Fantasy and thriller genres must constantly persuade the public about our characters and worldview. The process is not easy. “I wanted to play a character that anyone could see and understand,” he said, revealing the reason he chose the romance genre.

Lee Dong-wook’s ‘Single in Seoul’ When Youngho was young, he was like a brat and had some boring relationships. When asked about his actual dating style, Lee Dong-wook said, “I don’t think he was like a pushover.”I think I was the type to say what I had to say. What I want to say to the other person is, ‘You’re funny’ “There must have been many times when I thought about it,” he recalled.

He continued, “Isn’t that why dating is so difficult? Neither I am right nor the other person is right. Now that I’m in my 40s, isn’t it more difficult? “In the past, if I had feelings for you, I would approach you first, but now I’m shrinking,” he said.

“I always confessed first. Lee Dong-wook said, “I thought it would be shameful to make a woman confess,”and showed a cautious stance on revealing his past romantic history.

Lee Dong-wook said, “Don’t you often talk about your past lovers in episodes? It’s a personal opinion, but I don’t think it’s polite to talk about my past love life so openly.
