Lee Sang Yee participated in an interview about the recently concluded hit drama "The Knot Once"! KBS2's "Once It's Over" aired its finale on September 13, achieving impressive ratings of 33.6% and 34.8% nationwide. In the play, Lee Sang-yeol plays Yoon Gyu-jin, who re-experiences love after divorcing Song Na-hee (Lee Min-jeong). The two shuttle back and forth between sadness and love, and Lee Sang-yeol and Lee Min-jeong have won the love of many people for their excellent chemistry.
Although Lee Sang-yeol usually creates roles while acting, Lee explains that this time he wants to create "Lee Sang-yeol's Yoon Gyu-jin". He explained this in detail, sharing: "I want to gradually integrate into my role. I wanted the fights in the play to come out like real-life fights, and I even wanted my breath and my sighs to be like myself. From the middle, I felt like my image really came out. I don't know if the screenwriter did it on purpose, but Yoon Kyu-jin's character's speaking style is very much in line with my own style.
Lee Sang-yeol also chose Lee Min-jeong as his best acting partner, saying that their experience as a husband and wife is very special. He commented on her husband, sharing: "It's not that I didn't realize that Lee Byung-hyun [watched me and Lee Min-jeong act], but I heard that he was very optimistic about our TV series." Because he's watching my acting skills, it's very attractive and an honor." He also said: "Through this TV series, I have experienced the process of illness, divorce, reconciliation. I want to paint a sober picture of our reconciliation. In this way, I naturally began to think about marriage. That's when I realized that the consideration you don't say is not a consideration at all.
At the end of "Married Once", all the characters have a happy ending, in which Lee Sang-yee shared: "I like this happy ending very much. All the characters have matured. Through "I Got Married Once", I also matured and had the opportunity to think about happiness. I think this TV series really shows the people inside very well. While our actors act well, I'm sure our screenwriters also write well.
At the beginning of this year, Lee Sang-yee starred in SBS's "Good Casting" and KBS's "Knotted Once". He commented: "I don't know if this is possible, or if it is allowed. The audience may confuse Yoon Gyu-jin with Yoon Seok-ho, and they are both my acting skills, and I worry that they will not see them as the same. However, I am very pleased to see that Yin Kuizhen and Yin Xihao are both separate and positive.
Having spent the first three quarters of 2020 very busy, Lee Sang-ye revealed that he needed to recharge and felt that he had exhausted as an actor. He shared: "I've been thinking about what I should fill with. These days, I've been resting and slowly looking at my face again. I feel like I need to change.
Lee Sang-yeol debuted in the KBS TV series "Happy Woman" in 2007, and this year is his 14th year as an actor. He confessed that when he wasn't famous, he considered himself an actor who couldn't provide happiness. Although he has now fulfilled his wish as an actor, he revealed that he will still experience a low ebb. Because he's never been happy with himself, he thinks that's why he's been able to be as strong as he is today.
He added: "I feel like I haven't taken a break and have been acting, which is good. I'm quite proud that I didn't give up. I feel like the endorphins I felt on set have become my motivation. In addition, I also comfort myself with the sense of accomplishment in acting. I do believe I enjoyed the time, but I've been overcoming the lows.
