“All of us had a really great time filming this drama. The five main cast members were very comfortable with each other and it felt like a really interesting experience,” said Seo, who plays the rising superstar Cha Young-bin.
“A lot of filming took place in Busan and so we would tour around the area, visit the beaches there and go out for drinks together. Even though the filming (of the drama) had ended, we would still gather together for a beer and watch the broadcast!”
Co-star Lee echoed Seo’s thoughts, added that they even played games that caused him to catch a cold! “We played games that came with punishments. For one of the punishments during a really rainy day in Busan, I had to stand out in the rain for 5 mins without an umbrella…. and I caught a could after that,” revealed Lee.
Seo rose to fame with ‘Cheese in the Trap’ where he played a talented pianist Baek In-Ho. For ‘Entourage’, the 23-year-old actor hopes to ‘break that image’ of the character Baek.
Seo shared: “Entourage is an original US drama, and the challenge is to make the Korean version as interesting as the original because the setting of the show now is in Korea and not in the U.S. I really wanted to make sure that I was able to create the original feeling of Entourage come alive.”
Entourage airs on tvN, every Monday and Tuesday, at 9:15 pm. tvN is available on Singtel TV 518 (HD) / Channel 619 (HD) StarHub TV Channel 824 (HD).
