“Good Doctor” Serial Interview Vol 1
Joo Won “The film set was filled with laughter and we all worked as a team”
Worries on portraying such anattractive character
~ “GoodDoctor” was written focusing warmly on the growth of an autistic young man who,as a doctor and also as a person, aimed to become a paediatrician with supportsfrom others. As much as we could see, the drama wouldn’t be thatsuccessful if it was without Joo Won who played the lead Park Si On and showcasedviewers his excellent acting skills. “SiOn is a very attractive character no matter which actor sees him. To prepare for acting, I watched many American movies for reference. Autism is curable. I only realized it now, many of them are almost like healthypeople. After meeting many autistic patients, I realized none of them arethe same. Because they are all different, I had big problems andwondered which reference I should use.”
~In the drama, there were so many complex medical jargons in every episode, Iguess you were worried. “Becausethose unfamiliar jargons are not normally used, even I had practiced, I stillgot stuck during filming and ended up with many retakes. However, staffunderstood it well. On top of the difficult terminology, articulatingthese medical jargons with Si On’s fast talking habit, somehow it seemedforgivable.”
~Joo Won also talked about the difficulty on the love line between Si On and hissenior Yoon Seo. “Itwas really very difficult. Chae Won noona who played Yoon Seo paired withme very well. She also felt affection for Si On. For me, Ijust loved with a child’s heart, the feelings which adults don’t have, I wonderif it is possible for a child. I put in so much effort to deliver“I love you” genuinely with a child’s heart."
~I guess while chatting with Moon Chae Won in film set, Si On and Yoon Seo builtup a good relationship. “Itseems Chae Won noona was fascinated by Si On’s character. The role wasgood. Yoon Seo treasured Si On a lot and loved him, I guess Chae Wonnoona herself was also like that. The love line between us was depictedand we broke the barrier, I remember we discussed with PD for a long timeduring filming for scene(s) which we didn’t have complete empathy."
~I heard co-stars and staff also got along well and the atmosphere was fun infilm set all the time. “Itwas really warm (laugh). Because it was a medical drama, awfullycomplicated situations were just inevitable during filming, starting from PD,not a single person got annoyed at all. Film set was always filledwith laughter, perhaps workmates in hospital were all in the same generation,atmosphere was very lively. All co-stars and staff worked asa team.”
~Looks like Joo Won also felt his growth in film set “Iwas really very worried about the character and also the success of thedrama. But once I started, somehow I sailed through it. Everytime when I finish a project, I have a thought and only feel “Once again I havefinished a single project smoothly”, this time I felt I gained self-confidenceeven it is just a little bit.”
