Lee Se-young: When I read the script, I felt that the characters were very attractive. When I heard that I was going to appear, I became even more excited.”

Kim Jeong-ho quits the prosecutor's office for some reason and lives as the owner of the building. Lawyer Kim Yu-ri, who retired from a leading law firm, opens a “law (LAW) cafe” in the building he owns. This change was skillfully expressed by Lee Seung Gi and Lee Se Young, who became his second co-star.

Lee Se-young: Seung-gi played the role of Kim Jung-ho was a big decisive factor for the appearance. I thought that I would like to work with him again.

Lee Se-young ``When I read the script, I felt that the character was very attractive. Also,

Lee Seung Gi "Thank you Seyoung. The previous work was a big hit, and in my case it is the first time in a long time that I have created an everyday and interesting work.

It was a work where you can see the appearance of Lee Seung-gi, who was in his life, with heavy content such as action masterpieces and crime suspense. It's the same with Lee Se-young, who was in the previous historical drama. However, he felt that the title was a little unusual.

Lee Se-young: "At first, I was unfamiliar with him, and he didn't know what it meant, but he seems to have gotten used to it. Yuri is the type of person who follows the rules, so I thought that even in love, it was about her who said, "According to the law, legally." What kind of impression did Seunggi get?”

Lee Seung Gi "Many people will watch. I think it's a catchy title. When I see the title, I'm curious about the content "is not it"

Lee Se-young, "It's about law and love. You can imagine it."

Lee Seung-gi, How Law and Love Combine. It arouses my curiosity. hey. I think it's a good title." The two who met again collided with each other

They also communicate with each other. I learned about each character and what they have in common with me.

Lee Seung Gi First of all, Jongho is the kind of person that I wish I had in my daily life, or if I could have someone like this as my husband or lover. Like a tsundere, he has a certain charm, but he's not a masculine tsundere, he's legally smart, rational, and rational. It is attractive that he takes care of the hot-hearted lawyer Yuri and backs him up.

Lee Se-young: "In the script, Yuri was said to be a person who wore 'a flashy patterned costume and red nails.' When meeting a lawyer, he hides his weakness and goes into battle armed.

I was taught that it meant something, so I pretended to be that way. When it comes to love, I feel that Jongho is surprisingly more pure and passionate, and Yuri is more realistic."

Lee Seung-gi: At first, I thought that Jong-ho was not like me, but as I played him, I realized that there were some similarities in his way of thinking and speaking. However, unlike Jongho, I have a bad memory (laughs).

Lee Se-young ``But we are very similar in sharpness. At work, I act more according to principles than at work, but I am rational and calm at work, so that may be different. I think we are very similar in terms of passion.”

Along with the existence of the familiar law transmitted through the drama.

What kind of preparation did you do to play such a character who has things in common but also differences? There must have been difficulties unique to legal dramas.

Lee Se-young “I studied legal matters first. It was very helpful to me. There are a lot of services that are supported by the organization, and while reading the script and acting, I strongly felt that it was closer to me than I thought and that I could ask for help. ”

Lee Se Young's " Love me according to the rules" is here!

She has a strong sense of justice, and the way Yuri fights recklessly and recklessly without forgiving any crookedness is very well-received. She falls in love with Jongho, but at first she doesn't realize how she feels. However, once she realized that she was in love, she expressed her thoughts in a straight line, and she couldn't help but applaud the scene where she kissed him. Because she is beautiful, she feels like she can forgive anything.

Lee Seung-gi “Laws seem to be something that has nothing to do with us. At times like these, I worry about where and what kind of advice I should get, and sometimes I get scared, but I'm going to show you how the drama can solve it, and I think you'll all be able to empathize with it. increase"

Favorite scene inspired by the other person's performance

They not only solve the problems of the cafe's visitors, but also explore the background of Yuri's father's accidental death. The sweet scenes that the two showed in the process became a hot topic, and they asked what kind of scenes remained in their hearts.

Lee Seung Gi “There is a scene in the middle where Jongho gets punched and Yuri gets injured in a car accident. Both were scenes in which I was able to express feelings and situations that were not written in the script.

There weren't many scenes where Lee Se Young expressed the depth of her emotions and her true feelings to each other."

Lee Seung Gi “Because we also have to solve the case, I think there were surprisingly few scenes where we were immersed in deep emotions. It's my turn scene, so it's a scene I personally like very much."

Lee Se-young: To be honest, when I read the script, I felt it was more casual. I feel like my emotions are more overflowing, and I like that sea."

“What we want to convey through this drama is that no matter what kind of trouble or pain you have, if you have friends and family on your side, you can get through it.

Lee Se Young "I tried my best to make it an interesting work. Please watch till the end and support me!"

Lee Seung Gi's "Love according to the rules" is here!

Although she ostensibly keeps Yuri at a distance, in reality, Jong-ho, who has been in love with her for a long time and watches over her, cares for her. It is heart-warming to see Yuri, who has fallen asleep in her desk while she is working, looking at her with affectionate eyes. The scene where Jongho, who usually suppresses her emotions, explodes his feelings for her is the best. The way she helps her with her sharp mind is irresistible.
