Actress Chae Soo-bin recently expressed her great satisfaction with her romantic chemistry alongside co-star Kim Young-kwang.
On the afternoon of the 15th, an interview with Chae Soo-bin, the lead star of the Netflix original series ‘Charge Me’, was held at a cafe in Samcheong-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul. Based on a web novel of the same name, ‘Charge Me’ is a thrilling romantic comedy about a man whose artificial heart battery is depleted and a woman with electrical powers. Chae Soo-bin plays Na Bo-bae, a drama writer who forms a romantic bond with Baek Ho-rang, a third-generation chaebol played by Kim Young-kwang.
Previously, Kim Young-kwang mentioned in an interview that whenever he struggled with cringeworthy lines, Chae Soo-bin would cheer him on and tell him it was okay. In response, Chae Soo-bin shared, “Since oppa [Young-kwang] came straight from genre dramas and was having a hard time, not only me but the director and staff cheered him on with one heart, saying ‘You’re doing great.’ It was a lot of fun. He does his cute moments really well, even right before the cameras roll.”
Reflecting on her character and the romantic genre, she added, “Since I’ve consistently done romance dramas, I think I’ve gained a bit of immunity. In romance, the male lead’s lines are much higher in difficulty than the female lead’s because it’s up to the male lead to make female viewers’ hearts flutter. I just received what was given to me well.” She also noted that Bo-bae was such an endearing character that she didn’t have to force anything or try too hard.
Speaking about their height difference and physical chemistry, Chae Soo-bin smiled as she said, “Oppa is a model and is very tall. Even though I’m not short myself, standing next to him creates a cute, petite charm. The physical chemistry and visual harmony were really great. Acting with him was also hilarious. At first, I thought, ‘What’s with this stiff guy?’ but once we got close, he’s genuinely funny.”>
When asked to rate their romantic chemistry, Chae Soo-bin didn’t hesitate to give it “100 out of 10 points,” expressing deep affection for the project and their characters.
