The Judge from Hell star Kim Jae Young recently opened up about his nerves while filming a kissing scene with Park Shin-hye in the hit SBS drama.

On November 5, Kim Jae Young sat down with Star News in a café in Gangnam, Seoul, to chat about his experience filming Judge from Hell. The action-fantasy series follows the story of Kang Bit-na, a judge possessed by a demon (played by Park Shin Hye), and Da-on Han, a detective (played by Kim Jae Young), as they team up to face criminals in a twisted reality. Kim Jae-young plays Detective Da-on Han, a dedicated cop in the Violent Crimes Division.

Kim Jae Young shared what it was like working with Park Shin Hye, praising her energy and endurance. “Her stamina is really impressive. She keeps her energy steady, and she doesn’t have any ups and downs," he said. "I think I struggled more than her at times, so I tried to keep up. She shot action scenes for hours, but she really seemed to enjoy it."

He also mentioned how much he learned from her in their romantic scenes. “Park Shin Hye is so natural with romantic comedy. Her expressions and gaze are just so charming."

Given that Park Shin Hye is married to actor Choi Tae Joon and has a child, Kim Jae Young admitted he was a bit curious. "I wondered if she might feel a little hesitant, since she has a family. I even thought maybe Choi Tae Joon wouldn’t be too happy about it, but then again, they’re both actors, so maybe he’s used to it.”

When it came to their kissing scene, Kim confessed he was especially anxious. “I was really nervous before the kiss scene," he admitted. "I was stumbling over my words, and Park Shin-hye even asked why I seemed so shaky. It had been a long time since I’d done a kiss scene, so I sort of forgot how. I was so tense I even skipped dinner before filming!"

Kim Jae Young’s honest and funny reflections have added a bit more excitement for fans of The Judge from Hell and his growing career.
