(Following Interview ①) Actress Go Youn-jung referred to the actual "O Yi-young" moment.
Recently, a round interview with tvN drama "Resident Playbook" (hereafter referred to as "Resi Play") actress Go Youn-jung took place at a cafe in Seocho-gu, Seoul.
On the 18th, "Resident Playbook," which concluded with its final episode, is a spinoff of the popular drama "Hospital Playlist."
Go Youn-jung played the role of first-year resident "O Yi-young" and delivered an impressive performance. Entering the hospital with the goal of repaying debts, O Yi-young breaks down her emotional walls and appears indifferent, but deeply cares for her patients, capturing the hearts of not only her patients but also her peers and professors.
On this day, Go Youn-jung noted about her own "social skills," saying, "I feel like I shouldn't be doing it like O Yi-young, but I think I started off like her. While I had the motivation to do well at work, I didn't have the motivation to socialize well or to present myself in a good light."
She continued, "However, while working, I realized that 'human relationships are also important.' Now I feel like I'm mixing the social life of O Yi-young with that of Eom Jae-il (played by Kang Yu-seok). I thought I was indifferent to others, but I actually like people. As I took on more projects and went to more sets, although not during filming, I noticed it on the last shooting day: 'I've become quite attached.'"
He said, "(In the past) I didn't know a lot. Even when someone said, 'If you're curious, ask,' I needed to know something first. I had no knowledge, so I didn't have questions or anything I wanted to know. But as I filmed with actors of my age and spent time with peers, I learned that the better I get along with these people, the easier it is to film."
In particular, he shared about the common ground regarding "O Yi-young," stating, "I felt this not only from Yi-young but also from other characters. If you don't know, you should ask questions. But doesn't it feel like you might get scolded if you ask? I think I wasn't able to ask many questions during my early debut, as the director felt like a teacher. I was afraid of being asked, 'How can an actor not know this?' so I didn't ask. Now, I ask a lot, share my opinions and inquire when I don't know something, but back then, I was worried I would disappoint people. If you don't expect much, you won't be disappointed, but I didn't want to give that feeling of disappointment."
