Moon Ga-young "Romance with Yoo Yeon-seok will be a good fit because I have presbyopia"
On the 13th, I met actress Moon Ga-young at a cafe in Gangnam-gu, Seoul and conducted an interview for the end of the JTBC Wednesday-Thursday drama 'Love Understanding'.
'Understanding Love' is a melodrama that tells the story of people with different interests meeting and understanding the true meaning of love. Moon Ga-young played the role of Ahn Soo-young, the goddess of KCU Bank's Yeongpo branch and a high school graduate and teller at the deposit counter.
When asked about her chemistry with Yoo Yeon-seok (played by Ha Sang-soo), Moon Ga-young said, "Yoo Yeon-seok is a melodrama master, so it was easy because he kept the focus very well. Even though we didn't rehearse much with Yoo Yeon-seok, we worked together really well. Even though they had long lines, I waited long enough. It was also a work that taught me the fun of melodrama. It wasn't my intention, but as I filmed it, I realized that even though I looked into Jonghyun's eyes while filming and spoke lines like an older sister, when I met Sangsu, I couldn't look him in the eye. The difference between comfort and excitement. “I found out that it was going to be there,” he said.
The actual age difference between Moon Ga-young and Yoo Yeon-seok is 12 years. In response, Moon Ga-young said, "I jokingly told Yoo Yeon-seok that he looks young and I'm the opposite, so we'll meet through contacts." She added, "There are many works I've done with my peers, but comparatively, I've done a lot with my seniors. Even when I was young, I liked working with my seniors." "I was used to it because I was used to it. On the contrary, I felt very awkward during 'True Beauty'. I was used to it because it was a scene I always did when I was with my seniors," he said .
'Understanding Love' captures not only the excitement and freshness of love, but also the emotions caused by love, such as hesitation and boredom, from various angles, and the workplace scenes that evoke a sense of kinship provide a sense of immersion, earning it the reputation of being a 'hyperrealistic melodrama'. Together, we solidified our fan base. Although the viewership rating was in the 3% range, it received a good response in terms of OTT and online topicality ranking indicators.
In response, Moon Ga-young said, "I think I'm happy to feel the process of word of mouth and see it with my own eyes. Many of my acquaintances contacted me, and 'True Beauty' had a younger audience, but 'Understanding Love' was also liked by my parents and their friends. “I am satisfied that the age range has broadened because of this,” he said.
He continued, "I got a call from my father a few days ago. While I was eating with my friends, a story about a drama came up, so I called on speakerphone. Until then, my father's children watched my dramas, but my father's friends really liked this drama and talked about old times. He also said that he talked about his first love. I received a phone call for the first time at a friend's place. After I hung up, I felt very strange. I had a A subtle feeling that my parents were proud of me, so they responded and said, 'You did a great job of doing this project.'" He said proudly.
