Actress Jo Bo-ah recently shared her admiration for co-star Kim Jae-wook during an appearance on the YouTube talk show Narae’s Table. The episode, released on May 7, featured Jo Bo-ah promoting her upcoming Netflix drama Dear Hongrang, set to premiere on May 16. Her heartfelt comments about Kim Jae-wook’s looks and personality quickly became a hot topic among fans.
Jo Bo-ah didn’t hold back when describing her co-stars. She compared Jung Ga-ram’s eyes to those of a gentle deer, perfect for romantic scenes, and called Lee Jae-wook a “tsundere” like a loyal Jindo dog. But her highest praise was reserved for Kim Jae-wook, who plays a key role in Dear Hongrang.
“The director originally asked Kim Jae-wook oppa for just a cameo,” she revealed. “But he kept coming back for more scenes. We ended up requesting additional filming because his presence was so impactful. I’m truly grateful.”
When host Park Na-rae asked what makes Kim Jae-wook so captivating, Jo Bo-ah responded enthusiastically. “Isn’t he incredibly attractive? If the word ‘sexy’ were a person, it would be Jae-wook oppa. Beyond his looks, his character is amazing too.”
Jo Bo-ah also reflected on her past collaboration with Lee Dong-wook in Tale of the Nine Tailed, admitting she initially misunderstood his reserved nature. “At first, I wondered if he was upset with me. But it takes time to see his true, warm self.”
Dear Hongrang marks Jo Bo-ah’s return after the delay of her Disney+ project Knock-Off, which was postponed due to co-star Kim Soo-hyun’s controversy. Fans are eagerly awaiting her performance in this historical mystery romance.
Kim Jae-wook, known for his roles in Her Private Life and The Guest, recently made headlines for paying tribute to late Japanese actress Miho Nakayama, his co-star in Butterfly Sleep. His emotional Instagram post honored their time working together.
Jo Bo-ah’s appearance on Narae’s Table has boosted excitement for Dear Hongrang. The show’s mix of mystery and romance, combined with her chemistry with the cast, promises an engaging watch.
