Actor Yoo Yun Suk held an interview with Star News in which he talked about how he could relate to his character Chilbong in 'Reply 1994.' Although Chilbong did not get the girl in the drama, the actor received a lot of attention and popularity from his excellent portrayal of the character.
Yoo Yun Suk said, "I don't think the image of Chilbong's unrequited love was bad . . . I think women are attracted to a man who only looks at his woman. This type of character gets a lot of sympathy and support so I like it," and then laughed.
He then talked about his own personal experiences that were similar to Chilbong's in the drama. Yoo Yun Suk stated, "I experienced one-sided loves and I confessed feelings that were not accepted. There was even a time I closed my heart off . . . I think I could greatly sympathize with Chilbong."

He was also asked who he wanted to be partnered up with on MBC's variety program 'We Got Married.' He chose Go Ara to be his fictional wife without hesitation, explaining, "The way I see it, since I did not end up with Na Jung (Go Ara's character) in the drama, it would be nice if we came together at least once even if it were through the fictional 'We Got Married.'"
Even in the end, Yoo Yun Suk thoughtfully considered his character and the drama's Chilbong fan base instead of providing his personal preference--or maybe they are the one and the same, after all. Would you like to see him and Go Ara on 'We Got Married'?
