He went on, "Maybe she decided to take on all (the action scenes) since she may not have the time to do so for a while. I didn't get a chance to talk with her on a personal level, so I wasn't even aware of her marriage."

Kim Young Kwang mentioned, "We had to quickly wrap up the second half of the drama, so there wasn't much time to talk. I found Lee Si Young noona's action scenes really cool. If I were in her shoes, I probably wouldn't be able to pull it off. She is truly amazing."

Lastly, the actor gave a congratulatory message to his costar. Kim Young Kwang is currently taking time off and is looking to star in his next movie.
