KBS2 started to air the Korean adaptation of the American television series Suits on Wednesday, April 25. Jang Dong Gun and Park Hyung Sik, who play the role of Choi Kang Suk and Go Yeon Woo respectively, are now getting the attention of everyone as the dashing lawyers from the best Korean law firm. As the legal drama is originally from the foreign country, the two stars talk about the pros and cons of doing it.
Suits stars attended V Live broadcast and revealed the hardships of filming the legal drama series, per Hello Kpop. Jang Dong Gun opened up about how he got a sore throat when he did the court scenes. "There are court scenes in which I have to speak alone for about four minutes," he said. At the time, he had to film it in four different angles; thus, it irritated his throat. From here, he learned it is actually hard to say his "lines casually."
Park Hyung Sik, on the other hand, revealed the difficulties of playing Go Yeon Woo's role in Suits. The 26-year-old star's character is known to be a genius lawyer; thus, every time he speaks, he has to make it look like he is getting the information straight from his head. "And not trying to remember things," he adds. However, in spite of the troubles, he is thankful for his work as his memory improves.
Meanwhile, in a different interview with KBS' Entertainment Weekly, per Soompi, it looks like Jang Dong Gun and Park Hyung Sik want to grab the Best Couple award for Suits. As the show's MC revealed some of the on-screen bromances in Korean dramas became very famous, they ended up winning the Best Couple award at the year-end award shows.
"Should we try to go for that?" Jang Dong Gun asked Park Hyung Sik. "I'm confident," the latter responded. The Strong Girl Bong-Soon star said he is 100% sure they have a good chance to win the Best Couple award as Suits centers on their bromance. In fact, when he watched the original American version of the series, he quickly thought the 46-year-old actor is the best fit to play the role of Harvey Spector. "He's perfect," he said. Suits airs every Wednesday and Thursday at 10 p.m. KST on KBS2.
