Oh Yeon-soo said, “I play Hwang Shin-hye, a former psychiatrist and a current profiler. She lived with Dong-soo (Lee Beom-soo) in the same house but she had to marry a guy she didn’t love. She will have a romance with Dong-soo”.
Kim Jae-joong said, “My character Heo Young-dal is a gangster, who lives in Sabuk in Gangwon province. He keeps his desires and ambitions and will start to change little by little after meeting his brothers and Baek Jin-hee”. Baek Jin-hee said, “I play ‘Oh Jung-hee’, who’s from a poor family but never gives up her dreams. Please watch her romance with ‘Heo Young-dal’ and ‘Yoon Yang-ha’.
Yim Si-wan said, “I play ‘Jang Dong-woo, the youngest brother. He was adopted by a rich family who made a fortune doing the coal mining business when he was young. He studies casino management in the US. He acquired new name, ‘Yoon Yang-ha’ after being adopted. He has everything but he can’t fully hide his loneliness and his cold heart”. Lee Yoon-mi said, I play ‘Madam Jang’ who works at the casino. I’ll do my best to make the drama more interesting”.
Yoo Cheol-yong said, “I always wanted to work with Lee Beom-soo. There is a scene in the highlight video where the three brothers got separated.. I think he had the image of a big brother who takes care of his little brothers. He is a truthful and serious actor”.
The director also mentioned about Kim Jae-joong, saying “He is a unique actor. He has a natural and a raw image. I thought he is suitable for his new character different from his past roles”. About Yim Si-wan he said, “He was praised for his acting skills. But this time, I want to help him appeal as a man even if he is the youngest. I want to portrait a new image”.
Lee Beom-soo will have a romance with Oh Yeon-soo
- Beom-soo, you have played various characters so far. You are a detective now.
I like the job because detectives have some kind of freedom. I once inspected crime scenes with police detectives at Gangnam Police Station, it was really helpful. I actually saw the detectives arrest safecrackers. I’m trying my best to portrait my character as a realistic police detective. I’m so happy to work with director Yoo Cheol-yong and writer Choi Wan-gyu”.
- How did you feel when you shot ‘Dr. Jin’ with Kim Jae-joong? What do you think of him?
Kim Jae-joong is a humble man and a hard worker. He is always the same. He manages his schedules without complaining. He is a good actor. I’m happy to work with him again. Kim Jae-joong has a lot of potential and is a very attractive actor. I think the viewers will be drawn to him more after this drama
- You have a nickname ‘Beoreok Beomsoo (or angry Beomsoo)’. Will you be the same?
I got the nickname after the drama ‘Surgeon Bong Dal Hee’ because of my character. ‘Jang Dong-soo’ in ‘Triangle’ is a violent man who has deep emotional scars from a young age. He couldn’t protect his brothers and he had to live with other families, which show in his characteristics. I heard of the term ‘anger disorder’ for the first time.
- ‘Prime Minister and I’ did not draw high TV ratings. Don’t you feel under pressure?
I worry about ratings every time I shoot a drama. But it’s something I can’t control. I’ll do my best again. I don’t know how the results will be. I won’t focus on the ratings so much but on making a good drama.
The first episode of ‘Triangle’, the story of the fate and love of the three brothers, will be aired at 10pm on May 5th.
