Many South Korean celebrities praise Park Bo Gum for his good looks, professionalism and kindness. "Moonlight Drawn by Clouds" cast member Jung Hye Sung is the latest star to compliment the actor for his on-set behavior while filming the KBS drama.
The Korean actress shared her experience working alongside Park in the historical drama "Moonlight Drawn by Clouds." Jung plays the role of the Joseon princess Myeong Eun while Park portrays the crown prince Yeong who is Myeong Eun's older brother.
Myeong Eun had weight problems and a rounded body type in earlier episodes of the KBS series. Given the character's overweight physical condition, the actress was required to wear a special fat suit to fit the role.
Jung shared how Park took good care of her on the set of the KBS series during her guest appearance in the KBS2 TV program "Happy Together 3" that aired on Sept. 22, Thursday. The filming of the said historical drama transpired during the hot summer weather and the actor would help to fan Jung during breaks.
According to the actress, Park found her special fat make-up "cute" and would always assist her on-set. Apart from her co-star's kind actions, she also highlighted the "Reply 1988" actor's intelligence, sexiness and good looks.
The "Our Legend" star also teased that Park has yet to refer to her as an older sister during filming. Most Koreans would call a woman who is several years older as "noona." With the two to three year age difference between the two celebrities, Park is expected to use the said term.
Jung explained that the actor may have refrained from referring to her as an older sister given their respective roles in the drama. She stated, "Because he's immersed in his role, he's never called me noona."
Meanwhile, "Moonlight Drawn by Clouds" reached its highest TV rating to-date with episode 9 that aired on Sept. 19, Monday. The KBS drama's viewership share jumped to 21.3 percent, according to Nielsen Korea. Across the Seoul metropolitan area, the said episode's rating was posted at 22.4 percent.
