Drama Director Thought Ji Chang Wook And Kim Ji Won Were Dating — Here’s Why

At a recent press conference for Kakao TV‘s new drama, Lovestruck in the City, director Park Shin Woo talked about the chemistry between his two leads.

The two leads of the drama are none other than Ji Chang Wook and Kim Ji Won.

And Director Park shared that they’re close beyond words.

They’re very close, and they get along very well. There’s no need for words.

But Director Park added that he was first worried when he knew they’d be working together.

At first, they looked a little too similar as if they’re brother and sister. So I was worried at first.

And that worry turned into a complete opposite worry once he saw them together on set.

When I saw them together, I was worried they were dating.

Director Park stressed that despite how close they are in real life, they were professionals when the cameras were rolling.

They’re both professionals, so regardless of how close they are, they battled it out in front of the camera. Their chemistry is amazing both as people and actors. I’m benefiting as a result.

— Director Park
