Veteran actor Jang Dong Gun, currently awaiting the premiere of his new KBS2 drama 'Suits', showered his young co-star Hyungsik with compliments in a recent interview.

'Suits' is a Korean remake of the popular American series of the same name. Jang Dong Gun said about participating in the remake series, "I hadn't seen the original series before, but I watched it after I accepted the role. It was really good. But I thought if I kept watching it, I would start following them so I stopped after episode 6, season 1. American drama characters tend to have a lot of gestures, which can look too dramatic in Korea, so I am trying to match the sentiment as much as I can in my own way." 

To questions about his co-star Hyungsik, playing the role of his partner lawyer, Jang Dong Gun complimented, "I like him. We have a big age gap, but it doesn't really show and we're comfortable. We have a lot of scenes of us going at each other back and forth, so after a few of those we became friends quickly... He has great proportions, he's handsome, he's manly, he has a lot of great qualities overall. He's good at acting too." 

Jang Dong Gun x Hyunsik's Korean remake of 'Suits' is set to premiere on KBS2 this April 25. Before then, you can catch the two characters' individual teasers, below.
