Chae Soo-bin: “Kim Young-kwang’s ‘man-ripping’ visuals helped me immerse myself”

Kim Young-kwang and Chae Soo-bin shared their feelings about working together for the first time in a romance.

The work the two are appearing in together is "Take Charge of My Heart."

This work is a romantic comedy disguised as a "charging" story, unfolding when Baek Ho-rang, a man whose artificial heart battery has run out, meets Na Bo-bae, a woman with electrical abilities.

In an interview conducted after the photo shoot, Kim Young-kwang said that after his recent heavy and intense works, he wanted to do a bright romantic comedy again.

Mentioning "Trigger" and "A Lucky Day," he explained that it was good timing to encounter the script for "Take Charge of My Heart."

Chae Soo-bin said that at first, she had great concerns about whether viewers would be able to accept the work naturally and enjoyably, as it contains many unrealistic elements.

However, she shared that she gained trust after hearing confident words from the production team during a meeting, stating that while it is a familiar flavor, they could express it deliciously.

Kim Young-kwang said he did not approach the character with a fixed persona from the start, but rather created scenes through various attempts with the director and actors while filming.

He added that the process was fun.

Chae Soo-bin also said she benefited from the atmosphere of creating things together on set.

Kim Young-kwang pointed out that the relationship between the two is different from a purely lovely romantic comedy.

He explained that the charm lies in how Ho-rang and Bo-bae constantly bicker, yet gradually grow closer like people who need each other.

Chae Soo-bin described Kim Young-kwang's appearance as "man-ripping" (a man who ripped himself out of a webtoon) visuals, like a male protagonist in a web novel.

She said that his handsome and tall appearance resembled his image in the work, which helped her immerse herself.

Kim Young-kwang described the chemistry of the work as "clumsy and chaotic," while Chae Soo-bin summarized it as "cute and adorable."

Chae Soo-bin asked viewers to watch with pleasure as Bo-bae, who is clumsy at dating, meets Ho-rang and opens her heart.
