the future to prepare for my next film."
