Q: Feelings after reading the script?
 |
| Lee Se Young starring as the warm-hearted anesthesiology, Kang Si Young |
Lee Se Young: When I think about Si Young and Professor Cha Yo Han, my heart ached and my chest felt heavy. I was wondering how I could convey those feelings in the story to the viewers, I had a lot of fun reading the script. and especially liked the ending.
Q: How did you prepare to play this role?
Jisung: This is my second medical drama, and while filming the first one (New Heart), there were parts I remember I could've done more naturally when expressing my feelings. I thought about those times, read books, thought about what we need to be happy and what a doctor could do for others. So those are some things I did. That's all.
Lee Se Young: I've seen real doctors at work, seeing patients. And all the actors were given a medical training. I worked hard, but when I tried to do it for real, it wasn't easy. I was nervous. Anyway, I'm doing my best.
Q: Any challenges while filming?
Lee Se Young: The weather is getting hotter these days. There are many medical terms in my lines. Those lines keep disappearing from my brain due to the heat. So I keep making mistakes. That's what's been happening lately.
Q: What's special about this drama?
Ji Sung: There's no one who doesn't cherish every moment of their lives. If something bad happens to such people, they'll feel devastated. Their families and friends will be sad. This is a medical drama and melodrama at the same time that portrays heartbroken people and incidents that can happen to us.
Lee Se Young: The thing to look for in our drama is although it's a story set in a hospital, there is a story about people in it. It's a heart-warming, touching, and entertaining story. It has everything, and I hope you will enjoy it.
Q: How are Si Young and Se Young similar?
Lee Se Young: A similarity I share with Si Young is...I feel awkward saying this, but they are both "righteous". They don't compromise. Some may say we are stubborn.
Q: How was it at the shooting?
Lee Se Young: Everyone's so nice and humorous, but I found out that Director Jo Su Won is so lovely. I wanted to point that out. Everyone is so proud of him.
Q: Few words to the viewers.
Ji Sung: All the cast and staff members are working so hard to reach out to the people with a heartfelt story. I wish it'll be on air soon. It's been a while since we started filming, so I'm curious how it'll come out.
Lee Se Young: Stay tuned for "Doctor Room" It airs in July. I love you, guys.
