Choi Tae Joon and Yang Hye Ji have shared their thoughts on their characters and their interactions on set of “Iron Family”!
Penned by screenwriter Seo Sook Hyang of “Pasta,” “Don’t Dare to Dream” (also known as “Jealousy Incarnate”), and “Wok of Love,” “Iron Family” is a dark comedy about a family that has run a laundry business for three generations.
Choi Tae Joon plays Cha Tae Woong, a part-time worker at Cheongryeom Laundry, while Yang Hye Ji stars as Lee Cha Rim, the second daughter of the Cheongnyeom Laundry family. The two share a special, yet somewhat complicated relationship. Tae Woong expresses his feelings for Cha Rim, believing they are mutual, but Cha Rim rejects his advances, leading to a push-and-pull relationship that adds excitement to the drama.
Choi Tae Joon and Yang Hye Ji shared their thoughts on their characters, interactions on set, and anticipation for the drama’s premiere.
Choi Tae Joon expressed his excitement about working with writer Seo Sook Hyang and director Sung Jun Hae, saying, “I have always been a fan of writer Seo Sook Hyang. It’s an honor and a pleasure to act in a drama written by her. I eagerly anticipate each new episode’s script.” He added, “The director always creates a vibrant atmosphere on set. He is very attentive and considerate and always ensures that actors can perform under the best conditions. I am always grateful for that.”
He continued, “Tae Woong is a charming yet complex character with a complicated background. He has experienced many things that I cannot personally relate to. I can’t reveal too much as it might be a spoiler, but I can confidently say that I’ve grown a lot while acting as Tae Woong.”
Choi Tae Joon also talked about his strong chemistry with his co-stars. He shared, “I feel like I have gained two younger siblings while playing Tae Woong, and I’m really enjoying it. Acting with Geum Sae Rok and Yang Hye Ji makes it easy to become naturally affectionate.”
Yang Hye Ji described her character Cha Rim as having a “cold exterior but a naive and innocent charm” and shared her efforts to differentiate her expressions, gestures, and actions depending on her scene partners.
She also spoke about reuniting with actress Park Ji Young, who plays her mother in the drama, after working together on “Revenant,” saying, “During the filming of ‘Revenant,’ I addressed her as ‘sunbae,’ but now I’m happy that I can call her ‘mom’ whenever I want. She’s a senior actress who gives me a lot of guidance on set, so I’m trying to learn as much as I can from her.”
In conclusion, Yang Hye Ji remarked, “I’m working on this project with wonderful people. All that remains is to receive the viewers’ love, so I’ll do my best in filming.” Choi Tae Joon added, “We will do our best to bring happy smiles to everyone. Please tune in to the drama.”
“Iron Family” is set to premiere on September 28 at 7:55 p.m. KST.
