When we met you in a Bazaar interview two years ago, I recall you saying that you dream of a love where you will look at only one girl throughout your whole life like Tahwan in “Empress Ki”. Is that dream still valid?
It seems that way even more because I’m not such a romanticist in reality. Where on earth can there be such a person who can love unconditionally and sacrifice everything? Even when doing melodramatic acting, one is able to look at the script and imagine the same way as the audience and gain second-hand satisfaction. Although there are shows that are closer to reality, most shows are actually fantasy. Reality is such that it is difficult for your heart to open from the beginning, and when it does open, it shuts again because of a little thing. That’s why I seem to live while holding on to the dream that I will meet a destined person someday. We will either keep running into each other coincidentally, or taking a slight glance while walking past but not being able to forget (the person).
Ji Chang Wook explained, “My ideal woman would be someone who can make me feel comfortable, has a sense of humor similar to my own, and can hold interesting conversations. I think I fancy the cutesy type.” He couldn’t resist a shy smile as he confessed this.
