"She's so talented. Without Hye Yoon, I don't think I would have portrayed the emotions of 'Ryu Sun-jae' this well. The emotions she showed for my character during filming felt so genuine. It helped me get more immersed in 'Ryu Sun-jae' and carry out the scenes better.", he said, thanking Kim Hye Yoon.
"While filming, people on set used to tell me how easily they could see my energy wane as the hours passed. Being the lead actor for the first time, I didn't know how to distribute my energy during the long hours of shooting."
"And whenever I felt my energy drained during filming, Hye Yoon sensed it and handed me snacks and jellies.", the actor recalled and smiled.

"Hye Yoon and I locked eyes at that moment, and she asked me, 'Is this what camaraderie feels like?'.", the actor recalled, noting, "I think we formed a new, deeper bond with each other in that moment."

"Hey Hye Yoon, I learned so much from you during the filming process, from the energy you gave me and your attitude on set. I think I've performed the character 'Ryu Sun-jae' better thanks to you, and I'm truly grateful. Feel free to reach out whenever you're in the mood for a delicious meal, alright? I'll gladly treat you to meals whenever you want. I cannot thank you enough.", he remarked.
