Chae Soo-bin met with Sports Chosun at the King Kong by Starship office in Cheongdam, Gangnam, Seoul on the 8th and said, "I can't make a choice like Hee-joo because I'm scared." and "Heeju's Ttori-like part is similar to mine. "
Chae Soo-bin played the role of Hong Hee-joo, a sign language interpreter, in MBC's Friday-Saturday drama 'The Phone You Just Called 'Ji-jeon'.
Hong Hee-joo and her husband Baek Sa-eon (Yu Yeon-seok) began as a couple and drew excitement from viewers by portraying a romance that gradually falls in love with each other, and ended with a record of 8.6% (provided by Nielsen Korea, nationwide) until the last episode aired on the 4th.
Chae Soo-bin said of Hong Hee-joo "Hee-joo seems to have been very attractive. Even in a life of oppression, there is a sense of humor. There are points where you scream without holding back. Otherwise, Hee-joo would not have been loved this much, he judged.
In particular, in the last episode, viewers responded that it was heartbreaking to see Hee-joo missing her husband, who had been waiting for her words, which was out of contact, and had disappeared somewhere. At that time, Hee-ju left for Argan, where he found clues about Sageon's activities, but he was caught by rebels shortly afterwards, raising tensions.
With courageous Hee-joo's choice, Chae Soo-bin said, `There is no guarantee that we can meet there, but Hee-joo seems to have the same mind whether he will die here or die there anyway. I think that time was too hard for Hee-joo.
At the same time, "But if it were me, I wouldn't have gone." "The reason is because I'm scared."

The role of Hong Hee-joo also gave birth to the nickname 'rabbit'. Chae Soo-bin said "My hair stylist friends said 'It's a rabbit, it's a rabbit', but after the drama came out, everyone really said 'Rabbit'. It was amazing. I heard I look more like a sloth, and I once carried a rabbit on my back. When I see the nickname "rabbit", Heejoo felt like a rabbit"I was delighted.
A memorable feedback also reminds me of the words "'8Chuck Bunny'. I look short, but it's longer than I thought, and Chae Soo-bin said "When you say you look cool when you wear a suit, you feel proud and good."
Viewers' satisfaction is also high as 'Jijeon' has a happy ending. When asked to imagine Hong Hee-joo after the ending, Chae Soo-bin said, `The life that Hee-joo dreamed of was ordinary. It's a happy ending, so I think I would have lived that kind of life. And I really want Heejoo to live that kind of life," he nodded.
