Actress Lee Sunbin talked about SIWON's special appearance and their chemistry in her upcoming movie "Ugly Duckling Ms. Maeng 수능, 출제의 비밀" at the screening and guest discussion of the movie at the 31st Busan International Film Festival (BIFF)
She said, “We filmed this after finishing Season 2 of Work Later, Drink Now, so it felt like we were still filming Work Later, Drink Now. I was very comfortable in the scenes with CHOI SIWON sunbaenim.”
She continued, “He looks really cool in the film. There’s a behind-the-scenes story: he appears wearing sunglasses. He thought that if he kept his eyes hidden, the audience wouldn’t realize it was him. So he stuck with that throughout the filming.”
“But when I watched the movie today, I knew it was CHOI SIWON the moment he appeared. I had tried to stay immersed and maintain that illusion, but since it didn’t work, seeing him brought back memories of filming, which made it really funny,” she added.
She also said, “It felt very familiar, I could rely on him a lot, and I was happy to see him again. He has the charisma and comedic presence that many viewers can feel from CHOI SIWON. Even though his eyes were hidden behind sunglasses, people laughed a lot just because of his physical presence.”
“I think that shows the power that CHOI SIWON sunbaenim has as an actor. Watching it now, I was really happy to see him again, and our chemistry was, needless to say, great,” she expressed.
Ugly Duckling Ms. Maeng will be released in South Korea on October 28, 2026
