So we swapped roles and read the script. That was a big help. I thought that what Joo Ho-jin says could hurt others, but Yoon-jung told me that Ho-jin only speaks facts, and if the other person gets hurt, he should just apologize. Through the process of adjusting to each other, I was able to understand the character Joo Ho-jin better.”
