Many people probably wonder, "Why didn't actor Lee Min Ho film a lot of movies and dramas previous to 'The Heirs?'"

Lee Min Ho in an interview shared why he did not make a lot of films and dramas, sharing that he thinks he is a type of actor who likes to spend a lot of preparation time before filming a movie or drama.

"Once I decide to work on a film or drama, I need two to three months of preparation. During this time, I analyze the character based on the scripts and sketch in my head how to act the character. After the preparation the filming starts, and the whole process takes about four to five months. In addition, I need another two to three months after the filming ends and the drama airs to get out of my role in the drama. When you calculate all this time, I think it is appropriate to do one drama per year (laughs)."

For the fans of Lee Min Ho from his most recent drama "The Heirs," this is an unfortunate news, since they are expecting to see him in another drama or film.

"I too want to appear in a lot of films and dramas like other actors. This thought came to me especially during my recent trip to China. Meeting a lot of fans from abroad who like me and watch me in drama made me realize that doing one drama per year is not the way to give back to the encouragements and love of the fans," Lee Min Ho said.

Lee Min Ho added that in 2014, he plans to shorten the time that takes for him to prepare for acting and meet the fans in various dramas.
