Meanwhile, Rowoon made a special appearance as Tae-ha, a friend of Yeon-jun’s.In a new interview with SBS Star, the actor spoke about how he had “always wanted to work together” with Rowoon and “recommended” the former SF9 member when production was looking for a special guest actor.
“The production team loved the idea [and Rowoon] agreed straight away,” he recalled.Ahn Hyo-seop later spoke about how he thought it would be “great to bring in the friend I love for the role” because of what the relationship between their characters represent. “Koo Yeon-jun is attracted to Tae-ha,” he explained.
“Love has many forms, and I believe that the affection you feel for your friend is one of them.”The actor admitted that “initially it was a bit awkward” on set because it was the first time they had worked together on-screen. “It was strange but quite refreshing,” he added, saying that eventually he “got comfortable” working with Rowoon on set.
“It was fun.”“Still, I experienced some discomfort while portraying certain scenes, and it was not easy to monitor my own performance in those scenes,” Ahn Hyo-seop continued. “We became immersed in the situation while acting.
But as soon as the scene was over, we got annoyed that we had been so into it.”A Time Called You director Kim Jin-won also recently revealed that Rowoon wasn’t paid “any money” for his role in the series. Meanwhile, lead actress Jeon Yeo-been touched on how a kiss scene was the most memorable moment during the production of the new Netflix K-drama.
