SBS's Friday-Saturday drama 「My Perfect Secretary」 (directed by Ji-eun, Ham Joon-ho, and Kim Jae-hong) is said to be an adult fairy tale and colors every Friday and Saturday night with excitement and warmth. At the center of it is the warm script of the author who wrote this work for the adults who have not grown up yet. The artist's question and answer, which includes everything from his impressions on the box office to his concerns about his work, was revealed.
▶ 'My perfect secretary' is getting a hot response.
"I wonder what's going on here. It is dazed and amazing to receive too much love. It is all thanks to the best actors, staff, and crew that we were able to get such a hot response. 'My perfect secretary' team was absolutely perfect. Thank you so much to everyone who was with us and to the viewers who loved the drama."
▶ How did you feel about casting Han Ji-min and Lee Jun-hyuk. I also wonder how you saw the acting of the two actors.
"I still vividly remember the moment I heard that Han Ji-min and Lee Jun-hyuk were casted." I got a call from the cafe while editing the script, which was one of the unforgettable scenes in my life, 'That's enough. I thought, 'I'm the only one who needs to do well. While I was happy that the combination of dreams came true, I was also afraid that I shouldn't spoil what my viewers have been looking forward to for a long time."
"Ji-yoon and Eun-ho were completed when Han Ji-min and Lee Jun-hyuk met. It shows not only the external image, but also the tension of adult romance and the excitement of daily romance with delicate emotional expression and perfect control, and shows acting and chemistry beyond what is expressed in the script, so I watch it with admiration from the viewer's point of view every week. The first meeting between the two actors was memorable, and they called each other 'Ji-yoon'Eun-ho'. I felt like I had actually seen a character who only existed in the script. From the beginning, they were Kang Ji-yoon and Yoo Eun-ho themselves."
▶ What part of Ji-yoon and Eun-ho paid particular attention to the emotional line and the details of the development.
"Ji-yoon and Eun-ho's love slowly permeates and builds up, so when I realized that mind, I thought it would be good if they had already permeated each other completely and had no answer except to admit it." Since they are not easy to open their hearts to someone, it was more important to build up emotions in everyday life, and I hoped that the process of gradually turning compassion or emotions that began at work into love could be seen. Basically, I thought it would be nice to leave love and have a human respect for each other and acknowledge each other, so I paid attention to that part."

▶ Eun-ho is a person who concentrates his ideal fantasy. How did you make the details of these characters.
"Eunho is a fantasy collective of many women, but it is actually my fantasy collective as well. Personally, I think kindness and humor are the most powerful weapons humans have. Because it has the power to change many things. Above all, the point was to take care of Ji-yoon delicately with the parenting skills that Eun-ho naturally acquired while raising Byul (Ki So-yu), and the staff and Lee Joon-hyuk filled in the parts I had not thought of with richer details. I think the possibility of a fantasy-like character named Eun-ho was completed by Lee Joon-hyuk."
▶ On the other hand, I wonder why you set Jiyoon as 'adult'.
"I think Ji Yoon-do is as focused on women's fantasy as Eun-ho." If Eun-ho wants to have someone, Ji-yoon, who is thorough and perfect at work, is someone who wants to be. For Ji-yoon, who survived alone without being cared for, the work was survival, so it was compulsively perfect. As a result, there were parts that I did not care about, and although I was not aware of my daily life, human relationships, my mind was pierced. I hope adults who can't take care of themselves will sympathize with Ji-yoon and be comforted with her while watching her take care of her. I didn't want Ji-yoon to be seen as a mean person, so I hoped that lovely and cute figures would be highlighted when I was with Mi-ae (Lee Sang-hee). In fact, this part is a big part of trusting Han Ji-min, and thanks to her expression so well, Ji-yoon became a cool and lovely character".
▶ What message do you want to convey through 'my perfect secretary'.
"As stated earlier, this drama is about caring. I don't think caring is a story limited to young children. It is a story of adults who look at each other generously, wait for each other, and grow up. It expressed the hope that there would be more adults like this. It may sound a bit clichéd, but it's these little bona fides that move the world forward at all. For someone in need of care, I hope it will be a comforting drama."
▶ Finally, please point out the points to watch in the second half of 'My Perfect Secretary'.
"Now relationships are moving forward in earnest. Please watch how Ji-yoon and Eun-ho comfort and touch each other's wounds and move forward. In addition, please pay attention to the painful but cute unrequited love solidarity of Jung Hoon (Kim Do Hoon) and Su Hyun (Kim Yoon Hye). Please look forward to the chemistry between the members of the "People's" and the changed representative Jiyoon."
The 7th episode of SBS 'My Perfect Secretary' will air at 10 p.m. tonight (24th).
