"I enjoy acting with sunbaenim. We got close after shooting that particular scene. I learned a lot from watching Kim Won Hae sunbaenim act even in comical situations."

When asked what was the best thing he had done in 2017, Lee Jong Suk answered, "Opening up a cafe. It was a startup business. Even if I don't have anything planned, I frequent cafes as soon as I wake up.  Since I didn't have any interests besides acting, it was quite new to me."

As for his future plans in 2018, he mentioned, "In the past, I had the tendency to choose projects that had a strong foundation and deeper meaning behind it. However, this year, I would like to take on romantic-comedies or melodramas; something on a lighter scale."
