In contrast to the audience's love for "The rotten Moon River" - the work that Kang Tae Oh starred in with Kim Se Jeong just finished last weekend with a rating of 6.8%, his previous project - " Potato Research Institute", co-starring with Lee Sun Bin received mixed reviews.
The reason is because the plot is old, overusing humorous details, building a noisy female lead personality. This is also the reason why, although Kang Tae Oh's film returned after his military discharge, its performance was quite bleak, achieving the highest rating of only 2%, even though it aired in the weekend schedule.
Speaking about this, Kang Tae Oh said that for him experience is more important than rating. This is a project that shows me how lucky I am to have great colleagues. The process is more important than the result, and it has helped me mature.
Previously, the actor said that he felt the warmth and healing from the first time reading the script, so he hoped the audience would be able to see many beautiful scenes and enjoy happy moments in front of the screen.
As for Fate of the Moon Song, Kang Tae Oh said he was attracted to the title, plot, and soul-swapping elements. To convincingly show the exchanges, the male star and his co-star carefully observed each other's acting and often exchanged.
They even call, text, record lines and send them to the other person on days when there is no filming schedule. Thanks to that, on screen, in addition to the handsome appearance of the couple, the "compatible chemistry" between Kang Tae Oh and Kim Se Jeong is also a plus point, helping the film receive the attention of the audience in the second leg.
Before compliments for being a "heavyweight" candidate for the Best Couple Award at this year's MBC Drama Awards, Kang Tae Oh said he was happy to be nominated, but did not want to be complacent.
The actor is also grateful that the audience has shown affection for Yi Kang and Dal Yi, and highly appreciates his co-star as enthusiastic, dynamic, and dedicated to work and the character. Thanks to working with Kim Se Jeong, Kang Tae Oh learned many things.
