He will express his feelings about Do Min Joon and the drama to you. Question: Please talk a little about this character that you play. Do Min Joon, the character that I act is someone who has lived on earth for 400 years and looks as if he possesses everything. However, he does not know what exactly he is lacking in and conceals a shred of regret. If everyone falls for the charm of Do Min Joon, I will be very happy. Question: Why did you decide to star in ‘My Love From Another Star’? The charm of the theme is more important than anything else. The character that I play is set up to be an alien, I am very much attracted to this, I wish to challenge a completely new character. Question: Can you tell us the reason for the immense popularity of the works that you have starred in? And when you are choosing a project and in terms of acting, what is the standard and aim that you set for yourself? The immense popularity for the works that I have starred in, to a great extent is truly due to good luck. In addition, it is really because many people were deeply attracted to the plot and characters. It is precisely because of everyone’s support, my works could have achieved immense popularity. When I am choosing a project, if there is no way that I am conceding, (I think he means that if no matter what the reason, he’s not letting go of a particular character and he has to take it up, then that’s the role that he wishes to undertake.) then that is the character. As for what I want from my acting, whether I am able to express the emotions of my character (is what I consider). Question: How do you feel about being able to act opposite Jun Ji Hyun again? After our first collaboration in ‘The Thieves’, this is the second time. I felt relaxed and delighted working along with her. If I am to talk about behind-the-scenes…as I was too relaxed, sometimes I could not control my emotions and I burst out laughing. Afterwards, we accommodated each other. It was always me who laughed, resulting in many NGs. Question: How do you feel about acting as an alien? Is there anything that you refer to? With regard to this character Do Min Joon, there is not really much that I can refer to. I had discussions and compared notes with the director and writer many times. In terms of acting out the character, I wanted to give it my best effort to make it prefect and I forged ahead unceasingly towards this goal. To be specific, I envisioned of using love to fill up the hole in Do Min Joon’s inner world and then I made my interpretation following this goal. In terms of acting out this role, what is the most difficult part or what are the goals and aims that you have? I worked hard to portray the long years that Do Min Joon has spent on earth. For just this part, I have spent already a lot of effort. Question: There were many medical and professional terminology used, do you have any special technique for remembering these lines? There were many words where I heard of them for the first time, I was very confused myself, but normally I would always pay attention to them, the words that appeared in my lines. I would understand their meanings carefully and then say them out. From this drama, I have also learnt a lot. Question: Which is your favourite scene? In this drama, there were many beautiful kiss scenes, especially the frozen lake kiss, I have a deep impression of that. (From the epilogue of episode 11) Question: As a man yourself, what do you think the charm of Do Min Joon is? I think it is his cold interior but warm exterior.At first glance, he looks like a guy who is not in the least interested in women. On the surface, he pretends that he could not care less but in actual fact, he was heartbroken long ago. He appears to be grumpy, but actually it comes from the deep love inside of him. I think these aspects are particularly charismatic. Question: Do you want to act as a character like Cheon Song Yi? Every time I look at the script, I would think that she is an extremely charming character. If it can be realised, I wish to challenge it once. Question: Do Min Joon’s crying scenes have touched many people. Before filming them, what kind of mentality do you carry? I do not actually imagine how I should cry, I just completely think of myself as Do Min Joon. Question: ‘My Love From Another Star’ is loved by many viewers, what do you think is the reason? Perhaps many people already think it is like that, I think the richly interesting theme should be the reason for its explosive popularity. Question: For actor Kim Soo Hyun, what does ‘My Love From Another Star’ mean to you? Mentally speaking, I feel that I have been entrusted with a great topic. Externally, I feel it is a new starting point for myself. Question: Is there anything you wish to say to the Japanese viewers? Hello Japanese viewers, please take yourselves to be as Cheon Song Yi and connect your feelings with Do Min Joon. In this way, you will definitely be able to experience the brilliance of this drama, thank you everyone.
