Check this Interview: [INTERVIEW] Lee Min-ho, Now the Fatally Attractive Inheritor Kim Tan
Lee Min-ho finally meets writer Kim Eun-sook. I’m curious to know what sort of things a star actor and star writer talked about on their first encounter.
Lee Min-ho: It actually felt uncomfortable having to play the role of a high school student since I’m turning 27 next year. But the writer told me to just act the way I do right now.
You played the role of a student many times in the beginning of your acting career but hadn’t at all since “Boys Over Flowers.” So what’s the reason you decided to do the drama when it makes you feel uncomfortable?
Lee: I tried to shed myself of the image of being young after “Boys Over Flowers.” But over time, and with my life revolving solely around work, I realized I was becoming an adult and poised. So I wanted to play a cheerful character before I get any older, and this is the choice I decided go to with.
Actors of teenage dramas these days, including the recent tvN series “Monstar,” said they referred to your character Goo Joon-pyo from “Boys Over Flowers” to play their characters. What about you? Did you refer to Goo Joon-pyo to play Kim Tan?
Lee: I tried not to think about Goo Joon-pyo but he had multiple characteristics that were typical of male romantic drama characters so I think that inevitably, there’ll be some scenes where the two seem similar. But I’m very different from then. I’ve changed a lot. So I’m trying not to think about it. When I take on a role, I try to become my character by leaving myself behind and thinking about what my character is like but this time, I emptied myself of all such thoughts and have been acting him out based on what I thought of him when I was first given the role.
