• “Royal Intrigues and Forbidden Love”— Jo Jung Suk and Shin Se Kyung's Regal Love Story Set to Enchant Viewers in ‘Captivating the King’

    There was a press meeting for tvN's new drama "Captivating the King" on the 16th afternoon at the Ramada Seoul Sindorim Hotel in Guro-gu, Seoul. The drama was written by Kim Sun-deok and directed by Jo Nam-guk.

    Author Kim Sun-deok and artists Jo Jung Suk, Shin Se Kyung, Lee Shin Young, Park Ye Young, Jang Young Nam, and Lee Kyu Hoi all went to the event.

    The over-the-top historical drama "Captivating the King" tells the sad story of a woman who becomes a spy to bring down King Lee In, who is powerful but has a weak heart.

    Shin Se Kyung plays both Kang Hee-soo and her male mask, Kang Mong-woo. Jo Jung-suk plays King Lee In.

    "I didn't think of it as a fusion while writing," said Kim Sun-deok, who wrote the drama.

    It's based on the Joseon era, and while the characters are made up, I tried to make a story with different versions of history from that time that I like.

    When people watch historical dramas, they can enjoy thinking, "This episode is from this era, and that one is from another era." It will be a big show for them."

    When Jo Jung Suk goes back to historical theater after a break, he even plays a king, which is a different kind of performance.

    He said, "I believe it's a benefit and an honor for an actor.

    At the beginning of the movie "The Face Reader," I'm dressed in rags, and it feels very right to be playing in these clothes now.

    "I believe 'Captivating the King' will be the work I remember the most."


    The relationship between the two players is an important part of "Captivating the King." They have a new love in the beginning, which turns into a fatal love full of question in the second half.

    Shin Se Kyung said, "There are some light and soft scenes in the beginning when Hee-soo falls in love."

    When I was making other films, I always said that scenes like that stood out.

    Overall, the scenes have a bright feel to them.

    Hee-soo's emotional struggle gets worse in the middle and end parts.

    Sometimes she has a different look on her face and different thoughts.

    The thoughtful atmosphere on set let me focus on playing alone, which was a lot of fun.

    Having fun with Jo Jung Suk was always a plus.

    "It was hard to play Lee In," Jo Jung Suk said.

    But the story of love isn't about sharing it with all my heart and soul. It's about having doubts about each other and a dark love story.

    We both put a lot of work into those parts, and I hope people like them.

    The two stars talked about how well they got along in the melodrama.

    Jo Jung Suk gave their relationship a "11 out of 10," and Shin Se Kyung said, "It's a thousand out of five hundred points."


    Writer Kim Sun-deok is known for writing heavy love stories like "The King's Man." He has high hopes for "Captivating the King," which will be finished by how the actors play their parts.

    "I went to the set after finishing the script, and even though I wrote it and knew the story, it was still very interesting and made me happy," she said.

    I hope that people who see it will feel the same way.

    Because the actors did such a great job, I think I'm the first person to like this show, and I have high hopes.

    The very end of both the first and second shows will be great.

    I think people who want to see a sweet love story will enjoy them.

    The first episode of "Captivating the King" will air on November 21 at 9:20 PM KST.

  • "BTS’s Jin was scary at first?" -Actress Ji Ye Eun says she was afraid to get close but now they fight like real siblings

    Actress Ji Ye Eun recently shared her honest thoughts about working with BTS's Jin and how their relationship grew during filming.

    On April 29, a video titled “Actually, Ji Ye Eun doesn’t know how to curse—riding in one car with her” was uploaded on VIVO TV’s YouTube channel. In the video, Ji Ye Eun opened up about her experience filming the Netflix show Fishing Brothers: Season of Crazy Fun (Daehwanjang Gianjang).

    She revealed that she got her boat license just for the show. “After trying it on the Han River, I felt confident about the driving part. It was actually easier than I thought. But the written test was so hard,” she said. “It’s completely different from driving a car, so it was confusing. I took the test so many times that the people at the test center started to recognize me and even wished me good luck. I went almost every two days,” she said, laughing.

    Ji Ye Eun also shared how happy she was with the show’s success. “As of filming day, I heard the show was ranked third. I really care about that kind of thing. Since we all worked so hard, I hope more people watch and enjoy it.”

    When asked by Song Eun I if she got close to castmates Gian 84 and Jin, she responded honestly. “Even though we didn’t spend a long time together, we went through a lot and got close. At first, I didn’t know how to talk to Jin oppa. He’s a world star, so I was nervous. I even worried I’d get hate comments for being near him. But once filming started, those worries disappeared,” she said.

    Ji Ye Eun then made everyone laugh by adding, “Jin oppa and I became like real siblings. We argued a lot, and Gian 84 oppa had to stop us!”

    Meanwhile, Ji Ye Eun is currently appearing on SBS’s Running Man, continuing to grow her popularity on variety shows.
