Director Myung Hyun-woo and leading actors Bae In-hyuk, Kim Ji-eun, Jung Geon-ju and Park Jae-chan attended the production presentation of 『Check-in Hanyang" held at the Eliena Hotel in Gangnam-gu, Seoul on the morning of the 17th to show their affection and confidence in the work.
Check-in Hanyang (scripted by Park Hyun-jin and directed by Myung Hyun-woo) is a youth historical drama about the growth of left-handed stones and romance experienced by young people who gathered to achieve their goals against the backdrop of Joseon's largest female pavilion 'Yongcheonru'. Director Myung Hyun-woo "Adding the hotel grammar that might have existed during the Joseon Dynasty, the fictional Joseon version of the hotel is modern and antique.", emphasizing the originality of the work.
First, Bae In-hyuk played the role of Prince Lee Eun, who hid his identity and entered 'Yongcheonru'. Bae In-hyuk revealed the background of his appearance, saying, `In the previous historical drama work, it appeared briefly or mixed with modern drama, but in this work, I wanted to experience leading the character from beginning to end.' What distinguishes him from his previous work is that he tried not only to be a hard and right prince, but also to hang out with his friends and show his clumsy and cute side", foreshadowing a different charm.
Kim Ji-eun plays Hong Deok-soo, who lives as a male and female player, and is making her first attempt at the historical drama genre. Kim Ji-eun "I paid close attention to makeup and costumes to make the character look natural without any sense of heterogeneity," Kim said. "I enjoyed filming with the main actors, relying on people with a lot of experience in historical dramas like Kim Eui-sung."," he said. It was also an opportunity to shoot and discover beautiful places in Korea," he said, adding to the joy of filming.
Jeong Geon-ju plays Chun Jun-hwa, the heir of 'Yongcheonru', showing off his playful charm. Jeong Geon-ju explained the reason for the appearance, saying, `The script was interesting and had a distinctly different color from the previous historical drama.' Director Myung Hyun-woo also talked about the behind-the-scenes casting, saying, "Jeong Geon-ju had the charm to capture the physical and female hearts.", he praised the character for being perfect for Chun Jun-hwa.

At the same time, the close chemistry of 'Hana Four People' also drew attention. Park Jae-chan raised expectations, saying, `I felt stable because there were many scenes together, and there was also fun to make while thinking about the ad-lib during filming.' Kim Ji-eun also said, `I'm looking forward to the scene where the first four members appear together"I think it'll be fun to see the four of us make it."
In response to the evaluation that 'Check-in Hanyang' gives a sense of deja vu with a setting similar to the previously popular 'Sungkyunkwan Scandal', director Myung Hyun-woo explained that the setting of men and women may be similar, but the background of the times and the new setting of 'Chosun Hotel' add to the difference. "The focus was on the growth and romance of young people, and I want to provide both emotion and fun."," he added.
