Kim Hye Yoon shares her thoughts on the characters Im Sol and Sun Jae from “Lovely Runner.”
The pictorial was taken in London for Singles Korea magazine.
Kim Hye Yoon fulfilled a bucket list item by visiting filming locations of ‘Harry Potter’ and ‘Sherlock’ in London.
“One of the items on my bucket list was personally visiting the location where the ‘Harry Potter’ and ‘Sherlock’ series were filmed. The past few days I spent in London were really happy and enjoyable.”
She expressed that due to work commitments, she hasn’t traveled abroad frequently in the past.
“Honestly, I haven’t been able to go often.”
“Situations would arise where I would suddenly have to go filming or partake in an audition, so it was hard to plan. That’s why I lived without knowing how happy and enjoyable traveling is.”
Kim Hye Yoon found joy in traveling and is gradually understanding its pleasures.
The most memorable part of her London visit was hearing the bell sound from Big Ben, which was used in ‘Harry Potter’.
“I went to see London’s landmark, the clock tower Big Ben, and I really enjoyed it. I heard that the Hogwart bell sound in the film ‘Harry Potter’ was recorded from Big Ben. I wanted to personally listen to it with my own ears some day, and it was a moment that became reality.”
Kim Hye Yoon shared her struggles with nervousness in acting and how she overcame it.
“I tend to get very nervous when I want to do well or when I have to do well.”
She finds strength in positive feedback from fans and feels fulfilled in her decision to pursue acting.
“When I hear words of strength from fans or when I hear, ‘I was happy and enjoyed watching the drama and film thanks to you,’ I get the thought, ‘It was a good decision to go into acting. It was good that I endured through the difficult times.’”
A script book about the newlywed life of Sun Jae and Im Sol will be released after the success of “Lovely Runner.”
Kim Hye Yoon is curious about the script book and plans to read it when it’s released.
“I’m also very curious. ‘Lovely Runner’ is a project that has already ended, but I think from time to time that Sol and Sun Jae are doing well somewhere out there. I also plan on reading the script book when it’s released.”
Kim Hye Yoon predicts Sol and Sun Jae will have a loving yet bickering marriage.
Sun Jae is expected to be bold and express his feelings openly to Sol.
Sol may feel burdened by Sun Jae but secretly enjoy it.
“I think they will live lovingly while bickering. It appears in the drama too, but Sun Jae is bold, so I think he will straghtforwardly express his feelings to Sol regardless of career or work. Sol will feel burdened by Sun Jae but actually enjoy it on the inside.”
Kim Hye Yoon imagines Sol being secretly upset if Sun Jae stars in a romance drama she directs.
Despite not being good at drinking, Sol might drink alone to cope.
Kim Hye Yoon hopes to evolve as an actress and portray more mature roles in the future.
“No matter how I change, I hope to walk the path of acting as a more mature person than the current Kim Hye Yoon.”
