Actress Park Bo-young mentioned her acting chemistry with actors Park Jin-young and Ryu Kyung-soo.
In an interview for the final episode of tvN Saturday-Sunday drama ‘Unknown Seoul,’ Park Bo-young began by saying, “Usually, you get connected with one male protagonist, but in our drama, both of them come true.I had the experience of dating two men officially and legally.”
Park Bo-young plays identical twin sisters Yu Mi-ji and Yu Mi-rae in the drama, and develops love lines with Lee Ho-soo(played by Park Jin-young)and Han Se-jin(played by Ryu Kyung-soo), respectively.
He expressed his satisfaction, saying, “Park Jin-young and Ryu Kyung-soo have different acting styles.Park Jin-young is a friend who has the power to warmly press down on the bubbly Yu Mi-ji.He expressed that energy very well.Ryu Kyung-soo played the role of brightening up the depressed Yu Mi-rae really well.”
He continued, “While acting, I thought, ‘Miji and Mirae have met the person they really need.’ So it’s really hard to answer the question of choosing just one of the two.Ho-su is perfect for Miji, and Se-jin is perfect for Mirae.”
The real first impressions of the two actors were the complete opposite of their work.Park Bo-young said, “My first impression was that Park Jin-young was a tough guy and Ryu Kyung-soo was calm.But while filming, I found a calmness in Park Jin-young and a playfulness in Ryu Kyung-soo that I didn’t know about.”
“Since we’re under the same agency as Park Jin-young, I’ve met him 2-3 times before.He’s a really good-natured guy.And one of Park Jin-young’s older sisters has the same name as me.Jin-young approached me in a friendly way like I was her older sister, so it wasn’t hard to become close.Ryu Kyung-soo had to be older than Mirae in the drama and give off an adult vibe.He’s younger than me, but he doesn’t really feel like a younger sibling.It’s really fun to say every word like Han Se-jin.”
The drama ‘Unknown Seoul’ starring Park Bo-young started off with a nationwide viewership rating of 3.6% and recorded a peak viewership rating of 8.4% for its final episode(Nielsen Korea), ending on a high note with favorable reviews from viewers.
