Shin Hyun Bin recently opened up about her on-screen chemistry with Moon Sang Min, despite their 14-year age gap.

On September 3, Shin Hyun Bin met with reporters at a café in Seoul, to chat about her role in the new Coupang Play and Channel A drama 'Cinderella at 2 AM'.

In 'Cinderella at 2 AM' , Shin Hyun Bin plays Yoon Seo, a capable woman who decides to end her relationship with a perfect chaebol man, played by Moon Sang Min.

Shin Hyun Bin shared her thoughts on working with Moon Sang Min, saying, "It was really comfortable. At first, we were both a bit shy, and I wondered if it would work out."

She continued, "When we first met, Sang Min wouldn’t look at my face. He would look down while talking, so I wasn’t sure how to respond. But he was honest and said he thought we had good chemistry and would get along well. It made me think he was an interesting friend, and we ended up getting close faster than I expected."

Shin Hyun Bin also mentioned that, despite the age gap, they shared many common interests. She noted, "I wondered if Sang Min had lied about his age because we had so many similar interests. He’s straightforward and cheerful, so we became comfortable with each other quickly. I didn’t feel the age difference much while filming."

Regarding the age difference, she said, "Sang Min often said things that seemed unusual for his age. There were scenes where we took photos of each other, and he joked about it feeling like a professional photographer was involved. He was also surprised when I knew old songs, asking, 'Do you know this?' It felt like interacting with a friend."

When asked if the age gap was a challenge, Shin Hyun Bin admitted, "There was some pressure. I mentioned it to the director early on, and the director said I didn’t look my age and that the age difference in the drama was meant to be four years, but I didn’t come across that way. So I decided to go for it. I’m relieved that viewers don’t seem to notice the age gap much."

'Cinderella at 2 AM' airs every Saturday and Sunday at 9 PM on Coupang Play and will be broadcast on Channel A starting at 9:20 PM.
