Director Kim Yong-wan of 'Gyeonwoo and the Fairy' revealed the reason for casting Choo Young-Woo.
On the afternoon of the 17th, an online event was held for tvN's new Monday-Tuesday drama 'Gyeonwoo and the Fairy,' with Kim Yong-wan and actors Cho Yi-hyun, Choo Young-Woo, Cha Kang-yoon, and Choo Ja-Hyun attending to discuss.
'Gyeonwoo and the Fairy' is a drama based on a popular webtoon of the same name, depicting the unrestrained first love rescue romance of eighteen-year-olds, featuring a boy destined to die and a MZ shaman girl who tries to prevent it. The story follows high school shaman Park Seong-a (played by Cho Yi-hyun) who confronts fate for her first love, and Baek Gyeon-woo (played by Choo Young-Woo), who defies destiny through the ordinary happiness she opens up for him, promising a fresh thrill.
On this day, Director Kim Yong-wan praised Choo Young-Woo, stating, "Choo Young-Woo is so hot; the basic premise is that Gyeon-woo must capture Seong-a's heart at first sight. He had to pass this premise, and when I thought about who could fill this role, Choo Young-Woo was perfect."
He continued, "He acts like he stepped out of a comic; on set, he performs with a truly animalistic sense. With his talent rising in good productions, I was surprised and amazed, thinking he is like a lottery ticket for our project. I really think he will be the nation's first love."
Meanwhile, tvN's 'Gyeonwoo and the Fairy' will air on the 23rd at 8:50 p.m.
