Im Siwan and Director Park Dan-hee engage in playful "interview" to promote 'Love In Disguise'

Actor Im Siwan and director Park Dan-hee of the drama 'Love In Disguise' met under the unique setting of a final interview for Taegang Group. Released by THEBLACKLABEL, the video reconstructs the character relationships from the drama into a variety-style situation to build anticipation for the work.

"Hard to discard any cuts" Director Park Dan-hee praises Im Siwan's acting

In response to questions from Executive Director Yoon I-jun (a role-play setting) acting as the interviewer, Director Park Dan-hee expressed deep trust in actor Im Siwan. Park evaluated Im Siwan as an actor so greedy for quality that "it is hard to discard even one cut at a time." She emphasized that choosing during the editing process was very difficult because Im Siwan's acting was so excellent that he could create a new drama even from NG cuts or other takes, suggesting the actor's capabilities contributed to the work's completeness.

Interview questions and unexpected situations lead to 'Love In Disguise' promotion

The interview naturally transitioned into a promotion for the drama 'Love In Disguise'. When asked why one should watch the work within 30 seconds, Director Park answered by mentioning the appearances of Executive Director Yoon I-jun, secretary Kang Jae-hee (played by Im Siwan), and actress Seol In-ah. In a following question regarding whom she would credit if the drama's viewership ratings were high, Park showed playful confidence, answering, "To be honest, I have a little bit of credit too." She also expressed a desire to receive a Best Director award rather than a Best Actor award for the work.

Unexpected situations also occurred during the interview process. During a quick-wittedness test requiring an acrostic poem using her name, Director Park performed one using 'Park Dan-hee', and Im Siwan concluded the interview with an acrostic poem themed around 'Yoon I-jun'. Throughout this process, the cast exchanged jokes and witty answers that deviated from the script, capturing both the tension of an interview setting and variety-style fun. When asked for her interview score, Park showed a cheerful side by answering 10 out of 10.

Promises of future works and anticipation for the project

The end of the video captured expectations for future collaborations between Im Siwan and Director Park Dan-hee. Im Siwan shared a behind-the-scenes story of promising to work on a next project together while drinking whiskey with Director Park, expressing his desire to meet again through a work someday. Director Park also encouraged interest in the project, stating she had confirmed sufficient potential through the interview.

After finishing the interview, Im Siwan shared his thoughts, saying, "I was flustered from beginning to end, so I can't remember," but noted that the most memorable moment was when Executive Director Yoon I-jun performed an acrostic poem using his name. Im Siwan concluded the video by expressing his hope that 'Love In Disguise' will be produced once again.
