[HanCinema's News] Bae Hyun-sung Talks About "Our Blues"

Recently actor Bae Hyun-sung gave an interview about his performance in "Our Blues" where he stars as one part of a greater ensemble as a high school student in a forbidden relationship. Though filming on "Our Blues" has long since completed, Bae Hyun-sung confessed to still thinking about his time making the drama. Bae Hyun-sung claims that filming ended in December of last year, and that with every broadcast he thinks about how he'll never do that role again.

In describing the script reading, Bae Hyun-sung noted how at that time he wondered to screenwriter Noh Hee-kyeong whether his character should be as strong-willed as he was. Bae Hyun-sung observed that though his character was portrayed as having as similarly as strong a will as his father, played by Park Ji-hwan, in the end he was still a child. But Noh Hee-kyeong encouraged Bae Hyun-sung to show that strength in more subtle ways, such as his actions or the look in his eyes.

Bae Hyun-sung also praised his elder co-stars for encouraging him and telling him that he did a good job. Bae Hyun-sung confessed to having his own doubts about the quality of his work, but their praise emboldened him. Bae Hyun-sung noted that the experience of seeing them on-screen, rather than as his co-stars, was a peculiar one. Bae Hyun-sung considered Kim Woo-bin to be the most peculiar of all his co-stars, as Bae Hyun-sung has long been a fan of the older actor.

According to Bae Hyun-sung, he's admired Kim Woo-bin ever since "School 2013" where he made a noteworthy appearance. But he dared not say as much to Kim Woo-bin directly, despite the fact that Bae Hyun-sung mentions it all the time in interviews. Bae Hyun-sung has sheepishly admitted to hoping that Kim Woo-bin never finds out. Bae Hyun-sung has also admitted an interest in action movies, citing his on-screen father Park Ji-hwan's appearance in "The Roundup" as inspirational.

As a new actor, Bae Hyun-sung is still working on establishing his career, and has made the most of a career that started with a minor appearance in "What's Wrong With Secretary Kim" back in 2018. He's already been confirmed as the second lead in "Gauss Electronics" which is expected to premiere on Olleh TV later this year. "Our Blues" had ratings of 10.949% in its most recent episode, the fourteenth, which aired on May 22nd.
