She began by saying, "The script was engaging, reading smoothly from beginning to end."Ryu Hye-young continued, "Yeon-woo was a character I couldn't help but be ambitious about as an actress.

Ryu Hye-young, who plays her, shared, "I focused on trying to express the desperate emotions well when faced with a situation while carrying the character's guilt and hesitation."In this work, we can also see Ryu Hye-young's rough and raw action scenes. Regarding this, she honestly confessed, "I've always had a desperation for action acting, but I felt my stamina was lacking.

It felt eerie even when I was just standing still."So, how was his chemistry with Ryu Hye-young, whom he met for the first time in 'Killing Time'?
