There isn’t anyone in Korea who doesn’t know "Yoo
Seung Ho", but also known as "Younger brother of Korean people." He played some
difficult roles perfectly like a child prodigy for act, then the next challenge
he took was “Operation Proposal”, which he played a lead role as a grown adult.
That was the first time for Yoo Seung Ho to play in the full scale love story,
which he did it with full of charm as an adult. He got improved his carrier for
playing a role from a fresh student to a mature male, he showed a diverse role
such a different age in the drama successfully. Finally Seung Ho completed to make
an attractive character who was loved by all viewers.
Korean drama called “Operation Proposal,” which was a
remake of the popular drama made in Japan that Yamashita Tomohisa &
Nagasawa Masami played in 2007. It is a romantic comedy that the lead character
has realized his love for the heroine when her wedding with another guy, then
he tries to defend his first love with travelling back in time to the past. The
drama was produced by the company which had made the drama called “Prosecutor
Princess,” and Yoon Ji-Ryon -a writer for “ Boys Over Flowers.”
Played an attractive role as Kang Baek Ho, Seung Ho has
sent the official interview to us. He talks about what made him decide to
accept the offer, some episodes for the filming, and show the highlight of it
to Japanese fans.
－What made you decide to play for “Operation
Proposal?”
>> First I
saw the original one. Then I liked the theme of this drama that Baek-Ho tries
to back in time to the past for getting back his first love and change the
future. It’s so attractive and I thought viewers also might enjoy feeling a new
experience for the drama. I had in mind that I wanted to show you myself to be
changed through the drama, but eventually I picked up the script that I felt
exciting totally.
－You had played roles as lovers with Park
Eun-Bin for the drama “The Legend” and “The Great Queen Seon Deok” before, this time you two had a
new experience in modern drama. How did you like it?
>> We are close in age, and we were like a friend wearing
the same school uniform.
Since we had played roles in period dramas, so we
couldn’t get close each other. This drama gave us time to be a friend that we
were filming like real friends to wear the uniform or casual dresses in modern
age.
－Do you think you are similar to Kang Baek-Ho?
>>
I don’t think so. I’m a little different from
Baek-Ho. Baek-Ho is a person who acts promptly without thinking well.
It’s
quite simple. Of course he got changed himself in last half... but I
tend to think well before move, that's why he's different. Also he is
good at sports, but I'm not so good that I had a hard time to play as
Baek Ho. Except for that, I'm quite similar to him.
－Tell us if there’s anything difficult to act, or
anything interesting episode during the filming?
>> I had a hard time to film the scene that I try to back
in time to the past with saying “ Renovatio” 3 times. I had no idea how it goes
when you back in time to the past, with a strong pressure into your body? The first scene I said like that was the most
embarrassing. Fortunately they performed a good editing work, so I have a
memory of that scene the most.
－If you have a chance to back in time to the
past, which part of it would you like the most?
>> I want to get
back to be in elementary school days. I don’t think I didn’t learn at all in
school time, but it’s a shame not to have completed learning 100%. Now I
realized that learning might have been another good experience for me if I don’t
play as an actor… I wanted to learn hard.
－What is the appeal for “Operation Proposal”
in Korea? Then please tell us the point of the drama that Japanese fans can be
enjoyed watching more.
>> I think
Japanese version has emotional aspect as Japanese in it, and also Korean
version does as well. There might be a little difficult to understand. But if
you see how Baek-Ho wishes to get back his first love, or how he could get
Yi-Seul’s love from the past, you could more enjoy it.
－Is there anything you want to try for acting in
the future?
>> I know it’s difficult to show you something to
act in my age, but I want to try anything if I could as a man. Honestly I’m really looking forward to aging.
When I was a child, I heard that a man will show his life on his face with age.
So I look forward to myself how I could change and play well. I’m very excited
to grow up, and someday I hope to play various roles like other actors
overseas.
