Jeon Do Yeon’s Interview
Crash Course in Romance is essentially your return to the romance genre after over 15 years. Why did you think this was the right time to take up this role? What part of the script hooked you?
This drama has what I was looking for, which is a bright storyline. I loved how positive and brave Haeng Seon was even though she had to give up her dreams for her brother and nephew. It hooked me to this script.
You play the role of a mother to your sister's daughter. If in real life too, you had to take care of an acquaintance's child, how would you as Jeon Do Yeon approach the situation? Would you set aside your life's goals too?
Children are precious. If I had to push my goals aside for them, I would do so and devote myself to the life that is given. I believe I will live somewhat like Haeng Seon and do some things differently from her.
Nam Haeng Seon and Choi Chi Yeol seem an unlikely but fitting pairing. Why do you think they are the right match for each other? Do you and actor Jung Kyung Ho also share similar differences in real life?
I believe it is because Haeng Seon and Chi Yeol came out to be admirable characters. I don’t know about Jung Kyung Ho and me, but I assume we have some parts alike.
Nam Haeng Seon is always seen putting others' feelings, well-being and opinions before her own. Do you think she has acquired this trait over time and how do you think people should or not do this in real life?
I believe you define your own happiness. One good thing about Haeng Seon is that she does not show off her sacrifice nor force others to acknowledge it. She just passionately continues on with her life. This makes her shine.
