“If I concentrate and immerse myself deeply into a situation, I become overwhelmed with feelings that I didn't know I had.”
Did you look for people’s reactions online when Extraordinary Attorney Woo was airing?
To be honest, I did get curious, but I didn't specifically search for feedback. Filming continued even after the pre-production and after each episode was aired, but I unconsciously became conscious of people's responses. However, whether it was good or bad feedback, I can't concentrate if I act on those comments.
Were you hurt by some of the reactions?
I didn't think I would be. I used to think: “Why would I get hurt by comments?” But when I had to face all the gossip, I did get affected. Even if I received a hundred compliments, I'd still get hurt over one negative comment. I once saw a comment that said: “How can an actor like that get to be the male lead?” When I see comments like that, I start pressing the ‘dislike’ button. I'd rage and wonder: “Who pressed ‘like’ on this comment?!” (laughs)
