In an exciting new interview, Gi So You, the child star of SBS’s hit drama "Love Scout," sat down with the show's lead actors Han Ji Min and Lee Jun Hyuk to delve into the intricacies of their characters and the overwhelming positive reception of the series.

"Love Scout" features Han Ji Min as Kang Ji Yun, a fiercely competent CEO who excels in her professional life but struggles with personal matters, and Lee Jun Hyuk as Yu Eun Ho, her incredibly adept secretary who not only handles his job impeccably but also juggles childcare and household responsibilities like a pro.

In a lighthearted moment during the interview, Han Ji Min humorously inquired, “Are we really getting a lot of love?” Upon receiving confirmation, she shared, “It’s so great. Receiving a lot of love for the project feels like the happiest thing for an actor, so I’m really happy.” Lee Jun Hyuk echoed her sentiments, adding with a bright smile, “It’s absolutely wonderful.”

When discussing their favorite scenes from the drama, Lee Jun Hyuk revealed that he particularly loved the emotional ending of episode 6, where the characters meet at the Seoul Arts Center. He also fondly mentioned the earlier interactions with his on-screen daughter, Byul, where he showcases their heartwarming chemistry through tender moments of affection.

Gi So You expertly probed deeper into the complexities of their characters' relationship. Han Ji Min described Kang Ji Yun as someone who should embody a gentler nature, stating, “[Kang Ji Yun should be] not sharp but round and gentle.” She expressed how her character has softened after her relationship with Eun Ho, saying, “Many of her prickly and sharp personality traits have become rounded out thanks to him.”

On the other hand, Lee Jun Hyuk emphasized the importance of honesty in Eun Ho’s character development, suggesting, “It’s about time he expresses his true feelings for Ji Yun.” This revelation highlights a growing tension that fans are eager to see unfold in upcoming episodes.
