As the K-drama “Lovely Runner” concluded, leading actress Kim Hye-yoon shared a lot of thoughts regarding the filming process, herself, and her co-star Byun Woo-seok in an interview.
In particular, Kim Hye-yoon confessed to crying a lot during filming, adding that she was able to cry well thanks to the energy Byun Woo-seok gave as male lead Seon-jae. She also thanked her co-star for allowing her to focus and act comfortably, as he was a great support and his energy as Seon-jae made it much easier for her to concentrate.
Then, regarding Byun Woo-seok’s strengths, Kim Hye-yoon mentioned that “he has the charm of a friendly boy next door, like a supportive older brother”.
“He brings a warm and approachable energy. He was always a shining actor, but I think this work made him shine even more. Watching him grow feels like seeing a son grow up. It makes me proud, like a mother”, the actress added.
When asked if she ever felt real romantic feelings towards Byun Woo-seok while acting, Kim Hye-yoon straight-forwardly denied dating rumors, stating, “There was a moment when I felt Seon-jae’s charm. It was during a scene where Sol urgently needed a bathroom, and Seon-jae stopped the bus, showing his reliability and thoughtfulness. I was touched that he sacrificed everything for me. I thought he was dependable while filming.”
“However, our relationship in real life is more like comradeship”, Kim Hye-yoon continued, adding, “I think it would be more accurate to say that we rely on each other in difficult circumstances.”
