Sejeong Kim, Hyeran Yeom, Byungkyu Cho, and Junsang Yoo (from left).
OCN drama <경이로운 소문>I asked four actors Cho Byeong-gyu, Yoo Jun-sang, Kim Se-jeong, and Yeom Hye-ran, who are active as’counters’ to catch demons. If you can have special powers like’Counter’, what kind of abilities will you covet? If you design your own red sweatpants that you wear to catch demons, how do you want to change them? Recognition. Would the four actors’ ideas of showing perfect breath match?
1. What kind of abilities would you like to have if you could have a special power like a counter?
Byeong-gyu Cho (represented by rumor): At first it was healing, but now I read the memory in my heart. Reading someone’s memories will help you understand one human being, since you can know all of the likes, weaknesses, or memories of that person. So Dohana’s catch ability!
Junsang Yoo (played by Gamotak): Healing is the best, but I will do it with Gamotak’s power as it is my role. Isn’t Gamotak also using his powers where they really need it, rather than using it for wrong? It would be nice to have the power that can punish the bad guys while controlling their power.
Sejeong Kim (Dohana Station): Ms. Chu’s healing power. Ms. Mistress heals not only the external wounds, but also the heart. There are not so many people in the world who can even heal people’s hearts.
Yeom Hye-ran (played by Chumae-ok): It is good to have strong powers, but I think the healing power of Chu Mae-ok is really wonderful. Physical healing is important in this age of many scars, but is it not necessary to have emotional comfort? The healing power is more attractive in that it allows comfort for what has already happened.
2. What if you design your own counter uniform?
Byungkyu Cho: It looks thin in winter but is warm, winter sweatshirt. In summer, it looks durable on the outside, but is made of summer materials. I am satisfied with the current design and color. I just want to change the material. In summer, ramie or hemp. In winter, a brushed or downy coat.
Junsang Yoo: I like the original uniform. At first, I thought I should wear it, but the reaction to the first episode was so good, I often wear shoes that I don’t need to wear after that. Perhaps because of the training suit, he felt comfortable and liked it more like a local sister or brother. There is also a gray uniform, but red is better.
Sejeong Kim: Maybe it’s more like us because we are wearing red sweatshirts. I wish the color was different. The counter has to move secretly, but the red bounces too much. Even if I pass by, I know that it is a counter working at a noodle restaurant. If you think about my personal color, black and white would suit you… After all, black would be nice!
Yeom Hye-ran: I actually gave my opinion to the director, but when I saw the counters go to catch the demons, and when people talked about it, we could say that we are just restaurant people and club people. I hope it gets stuck. So that you can disguise it with the feeling of an early football club. And considering the season, it would be nice to have separate clothes for summer and winter. In summer, I became sweaty as soon as I was wearing it, but now I ask for some brushing.
3. Who/other person has the most resemblance to the character in the play?
Byungkyu Cho: The person who resembles me the most! It wasn’t at first, but now I think I’ve become very good like a rumor. She laughs well without standing still more than in the past. It may be because the thirst was quenched, but it became a lot harmful. The other person is Motak-i hyung. At first, I thought that Yoo Jun-sang’s passion and Gamo-Tak’s passion were really the same, but these days it’s been very cold… . I always hold a hot pack. (Laughter) Originally, it was the exact opposite. I am the least resembled, and Motak has the most resemblance. Perhaps Jun Sang-hyung is the person who resembles the most, so why not pick Yeom Hye-ran senior or Se-se-i as first place, and pick me last. My prediction will be correct.
Sejeong Kim: The most dissimilar person can speak right away. Cho Byeong-gyu! It’s not that pure friend, but it appears so pure in the drama. I feel like a great actor and a true actor. (Laughter) Everyone has a lot of resemblance to their characters. If you have to choose, Mo-Tak is human and makes everyone laugh. Suddenly, we all recognize Yoo Jun-sang as a real Gamo-tak at the scene.
Yeom Hye-ran: The most resembled person is Yoo Jun-sang, and the most different person is (Jo) Byung-gyu. I don’t know if it’s a compliment or excuse, but Motak’s playfulness, joy, loyalty and action are all very similar to Yoo Jun-sang’s. The rumor is very different from Byeonggyu. Byung-gyu is so playful. It is by no means a friend who is dead like a rumor or trapped in the dark.
Junsang Yoo: All five resemble (character). You can’t pick only one. They all look so good, and I really like these friends.
