It took him four years to erase the trail of Goo Joon Pyo from "Boys Over Flowers," which aired in 2009.
In fact, the two characters, Goo Joon Pyo and Kim Tan, were both high school students and sons of millionaires, which could have yielded to the criticism, "Actor Lee Min Ho can only perform one type of role."
However, Lee Min Ho played the prince again as if this was the best role he could play. Lee Min Ho says he decided not to worry after contemplating about it for a long time.
"I was able to receive good results by acting and trusting the script writer and director. Kim Tan will be the last character I will play with a school uniform on. In the next work, I want to change into a 'bad guy.'"
When the reporter asked about the kiss scene where Park Shin Hye did not know he would actually kiss her, Lee Min Ho said he had to.
"Because that scene was a result of the two's strong emotions for each other, I had to kiss her for real. I felt bad that I did not let her know about the kiss in advance. Usually, I talk about these things with the actresses, but this must have come to Shin Hye as a surprising one, ecause it was a sudden, fiery kiss."
