Um Ji-won recently met with Sports Chosun at By4M Studio in Gangnam-gu, Seoul, and said, `I think Jae-wook and I will be able to win the Best Couple Award at the year-end ceremony.'
KBS2's weekend drama that ended on the 3rd 'Please take care of the 5 Eagle brothers!' (played by Yoo Sang-sook, directed by Choi Sang-yeol and Lee Jin-ah) is a work about a ripe family story created by the eldest brother, who became the breadwinner of her husband's sudden death 10 days after marriage to five brothers with a long-standing brewery eagle sultoga, with a highest viewership rating of 21.9% (counted by Nielsen Korea, nationwide). Um Ji-won played Ma Kwang-sook, who became the owner of the eagle sultoga, at the window of Siwan Post Office in the play.
Um Ji-won depicts a warm middle-aged romance with Ahn Jae-wook, who plays Han Dong-seok, the chairman of LX Hotel. He said "I had such a good chemistry with Jaewook. We asked each other to meet in the next work, and we ended up with a success. "We're not the type to be complacent, we're the ones trying to do more. I always go 'What's lacking with Jaewook? Is there anything missing?'I tried to find more complementary points.'"
When asked to choose the mood maker on the spot, "Isn't it me?," he replied, shaking his head. In response, Um Ji-won "I thought chemistry with the five brothers was important because the beginning was a story with my brothers-in-law." I wanted to show my mother (Park Jun-geum) and mother-daughter chemistry like Tiki-taka friends. In Oh Brothers, Yoon Park was already close because she filmed 'postpartum care center' together, and the other four actors were new to each other. Still, I was able to make a group messenger room and get close quickly because I had Yoon Park. At the beginning of the shoot, we tried to build a close friendship by having a drinking party," he added.
Finally, regarding the possibility of winning the KBS Acting Awards, "I didn't choose the work just by looking at the awards ceremony. I wanted to show warm, bright, and stress-free works. Even with that, I'm already so grateful. The year-end awards ceremony is likely to change its fate depending on what happens in the second half of the year. I'll think about my luck at the end of the year," he said with a smile. In the meantime, about winning the Best Couple Award with Ahn Jae-wook, he said, `I think we'll get it (laughs). 'Please take care of the five eagle brothers!' I thought I would get it from the team, but it's okay not to get it."
