After the drama "Love Next Door" ended its broadcast journey with the highest rating of 8.5% last weekend, Kim Ji Eun had a conversation with the media about the drama.
Taking on the role of Jung Mo Eum - a passionate 119 ambulance worker, the actress was praised for her clear portrayal of the character's strong personality, bravery as well as sincere friendship with Choi Seung Hyo (Jung Hae In) and Bae Seok Ryu (Jung So Min).
Along with that, the sweet love story between Mo Eum and social reporter Kang Dan Ho (Yoon Ji On) also brings the audience many memorable emotions.
According to Korean newspapers, the friendship of the actors in the film received much attention because of their good "chemistry". In fact, the relationship between Jung Hae In and Jung So Min was so close that they were rumored to be "fake love, real love".
Talking about the rumors of her co-star, Kim Ji Eun frankly said, "When I heard about the dating rumors, I thought Jung Hae In was kind and caring towards everyone, while Jung So Min responded with full energy.
Their chemistry was great, and I think the audience saw how well they got along. But when I heard it, I knew it wasn't true. The rumor probably started because their on-screen chemistry was so intense."
Previously, Jung So Min herself also spoke up to correct: "The most important thing for actors is to create a great movie together. That's my job.
It's not true that I'm in a romantic relationship. It's just that our "chemistry" is really good, so I'm grateful that people are thinking positively in that direction."
According to Kim Ji Eun, the reason she did not have to face similar rumors with her co-star Yoon Ji On is because he is a quiet and reserved person.
"Yoon Ji On's personality is even more quiet than his character Kang Dan Ho. He only opens up when he is very close to someone. Yoon Ji On is not the type of person to show affection to everyone.
I noticed his kind side, but I guess other people don't see it as much. However, Ji On is extremely thoughtful. When he found out I was filming a historical drama, he even gave me vitamins."
