Actor Im Joo Hwan chose SBS’s daily drama ‘Ugly Alert’ as his comeback project after getting discharged from the army and as an actor, he gained a significant amount of experience from it. Meanwhile, from not being able to land a lead role, to eventually leading the drama, to filming under the ‘live-shoot’ system compared to a pre filmed production, he was able to safely complete filming.  Shin PD’s continuous support also gave him great strength.
However Im Joo Hwan said “After the show ended, I still couldn’t relax.”
Seeing how he has successfully completed such arduous filming, it seems as if he will be able easily handle any circumstance in his future projects.
On the morning of this month on the 6th, we met up with Im Joo Hwan who shared a lot about ‘Ugly Alert’.

“<Ugly Alert>’s Gong Joon Soo was a really selfish character.”
SBS’s daily drama <Ugly Alert> ended happily with 133 episodes and the curtain has finally come down. Im Joo Hwan sat down face to face with the reporter whilst carrying a genial smile. Even though the drama ran on a tiring schedule, he appeared with a bright image.
For around 7 months, Im Joo Hwan lived as Gong Joon Soo, the ‘nice guy’. As his nice character was the lead of the drama, it held an unusual meaning for him. To the ending of the drama, he shared his thoughts. “As it ended well, I feel satisfied and happy but there’s also this bitter feeling. I still have things to say and feelings to express such as  “did I miss anything?’ ‘did I lack at anything?” and other feelings.”

SBS’s daily drama <Ugly Alert> (Writer Jung Ji Woo, Director Shin Yoon Sub & Min Yeon Hong) which ended last month on the 29th, was stuck in between MBC’s “Princess Aurora” and KBS2’s “Ruby’s Ring”, dramas with the more conventional makjang elements, but stood out to rise as a ‘nice drama’. Although there were no  ‘exciting elements’ (aka: typical makjang elements), the message of forgiveness and reconciliation was shown. The drama’s main character ‘Gong Joon Soo’ who was played by Im Joo Hwan is here today.

[Picture caption] : “While my previous projects can be said to have ‘strengthened’ my foundation, through”Ugly Alert’ it is as if I have raised several “pillars” and I feel good about that.
“If I were to say that my acting career started when I followed my friend and entered the drama club in high school, then ‘Ugly Alert’ would be my second starting point.”  That’s because I learnt altogether what the heart, love and family meant to someone. Through this drama, I grew as a person.”

★Question
1. If they made any plans in 2013.
2.  If they had plans  in 2013 that they couldn’t achieve and feel regretful about.
3. “These are my 2014 New Years resolutions that I will definitely fulfill”
 ★임주환
1. After getting discharged, my goal was to quickly find a project to do and I had the chance to star in <Ugly Alert> , so to some extent my plan was achieved. In exchange though, I didn’t have any personal time. Now that I don’t have any wishes to fulfill, I’m going to be sleeping (laughs). Because I know that time’s nearly up, my goals for  2013 probably won’t be achieved.
