"'Lovely Runner' felt like looking into someone's diary. It was a precious time living as Im Sol from her teens to her 30s. It was a good experience, and I feel like I learned a lot from Sol."

Kim Hye-yoon highlighted the unique challenge of portraying a character with the inner self of a 30-year-old in her teens and the importance of adding nuances to showcase Sol's sophistication.
"I've played various teenage characters in different works, but Sol was the first character whose inner self was in her 30s while her appearance was in her teens. So, I tried to make her 30-year-old sophistication evident by adding nuances and using expressions that teenagers might not typically use."

Reflecting on her over a decade-long acting career, Kim Hye-yoon emphasized her strict approach to her craft, constantly striving for improvement and growth.

"I like my strict side. I always want to do my best in everything. By not forgetting the regrets of the past and making multiple attempts to do better next time, I believe I've been able to grow. Honestly, I haven't reached a point where I can say 'this is good enough,' but I hope that with more time and experience, I will. And if I can enjoy that moment, it would be even better."

Despite not feeling satisfied with her work yet, she aims to enjoy the journey and continue spreading positivity through her acting.

"If Seon-jae (played by Byun Woo-seok) had ended up never remembering Sol, she would probably be crying much more than what you saw on the show, spending her days in tears. I'm really glad for the current ending."

Regarding the ending of 'Lovely Runner,' Kim Hye-yoon appreciated the storyline and expressed gratitude for the character of Seon-jae, played by Byun Woo-seok. She also shared her plans to binge-watch the series in Bali, adding a touch of humor.
"Some people told me that my work has been a source of comfort to them. I'm not an extraordinary person, but being able to positively impact someone's life through my acting is truly meaningful. I hope to continue spreading good vibes and positive energy to many people through the 'ingredient' that is Kim Hye-yoon."
