When asked where she gets her inspiration when studying her character, a question submitted by actress Shim Eun Kyung, Kim Ji Won answered, “I get a lot of inspiration from dramas and films I watch before filming. I like being home, so I watch dramas and movies, and have a lot of time to think.”

Kim Myung Min and Oh Dal Soo were her co-stars in this upcoming film, and Kim Ji Won expressed her respect and admiration for them by describing them as “seniors I want to learn from.” The actress added, “They were attentive and came early to the set to check their positions. They also took good care of the staff and were very considerate. They gave me endless love so I’m thankful to them.”

When asked about her ideal type, Kim Ji Won revealed, “I don’t have a particular ideal type, but I would like someone who is warm and considerate of others.”

She thanked viewers for giving her over a million hearts during the broadcast and said, “As an actor, I think I need to develop my strengths as an actor. Thank you and I will work hard to show you good things.”
