Bae Suzy Nam Joo Hyuk

It is about young entrepreneurs who work at their own start-up firms in Sandbox - a fictional Silicon Valley-inspired district - and mature and fall in love in the process.

Bae was part of the girl group Miss A and has appeared in series such as drama fantasy While You Were Sleeping (2017), while Nam's credits include the moving drama series The Light In Your Eyes (2019).

The 26-year-old says at a live-streamed press conference on Monday (Oct 12): It wasn't that big of a challenge for me to portray a nerd because being a nerd is part of who I am, actually.

I pulled out some of the nerdy qualities in me and imbued my character with it, like how in real life, when I get nervous in situations, I actually tremble.

In the series, Bae and Kang play rivals. Bae is Dal-mi, a woman with the ambition of becoming South Korea's Steve Jobs, and Kang is a rich heiress who also runs her own company.

Kang (Familiar Wife, 2018), 31, says with a laugh: Suzy is so lovable that it's difficult for me to bring my claws out with Dal-mi.

Bae, 26, adds: Han-na is so bubbly and we have a lot of fun on set, but because we still had to maintain a certain level of tension between our characters, there were times we could not help ourselves but break into laughter during filming.

While Kim (You Drive Me Crazy, 2018) is an actor, he is a cast member of the long-running outdoor variety series 2 Days & 1 Night (2007 to present), which he joined as a cast member last year (2019).

Kim, 34, who says his character in the series is the epitome of young, rich and successful adds that he hopes fans of 2 Days & 1 Night will not find it awkward watching him act.

He jokes about his differences from his straight-talking character: I don't think I'm as mean with my words to others, I talk about people behind their backs.

The cast reveals that for their roles as young people working in start-up firms, they looked at videos of successful young entrepreneurs for inspiration.

She says: The hair and make-up team suggested that she might look more suited to a short hairstyle so I went ahead and got it cut.

Bae Suzy And Nam Joo Hyuk To Star In New Drama Sandbox

While Director Oh Choong-hwan says the appeal of the series is its heartwarming story of growth and working hard for one's dreams, he gives himself a pat on the back for the casting of the central romantic couple Nam and Bae.*SPOILERS ALERT* We're just a few hours away from Start-Up Ep 15 and in a recent interview, Suzy revealed her favourite scene and favourite line from the popular tvN drama.

*SPOILERS ALERT* In a recently shared Instagram post, Suzy had posted a cute, pouty selfie with Nam Joo-hyuk, which was clicked before Seo Dal-mi and Nam Do-san's teary-eyed breakup sequence in Start-Up Ep 12. Recalling the breakup as her favourite scene in the popular tvN drama was the 26-year-old actress herself during an interview with Sports Seoul.

The heartbreaking sequence in question sees Dal-mi putting her feelings aside and breaking up with Do-san because she wants to see him achieve his dream of working at Silicon Valley under 2STO. While Suzy acknowledged that there are many greats scenes in Start-Up, the breakup moment, for her, was the most miserable and sad moment of Seo Dal-mi's life. According to Suzy,  Alex Kwon's (Jasper Cho) clear dismissal of Dal-mi's capabilities by disbanding Samsan Tech and only giving leeway to the developers made her realise her incompetence as a CEO as well as suffering the pain of losing her teammates.

Despite the loss of confidence and faith, she desperately wanted to help Nam Do-san achieve his dreams, which is why she said those harsh words to him, Suzy reasoned with Sports Seoul before adding, Just as there is no business that succeeds from the beginning, things didn’t go smoothly for Seo Dal-mi and Nam Do-san’s first relationship, and this was the scene where they cried heartbrokenly after their first breakup, via Soompi.

As for her favourite line from Start-Up, it takes place during Dal-mi's Ep 5 conversation with Jeong Sa-ha (Stephanie Lee): I've never regretted my decisions before. I tried my best to make that happen. While this showcases Dal-mi's firm conviction and philosophy, Suzy confessed that she really liked the dialogue because it seems like a line that explains Dal-mi.

I want to take after her in this way, but it means that if you take an action, you must make an effort to take responsibility for it, so I believe you’re supposed to have achieved something first, Suzy concluded.
