Actor Kim Young-kwang, 39, praised co-star Chae Soo-bin in an interview about the Netflix series 'Charge Me' on October 15, according to Sports Chosun. He said she looks small and cute but turned out to be a deeply thoughtful actor. He also discussed the show's intimate scenes.

What did Kim Young-kwang say about Chae Soo-bin?

Kim said it was his first time working with Chae and that she receives a scene partner well. According to Sports Chosun, he said she responds smoothly when he acts shy or jokes around, and that she copes well with improvised ad-libs on set.

He called her cute and said that charm comes across naturally on screen. He also said her hairstyle suited the role, and that this helps make the show's electrical powers feel believable.

The bigger surprise, he said, was her inner depth. Kim described Chae as an actor who wants to portray acting realistically and has a lot of ambition, adding that she is much deeper than her appearance suggests.

What did he say about the intimate scenes?

Kim said this is the project with the most skinship scenes in his filmography. He said he and director Park Soo-won discussed how far to take the level of intimacy.

According to the interview, the two approached the romance in stages, since growing closer is the central point of the story. Kim said he tried to show moments where the couple keep drawing near even after falling in love, when charging is no longer required.

What is 'Charge Me' about?

'Charge Me' is a romantic comedy about a man whose artificial-heart battery has run out and a woman with electrical powers. It is based on a web novel of the same name by author Haebeon.
