Former SF9 Member Rowoon Talks About His New Drama

The new stills from “The Matchmakers” were shared by KBS2 along with an interview with the show’s lead star. In the interview, Rowoon revealed that he was drawn to the new drama because he was looking for a challenge.

“I wanted to take on the challenge of the comedy genre. Actually, I think comedy is the most difficult genre,” he said.

Rowoon also spoke about his character, sharing some unexpected details about the young widower. “[Shim Jung Woo] seems to be a child-like character whose time has stopped. I think he is a person who could be seen as rude due to his honesty,” he said.

Interestingly, the “Extraordinary You” star spoke about the challenges of playing the character.

“There are parts where Shim Jung Woo’s words [coming] from the historical or situational background may feel a little different from [sentiments of] the current times. I tried to express those parts without making him seem hateful,” Rowoon said.

“The Matchmakers” chronicles the tale of a fateful encounter between Shim Jung Woo, a young widower portrayed by Rowoon, and Jung Soon Deok, a fellow young widow played by Cho Yi Hyun. Together, they embark on a challenging journey to unite unmarried individuals in the Joseon era, particularly those who fall outside the conventional prime age range.

Experience the compelling narrative of “The Matchmakers” when it makes its debut on October 30th at 9:45 p.m. KST. Don’t miss the opportunity to watch it, as the series will be readily accessible on Viki for your viewing pleasure.
