Record of Youth star Byun Woo Seok REVEALS why he's more similar to Park Bo Gum's character than his own
Byun Woo-seok revealed in an interview as to why he finds himself more similar to Park Bo-gum's character than his own in Record of Youth.
Byun Woo-seok is surely winning hearts with his slice of life act as Won Hae-hyo in Record of Youth. The tvN drama has been seeing steady growth in the ratings game as viewers are loving the 'fight for your dreams' storyline while having second lead syndrome thanks to Woo-seok's earnest performance. Speaking of his character, does Woo-seok relate to Hae-hyo in real life?
During a candid interview with Elle Korea, the question was posed at Woo-seok as to which Record of Youth character is the most similar to his own youth. Given that Hae-hyo was born with a silver spoon and although he wants to achieve success on his own accord, he can always receive help from his rich family if he needed it. In real life, however, Woo-seok didn't have a similar kind of experience. The 28-year-old actor rather finds himself similar to Park Bo-gum's character Sa Hye-joon.
"To be honest, I started off on my own at the very bottom. I'm similar to Bo-gum's character Sa Hye-joon. I’m like him in a lot of ways, such as my background, growth process, and thoughts. So in my scenes with Hye-joon, I was able to understand him more. I even felt like I was facing myself," the Flower Crew: Joseon Marriage Agency star confessed.

Moreover, commenting on how Record of Youth's writer Ha Myung-hee had revealed that when she first met Woo-seok, she felt like Hae-hyo was walking into the room, the actor revealed to Elle Korea that Myung-hee felt he looked confident. The actor wasn't sure why as they didn't have any special conversation when he met her. "She asked about things you might naturally be curious about at a first meeting... like about my life, and what I like," Woo-seok recalled.
Record of Youth Ep 9 comes out on Monday, i.e. October 5.
