(Continuing from interview ③) Actor Hwang Seong-bin conveyed the warm teamwork on the actual set of the SBS Friday-Saturday drama The Winning Try.
Recently, when I met Hwang Seong-bin at the OSEN office in Hapjeong-dong, Mapo-gu, Seoul, he expressed his thoughts on the popularly concluded series The Winning Try, saying, "I always had excessive expectations, but it seems we received enough attention, support, and encouragement. I'm glad we were able to finish with good results."
Earlier, Hwang Seong-bin was recognized for his acting with high praise from viewers for his role as Kim Ju-yang of the rugby team in the SBS Friday-Saturday drama The Winning Try.
In particular, viewers responded even more enthusiastically to the genuine-friend chemistry with actors who played rugby team members — Kim Yo-han (as Yoon Seong-jun), Kim Yi-jun (as Oh Young-gwang), Lee Su-chan (as So Myeong-woo), Yoon Jae-chan (as Do Hyung-sik), Woo Min-kyu (as Pyo Seon-ho), and Jo Han-gyeol (as Kang Tae-poong).
Hwang Seong-bin recalled the atmosphere on set with the The Winning Try members, saying, "It was really great. We encouraged each other, and because we shared the dream of becoming actors, we helped one another like collaborators. Since I'm from Busan, when the kids needed to do Busan dialect, they would contact me and I would help them earnestly. Even after the project ended, we talk about private matters and spend time like friends."
He added, "From the start the atmosphere on set was good. It was always a chaotic mess, but senior Yoon Kye-sang lit a fire under us. 'The more chaotic the better,' 'the director will take care of organizing it,'" he said, drawing laughter.
Hwang Seong-bin expressed gratitude, saying, "When I look at the work, I think that because we did it this way each character came to life. I'm very thankful to senior Kye-sang. He always tells us he's grateful that we did well and he cheers us on."
He continued, "Because the atmosphere on set was good, among ourselves we implicitly believed it would definitely do well, that we would finish with good results. But it seemed the ratings for the first broadcast were very strong. It got off to a smooth start and finished well," and added, "It was easy to watch like a coming-of-age story about high school students. Because it was the kind of work we don't see these days, I think viewers liked that aspect," expressing thanks to the viewers.
