Lee Jung-jae: I don’t really know. I think Wednesday-Thursday dramas tend to draw a bit lower numbers than Monday-Tuesdays dramas. It isn’t that the dramas aren’t entertaining, but I wonder if maybe viewers are busier doing other things on Wednesdays and Thursdays. [Laughs] For a lot of various reasons, I think viewer ratings have fallen on the whole for dramas. That’s my personal guess. 5 Z8 ~" P% Y; H0 r7 i! A

In the first part, importance was given to introducing the characters and guiding the drama along. In the latter part, things get a little more serious as things progress and conflicts arise.

Lee Jung-jae: A direct loveline won’t happen. Haru’s still in her last year of high school. I asked the director about that before we started filming, and she said that things will develop with strong emotions. I, and others around me, are half concerned and half curious about that. Story-wise, I think it’s interesting to have a love that goes through its ups and downs and doesn’t end up together. What is this feeling that makes me squirm or flutter when she comes to sleep beside me? That’s the feeling I have to evoke, but I don’t know how yet.

Q4 You appeared in the representative ’90s trendy drama Feelings. I wonder what the difference is when working with director Lee Yoon-jung, the representative trendy drama director of the 2000s.! }' ?& b0 F8 P5 x- c
: X) Q( ^9 ~3 I1 m" _Lee Jung-jae: To be honest, I’m not sure what’s changed. It’s like when you like somebody, you don’t really have a reason. It’s not because of a particular thing about that person — you like them because they are that person. That hasn’t changed. And I think that’s the crux of it. In Feelings, when I liked Woo Hee-jin’s character, I don’t think there was a particular reason. I think that it’s for the director and the actors to take that essential surface element and accept it and make it their own.
