The "She Would Never Know" Cast Members Share Their Thoughts About This Romance Drama

Won Jin-ah on how she prepared for her role

"As I was unfamiliar with the role, I sought a lot of help during the preparation. I found quite a few vlogs on YouTube that were made by beauty youtubers and cosmetic brand marketers themselves. Also, thankfully, the production crew arranged a meeting for me with current cosmetic brand marketers. They were more dignified and honest than I imagined, very impressive. They know what suits them and how to groom up appropriately when expressing their individuality. In a sense, Song Ah would also have a mindset of being the face of 'KLAR,' so I tend to be more attentive to the makeup, hairstyle and dressing that create who Song Ah is, hoping that every single detail could well reflect the love and passion Song Ah has for her career."

Won Jin-ah on what she loved about her character and what her similarities with Song Ah are

"I think Song Ah’s advantage is her 'kindness' that can neither be looked down on nor roughly treated. She is proud of her job, thinks and acts independently without going with the stream, and all this makes her very cool. Meanwhile, she tends to be infinitely clumsy and dull when it comes to personal issues with her family and romance. She’s particularly charming as she is kind of 'looking strong with soft heart' style who can’t stand someone else being treated unfairly but can silently bear whatever comes to her. She is trustworthy and sensible with everything, but on the other hand, that would draw sympathy, comfort and embracement. What Song Ah and I have in common is that we are both ambitious of work and ambitious of doing it right. Song Ah even skipped work to be at 'KLAR' store, and so am I who like to work nonstop."

Won Jin-ah on her chemistry with Rowoon

"I thought he might be a bright and healthy guy since he is very active in various areas. But during our working together, I was surprised by his solemnity and carefulness. He has an in-depth mindset and very open-minded. On the other hand, he also has a bit of ambition for being humorous, making jokes and getting funny with around, thus creating a happy and lively shooting set. I felt a sense of responsibility as an actor from him. The chemistry degree should be graded by the audience, so I’d prefer to grade how happy it was working with Ro Woon, and it’s 100 points out of 100 points!"

Won Jin-ah on the most interesting and impressive scene in the drama

"I’d like to pick the first scene in the first episode, where Song Ah and Hyun Sung were having a meeting. It clearly presents their relationship as a kick-start of the drama. 'To somebody’s credit, (Hyun Sung) very remarkable, isn’t he?' 'To Senior (Song Ah)’s credit.' These lines explain that they are senior-junior relationship at workplace. However, in the last scene in the first episode, when Hyun Sung wiped the unsuitable lipstick off Song Ah’s lip, their relationship suddenly started to change. It was very impressive that the contrast between opening and ending alone could demonstrate the story flow."

Won Jin-ah on what's special about the love story in their drama

"With Song Ah and Hyun Sung sharing their stories and wounds with each other, the simple senior-junior relationship at work between two became equal as romantic relationship. I find it very special. Also, I feel the support from audience on them growing and developing by cultivating love and finding selves."

Rowoon on how he prepared for the role

He says, "At first, I was curious about the meaning of 'growing up,' so I read a lot on philosophy and psychology, and consulted many people as well. Finally, I realized that people’s perspective might be different even though we live in the same world. In addition, I practiced phonation and pronunciation a lot to express my lines more accurately. I also read the script with a creative and innovative spirit." This is only the second time Rowoon is starring in a drama, the first one being via "Extraordinary You."

Rowoon on what he thinks about Won Jin-ah and their collaboration

"A lot of ideas happened to me while I was reading the script. When I expressed them during filming, I found that unnie Jin-ah is a very open and flexible actress. I believe that is what they call the best colleagues. As for Jin-a, she's very charismatic. When we're on set, I've never worked in an office before, so I always have a lot of questions. Before we start shooting, we eat and talk, and she thinks about how we could express things better with me. She's a good senior."

Rowoon on the unforgettable moments during shooting

"To be honest, each and every moment was unforgettable. All scenes were special. I hope all of them could stay in my memory," he shares. But Rowoon cited his favorite scene with Won Jin-ah:"My favorite one was the scene where we chatted in the barbecue restaurant. (This was in episode 3)."

Rowoon on what he found attractive and charming about his role

"Actually, I don’t know how the real me will handle love. I don’t really know what kind of person I am as well. I just accept Hyun-seung’s love as what it is. The title is unique and has a sexy air. The character of Chae Hyun Seung is somewhat of a fantasy character so when I first heard the title I thought it was sexy."

Rowoon on his thoughts about looking and feeling good

"Love yourself. People imagine and think, making endless possibilities. Therefore, the most important thing is to love yourself. Won Jin Ah takes on the role of Yoon Song Ah, who works at a cosmetics company as a professional brand marketer. She dreams of having her own cosmetics brand one day."

Lee Hyun-wook on what attracted him to take up this role

"In some ways, Lee Jae-shin is the most conflicting and narrative character in the drama. He awakens due to his childhood memories, he is a character who only looks forward to success. Therefore, he hurts himself without knowing it. Rather than offering an appearance, I met with the production team for the first time through an audition and meeting. They were such good people and they trusted me a lot. I was lucky to work with these people."

Lee Hyun-wook on his similarity with his character

"I don't usually say that I'm having a hard time seriously and I try to solve it by myself. I don't like depression or stagnation caused by me, so I try to keep my mood from becoming an attitude. Maybe these aspects are similar to Jae-shin."

Lee Hyun-wook on how he made his character shine in this novel-based drama

"In a way, the existing character was more device-liked. However, in the drama the production crew and the author made Lee Jae-shin a narrative character rather than a consumable character, it may be unfortunate, although I don’t think Song Ah and Hyun Seung are not perfect match, I tried to be faithful to the script by making it a humane character."

Lee Hyun-wook on what makes the love story in this drama special

"It seems that both straightforward and fairy-tale parts coexist, so it seems more mature than the romance we knew before. Rather than conclude that it is a simple love story, it is better to think that it has expanded and deeply draws human relationships and love."

Lee Hyun-wook on his dream role

"Rather than playing a dream role, I want to try black comedy these days. Rather than setting something down, I want to continue to try and challenge new acting and do everything if there are interesting characters."

Lee Joo-bin on the interesting aspects of her character

"The role I played is called Lee Hyo Joo, who is the granddaughter of the founder of KLAR, the company brand name in the show. She has everything and always looks so confident and fearless, but she doesn’t quite know how to love others. That’s why she would hurt herself while hurting her loved ones. She is a character struggling between the extremes of reason and instinct."

Lee Joo-bin on how she prepared for her role as a young and rich lady

"What’s difficult, I think, is that I need to figure out and visualize the story line of Hyo Joo, which is not presented in the script. It is a challenge for me to express so many deep and strong emotions in the drama."

Lee Joo-bin on how this drama is different from her other projects

"The character Hyo Joo is not a villain but she needs to express strong feelings in many scenes, which are no less intense than a villain would do. It was interesting to me that she would scream out loud and let off steam totally oblivious of others in the show."

Lee Joo-bin on the unforgettable moments for her during shooting

"There was a scene in which Hyo Joo was shouting out of the bar all alone in the snow. Though it was just a shot, I felt at that moment I was getting into that character completely as if I were her. That scene was filmed over and over again, and I’m catching a cold from it and cannot even say a word the next day. Still it was a whole new experience for me, so I remember it quite clearly."

Lee Joo-bin on what she thinks of the characters in this novel-based drama

"The relationship between Song Ah and Hyun Seung in this drama is ordinary, but their feelings are delicate and persuasive, which might be the show's quality. Their stories are not that different from those in realities. Plus, plots like office romances are prone to become conventional if not elaborated well, but from what I’ve seen, it portrays quite well of how these two people engage with each other from just coworkers into a more intimate relationship."
