Q. 'Let's Get Married, Maenggong' has successfully concluded with high ratings. What are your thoughts?
First of all, I would like to sincerely thank the viewers for their interest and love. It was such a warm and laughter-filled set that I can't believe it's over, and I miss it.
Q. Did you prepare anything special before taking on this role?
While reading the script, I fell in love with the bright and candy-like character of Maeng Gong-hee. Coincidentally, I was learning boxing, and there were many scenes where Gong-hee boxes on the rooftop. So, I think I tried to build up my stamina a bit more. Haha.
Q. How do you perceive Maeng Gong-hee? Were there any key points you focused on while portraying this character?
Gong-hee is very honest, sharp, and lives hard for her dreams, believing in her own path. So, I think I tried to express her very honestly and comfortably, believing in Gong-hee.
Q. What was the most enjoyable moment or memorable scene while working on this project?
Every set has been so enjoyable, but this project had many people involved, and everyone got along very well. I feel lucky to have worked with the actors and staff. A memorable scene would be the interview scene where I reunited with my childhood friend after a long time! It recently came up in a flashback, and it was so fresh and reminded me of the excitement and memories from that time, so I really liked that scene.
Q. What have you learned or how have you grown through this project?
Spending months filming with my role models and teachers solidified my dream of being an actor once again, and it was also a time for me to learn and grow as a person, not just as Park Hana the actress.
Q. How was the chemistry with your fellow actors on set?
Perfect score! Even now, I feel like I should be going for a script reading on Mondays. I miss the times when we would choose menus together, asking, "What should we eat today?" and playing rock-paper-scissors for coffee. Every day of filming was so enjoyable and precious.
Q. How do you think 'Let's Get Married, Maenggong' will be remembered for you?
I think it will be remembered as a project where I tried to act as honestly as possible, focusing on conveying Gong-hee's sincerity rather than worrying about showing a certain side of myself.
Q. A final message to the viewers who loved 'Let's Get Married, Maenggong.'
I sincerely thank the viewers who have watched us until now. I hope it will be a work that remains in your memories for a long time. Thank you.
