Lee Sung Kyung And Kim Young Kwang On Working Together For “Call It Love” + What They Think True Love Is

In a recent pictorial and interview for Elle Korea magazine, Lee Sung Kyung and Kim Young Kwang dished on their new drama “Call It Love”!

“Call It Love” is a Disney+ series about the love story between Shim Woo Joo, a woman seeking revenge even though it doesn’t quite suit her personality (played by Lee Sung Kyung), and Han Dong Jin, the pitiful target of her vengeance (played by Kim Young Kwang).

When asked about their characters, Kim Young Kwang described Han Dong Jin by saying, “Amongst people who are desperate to quickly express their feelings, he’s someone who doesn’t know how to express his emotions, and he doesn’t have any particular desire to reveal himself [or his feelings].”

Meanwhile, Lee Sung Kyung recalled, “When I was reading the script, I was drawn to Woo Joo’s bold and honest dialogue, but as I looked deeper into her, she was a clumsy and inexpert woman who didn’t have an ounce of vengeance in her DNA. I found those kinds of changes interesting.”

As for what each of them thought about the casting of their co-star, Kim Young Kwang shared, “Sung Kyung was just the epitome of Shim Woo Joo herself. She’s an actress who’s admirable in the way she flexibly makes decisions and finds her focus even on a hectic filming set.”

Lee Sung Kyung similarly commented, “[Young Kwang] has a melancholy vibe that’s similar to the Dong Jin I’d imagined in my head. It really felt like I was meeting the actual character from the script. He’s someone from whom I had a lot to learn in terms of the way he was constantly thinking about [how to act out] every single scene.”

When asked to name each other’s strengths in terms of acting in a romance, Lee Sung Kyung replied without hesitation, “His face when he smiles brightly.”

Kim Young Kwang answered, “If I had to make a comparison, she has a cute side that’s just like a puppy.”

Finally, the two actors shared their thoughts on the definition of true love.

Reflecting on what true love is, Kim Young Kwang remarked, “Continuously gazing at the other person. The feeling of not wanting to miss a single second, not being able to take your eyes off that person, and always wanting to be together with them.”

Meanwhile, Lee Sung Kyung noted, “You can smile and be happy together with anyone when things are going well, but I think it’s real love when your heart aches for someone when they’re going through a difficult time or when they disappear.”
