Actress Lim Se-mi expressed her joy at fulfilling her childhood dream of being 'Kye-sang's Wife'.
On the afternoon of the 25th, at the SBS building in Mok-dong, Yangcheon-gu, Seoul, during the press conference for SBS's new Friday-Saturday drama 'The Winning Try' (written by Lim Jin-ah, directed by Jang Young-seok), Lim cited Yoon Kye-sang as the reason she chose this project.
Lim said, "The script was irresistible, and there was no reason not to take it when I heard my partner would be senior Yoon Kye-sang. I'm a die-hard fan of god." She revealed.
She continued, "While the whole nation loved god, I particularly adored senior Kye-sang. My ID was 'Kye-sang's Wife', and I was active under that name in the Seoul Gangnam branch. He was the first idol I ever fell for, my first and last, and I'm still a fan," confessing her fan love for god's Yoon Kye-sang.
Furthermore, Lim expressed, "Acting as partners with senior Yoon Kye-sang was an incredibly honorable time," sharing her happiness.
In response to Lim's fan confession, Yoon Kye-sang said, "Of all the actresses I've met, she was the most comfortable. She really treated me well," showing his gratitude towards Lim.
'The Winning Try' is a comedic sports drama about an unpredictable maverick director, Joo Ga-ram, and the perennially last-place Han Yang High School rugby team's sprint towards national championship victory. The drama is a collaboration between director Jang Young-seok, who co-directed 'Taxi Driver 2', and writer Lim Jin-ah, whose script won the top prize at the SBS Cultural Foundation's script contest.
Yoon Kye-sang plays the role of Joo Ga-ram, the 'eccentric new coach' of the 'perennially last-place' Han Yang High School rugby team. Ga-ram, once a rugby idol enjoying peak popularity, vanished after a doping scandal only to return three years later as the coach of his alma mater's rugby team. Lim Se-mi plays the role of Bae Yi-ji, Ga-ram's ex-girlfriend and the playing coach of Han Yang High School's shooting team, who finds herself in turmoil upon her 'ex-boyfriend' Ga-ram's unexpected return.
Lim shared, "Working on this project with senior Kye-sang was so joyful and fun on set. But when we met, instead of fun, it was more like blood was flying because of the conflict. It was exciting and happy to meet on set, but we had to glare and be angry at each other. Then, the moment we heard 'cut', we burst into laughter," asking the audience to enjoy the bickering chemistry between Joo Ga-ram and Bae Yi-ji in the drama.
'The Winning Try' will premiere on the 25th at 9:50 PM, following 'Our Movie'.
