Il-joong : Today we meet the undeniably attractive So Ji-sup, star of the new midweek drama,

Caption  : So Ji-sub plays the role of “Joo Joong-won” Gong Hyo-jin plays “Tae Gong-sil” Il-joong and the lovely Gong Hyo-jin,

Caption : Seo In-guk appears as ‘Kang-woo’, with Kim Yoo-ri as Tae Yi-ryung Il-joong alongside co-stars Seo In-guk and Kim Yoo-ri. These four heartthrobs have joined forces to form one star-studded cast. And the project’s name is “The Master’s Sun”.

Caption : “The Master’s Sun” is a RomCom horror series that sees the teaming-up of a stingy, spoiled and self-centered company director with a gloomy and tearful medium to set the souls of hideous yet tragic ghosts to rest

Il-joong : Gong Hyo-jin’s character wakes up one day to discover that she can see spirits. And the character of So Ji-sup also appears before her out of nowhere. From that point on, the story that unfolds  is equal parts sweet and gruesome.

Reporter  : Ah, it looks like a lot of fun.

Il-joong : We’ve gathered the four main stars together in one place.

Caption : Our hilarious interview with the cast of “The Master’s Sun” starts now...

Il-joong : Hello, everyone.

Cast : Hello.

Il-joong : What were your first impressions of each other?

Caption : First Impressions?

Ji-sub : Well, it was the first time I’d worked with Hyo-jin,

Caption : So Ji-sub says Hyo-jin is just as sweet in real life as her character

Ji-sub : but she’s just as sweet and lovely as she comes across on camera.

Il-joong : And what about Ji-sub himself?

Hyo-jin : I noticed his long legs.

Caption : Hyo-jin noticed Ji-sub’s long legs

Il-joong : You noticed his legs?

Caption : Hyo-jin’s short answer about Ji-sub’s long legs

Hyo-jin :  I was surprised, the first time I saw him.

Il-joong : Oh, really?

Hyo-jin : I wondered “How a pair of legs be so long?”

Ji-sub : I’d pulled up the waistband, you see.

Il-joong : Ah, granddad pants, was it?

Caption : He’d hiked up his pants to make his legs look longer

Il-joong : The drama has quite an unusual name, does it have a special meaning?

Caption : What’s the meaning of “The Master’s Sun”?

Ji-sub : Well, it comes from the first letters of our characters’ names.

Caption : “Joo” also means “Master”

Caption : “Tae” comes from “Sun”

Ji-sub : Master, Sun. She had to give up a lot of her femininity to play this role.

Caption : Has Gong Hyo-jin played down her femininity to play the part of “Sun”?

Ji-sub : Between her clothes and her make-up and her hair, she had to make a lot of sacrifices to create a homely character.

Hyo-jin : I was always getting in trouble, people kept telling me to wash my hair.

Caption : Within the drama, the character of Master constantly nags Sun to wash her hair

Hyo-jin : “The Master” is always telling Sun to wash her hair.

Il-joong  : Ah, you mean in the drama, not in real life?

Caption : It probably happened in real life too, since she was so absorbed in her role

Ji-sub : It probably happened in real life as well.

Ji-sub : Because she gets so carried away.

Hyo-jin : I get carried away?

Caption : “Are you saying I don’t wash my hair?!”

Il-joong : One thing that sets “The Master’s Sun” apart is its status as a Romantic-Comedy-Horror. This new blend of romantic comedy with the suspense aspects of horror, the mixture of light-hearted fun and unexpected moments of terror, make this an entirely new and addictive genre of drama.

Caption : Tip for Understanding “The Master’s Sun”! Whenever Gong-sil (Sun) touches the Master (Joong-won), she can no longer see ghosts. The result is a new dramatic genre: RoCo Horror!

Il-joong : Do any of the four of you believe in ghosts?

Caption : Any believers amongst you?

In-guk : I think I do.

Caption : Seo In-guk / “Kang-woo” “I think I believe in ghosts”

In-guk : For example, if you imagine a hill with a lot of trees on it, I wouldn’t be able to get to the top for fear that something would jump out at me.

Ji-sub : I have a sort-of similar thing. I really don’t like balloons. I’m scared they’ll explode.

Caption Fear of balloons = ‘globophobia’

Ji-sub : Things with sharp edges stand out, and it feels quite threatening.

Il-joong : In that case, you might have to do something about that nose...

Caption : If you don’t like sharp objects, what about your nose? Kim Il-joong’s pointed question

Ji-sub : Ah, you couldn’t let that one go, could you?

Il-joong : Ji-sub, your character is quite an abrasive  plutocrat,

Caption : Is Ji-sub as hard to handle as his character?

Il-joong : do you resemble him in real life?

Ji-sub : No, not at all.

Hyo-jin : He’s a really nice guy in real life. He doesn’t really get angry, Although, are you sure you don’t suffer from road rage.  when we can’t see you?

Ji-sub : No, I don’t.

Hyo-jin : There are a lot of people like that.

Caption : The Ji-sub that we see before us has a heart of gold, but what about when he’s behind the wheel?

Hyo-jin : Stylists are a bit like that - if there are no actors around, they can be quite...

Caption : Hyo-jin Dishes the Dirt When there are no actors around, stylists turn into Divas!

Il-joong  : But you’re alright?

Ji-sub :  I don’t really get angry. I don’t really like it when people get angry and shout.

Caption : Quiet-man So Ji-sub is not quick to anger and doesn’t like it when people shout

Il-joong : Ah, you don’t like it when people shout?

Ji-sub : I’ve told this story a lot, but when I first came out...

Caption : Hyo-jin starts to laugh...   What’s funny?

Il-joong : What? Hyo-jin, what’s so funny?

Yoo-ri : Yes, but it’s all on my part.

Il-joong : Ah, so she doesn’t respond... Is there anything that you envy about Hyo-jin in real life?

Caption : Does Yoo-ri feel envious in real life?

Yoo-ri : Actually, I’ve never told anyone this, but Hyo-jin is someone I’ve really wanted to work with for a long time.
