He then added that he didn’t even look at the script before immediately accepting the role because of Kim Tae Hee.

As soon as I was offered the role, I told them I’d do it. I didn’t even look at the script.

Netizens who heard this responded in sympathy with comments such as “If I was offered a role to play Kim Tae Hee’s husband, I’d take it right away.”

In Hi Bye, Mama! , Lee Kyu Hyung played the husband of both Kim Tae Hee and Go Bo Gyul.

When asked who he would pick between Cha Yoo Ri and Oh Min Jung, Lee Kyu Hyung gave a sincere answer.

I wasn’t able to find an answer to that for the whole 5 months of filming. Having to choose just one is cruel.
