Brewing Love star Kim Se Jeong has shared her thoughts about working with actor Lee Jong Won in the ENA drama. The actress said she was hooked on the co-star from their first meeting because of his charming personality. Se Jeong explained the similarities between Jong Won and brewmaster Yoon Min Ju. According to her, she did not notice much difference between the actor and the male lead in the mini-series.
Se Jeong said Jong Won is a caring person, like Min Ju. She said the actor was like his onscreen character, the way her co-star walks, talks, and interacts with the people on set. Additionally, his knowledge, personality, and charm attracted her to him.
“I was pretty much hooked from the first time we met. Right from the start, I thought, he’s Min Ju! The way he talked was like Min Ju. Do you know how you can get drawn into a character when they’re charming? That’s what happened here. I found Min Ju charming. He was just like that in real life. The more we filmed—the more his knowledge, his personality, and his way of life just seemed like Min Ju’s. So, honestly, I was pretty much hooked from the first time we met,” Se Jeong said.
