Actress Han Hyo Joo, 29, says she found it like a fairytale sharing kiss scenes with co-star Lee Jong Suk, 26, in their upcoming MBC's fantasy drama called "W." Recently, the pair sat down for an interview and talked about the drama's behind-the-scenes.
The on-screen couple showed up on the July 3, Sunday, telecast of MBC's "Section TV." During their interview, both Lee and Han revealed that they have already shared kissed twice for "W."
"We already kissed twice and it's like a fairytale," Han said, as quoted by HanCinema. "It's so unrealistic."
The drama marks Han's small screen comeback after six years since wrapping up MBC's "Dong Yi." In the show, Han will play the warm-hearted, Oh Yeon Joo, a two-year cardiothoracic surgery resident doctor.
"Oh Yeon-Joo character is a perfect fit for Han Hyo-Joo," the production team said, while complimenting the actress' steady work. "She immersed herself into her character completely and never loses her smile despite the busy filming schedules."
Han then compliments Lee, saying, "[Lee Jong Suk] He is really like someone straight out of a coming. Sometimes when we're filming and he's standing in front of me, it's like a comic. It's surreal." The actor, on the other hand, responded by saying earnestly that he have always been a fan of the actress.
Helmed by director Jung Dae Yoon with a screenplay by Song Jae Jung, "W" is a suspense melodrama portraying the one of a kind love story of a young chaebol, Kang Cheol (Lee), who exist in the webtoon universe, and Dr. Oh Yeon Joo (Han), who go back and forth between two diverse dimensional worlds - webtoon and reality - in the same space.
It was learned recently that the connection between the two lead characters intensely depends on Han's father in the drama, Oh Seong Moon (Kim Ee-Seong), a well-known comic book creator who suddenly disappears, All K-pop has learned. Not long after Oh Seong Moon's unexplained disappearance, Oh Yeon Joo was kidnapped by Kang Cheol and was taken to the webtoon universe.
The 16-episode TV series also stars Lee Si-Un, Nam Gi-Are, Jeong Eu-Gene, Lee Se-Rang, Lee Tae-Hwan, Heo Jung-Do, Kang Ki-Young, Park Won-Sang and Cha Kwang-Soo. "W" is scheduled to premiere on July 20 at 10:00 PM (KST). Check out the trailer below:
