Actor Kim Woo Bin, 26, thanked the people behind "Descendants of the Sun" and lead male actor Song Joong Ki for the skyrocketing viewer's anticipation for his on-going drama, "Uncontrollably Fond."
The lead stars of KBS's on-going melodrama "Uncontrollably Fond," Kim, Bae Suzy, Im Joo Eun and Im Joo Hwang, recently sit down for an interview with "Entertainment Weekly." In the midst the interview, the interviewer asked the cast whether they know about how popular the drama is and the amount of individuals, who were all amped up for it.
"I think we're benefiting from the work of those who made the great drama 'Descendants of the Sun," Soompi quoted Kim as saying, referring to the Asia-pan hit drama. "We've just put our spoon down on a table that's already set for dinner."
Miss A's Bae Suzy then laughed cheerfully and copies Kim's gesture of putting a spoon on a table. Following a couple of minutes, the "Ugly Alert" star Im Joo Hwan shortly join the picture, stating, "They're way too modest. He's [Kim] probably yelling inside his head, 'I hope we get higher ratings than them'."
Kim chuckles and shortly gazes toward the camera to say, "I love you, Song Joong Ki! " while making a heart with his fingers. "Uncontrollably Fond" first premiered on July 6, Wednesday on KBS2 10:00 PM (KST) timeslot.
Helmed by Park Hyun-Suk, the drama follows the one of a kind love story of Shin Joon Young (Kim) and No Eul (Bae Suzy), who got separated when they were young and once again meet each other after many years. Shin Joon Young is now a top actor and singer, while No Eul is the PD of documentaries.
"When I read the synopsis for the drama, I though the character No Eul was so charming and lovable," said Bae Suzy, referring to her character. "I wanted to try the role because there is such a wide range of emotions involved."
The melodrama is fully pre-produced before airing and has successfully finished filming on April 12. The drama is slated to be aired on Thailand, Vietnam, Taiwan and Philippines, Star News reported.
