Heo Nam-joon recently met with Sports Chosun at a cafe in Samcheong-dong, Seoul, and responded to the end of the interview for "100 Memories."
"100 Memories" is a new-tro youth melodrama about the brilliant friendship between Go Young-rye (Kim Da-mi) and Seo Jong-hee (Shin Ye-eun) on the 100th bus, and the affectionate first love surrounding Han Jae-pil (Heo Nam-joon), the fateful man of the two friends. In the play, Heo Nam-joon played the role of Jae-pil, Yeong-rye's first love.
Heo Nam-jun said of Kim Dami "I thought she would be gentle because of her image, but she was more powerful than I thought. "He is tall and the atmosphere itself is hard." "What impressed me the most while filming was the delicacy. My eyes are really deep looking at the script. Looking at it on the spot, I thought 'Oh, I should read the script like that. I learned a lot." Then "I felt that I was a person who could lean on naturally. Even if I was just next to him, I could trust him. So it was an actor I wanted to call 'Sister'" he added.
He also shared his later story about the kissing scene. Heo Nam-jun said "It was not easy to capture emotions in the camera. I thought a lot about how to express their emotions"I asked the director a lot of questions before filming and repeated monitoring to relax."
He said, `It was my first major film, so I felt a lot of pressure, but my chemistry with Kim Dami gave me a sense of stability. There was a strong feeling of support from the side. "One of the reasons why I was able to draw out the pure and delicate emotions of Jae-pil was because of the character Young-rye," he stressed.
Meanwhile, '100 Memories' started with 3.3% in the first episode and showed a steady rise, ending with 8.1% viewership in the final episode on the 19th.
