Regarding his resemblance to child actor Kwak Dong-yeon, Kim Hyun Joong said, 'A lot of people said my acting skills have improved after watching the child actor's performance (in the first 4 episodes). But I remained quiet about it. The reason for that is because we look alike. Even his mother couldn't differentiate us judging from our side face. Because he took on the role in the childhood episodes, viewers don't seem to realise the different after the transition to the adult episodes.'
Kim Hyun Joong, 'I always put in my best effort. Compared to previously, it seemed I have improved. I think it's better to have fun at the same time while filming. While having the conscious that I/we are actually acting, I think it's easier to grasp the character if we think ourselves as that person/character living in that era. I wanted to work hard on my acting skills and have fun filming too.'
Kim Sung-O, 'It's the first time I challenge such as action-studded drama so it's difficult to memorise the actions but Hyun Joong seemed to be able to memorise them easily. Memorising the movements is different from memorising the script lines. I find it difficult but Hyun Joong is good in it. It seemed like he is very clever. I envy him'
Kim Hyun Joong, 'There is a scene where I removed all my clothes leaving only my underpants. It will be broadcasted this week. As for the rest, I'll leave it for the viewer's imagination. I made a promise with the director that this is the last time I reveal my body. I remember director said it'll be actress's turn next time'.
KHJ was asked what is the colour of the briefs and he said, 'If the colour is aired as well, the drama will be rated as 19+. So I’ll leave it to the viewer’s imagination. The scene was filmed carefully behind a blind. It was the briefs that I usually wear. And director said it will be female actress’ turn next time to ‘expose’’.
Given the title as 'Sirasoni' for his character as Shin Jung-taein the drama, Hyun Joong was asked whether will he (as KHJ himself) win against Yoon Hyung-bin.
He said, 'If I were to fight with Yoon Hyung-bin, it feels like I will lose in the fight.'
Continuing being questioned if his character, Shin Jung-tae, was to battle against with Yoon Hyung-bin, Hyun Joong answered, 'Wouldn't Sirasoni win? Don't you think Sirasoni last time is up to par to the standard with the present-day's UFC fighter, Fedor Vladimirovich Emelianenko?
