Created by "Elegant Friends" director Song Hyun Wook and "Horrible Monster" screenwriter Baek Chul Hyun, "Undercover" is based on the British BBC drama of the same name and tells the story between her husband Han Jung-hyun (Ji Jin-hee), who has been hiding his secret agent identity for 27 years, and his lawyer wife Choi Ran-so (Kim Hyun-joo), who has begun to suspect him.
For the feeling of starring in the TV series, Chi Zhenxi frankly said: "The TV series ended with the highest ratings, and the broadcast time of 11 o'clock late at night on the weekend was not prime time, but it was still possible to achieve the highest ratings, although it was not great, but the results were still gratifying. Of course, the end of the TV series was both happy and unwilling for me. "
Although Han Zhengxian, played by Ji Jinxi, is a good husband and father to his family, he is actually a secret agent of the National Security Planning Department, and he is a character who completely hides his identity.
During the banquet, Chi Zhenxi talked about the role played in the play. He said, "The first thing that attracted me most about the work was Han Zhengxian's struggle to protect his family. Generally speaking, men can fight for their loved ones or justice, but Han Zhengxian focuses entirely on the family. Secondly, there are many fight scenes in the play that are also satisfactory to me, playing an intelligence agent in middle age and having a fight scene, making the role full of charm. "
This is the third collaboration between Ji Jin-hee and Kim Hyun-joo, who have played husband and wife before, and this time they have joined forces again to give the audience a sense of closeness.
Ji Jinxi laughed and said that although he and Kim Hyun-joo are husband and wife in the play, there are not many scenes together. Many viewers think that it is a continuation of the TV series "I Have a Lover" and think that we are a good match. I think it was because of the impression on everyone in the last work. It was not easy to work together three times, but thanks to Kim Hyun-joo, the shooting went smoothly in a comfortable environment.
Looking at the recent popularity of Korean dramas, many of them are eye-catching "dog blood dramas" or full of exciting scenes and content, but "Undercover" is family-centric, so there are also "plot clichés" comments.
Chi Zhenxi responded: "Yes, many times I think so too. But I think The subject matter of "Undercover" is more prominent in today's environment. Han Zhengxian is a more introverted character, if the past identity is made public, he may leave his beloved, and may also be recognized by others. If you have a deep understanding of these situations, you will find it more interesting and attractive, but the TV series that have been broadcast recently will not take these factors into account, so I feel a little sorry. "
Through the play, Ji Jin-hee not only satisfies the addiction of playing drama, but also develops a love story with Kim Hyun-joo.
Chi Zhenxi said: "I very much hope to continue to shoot fight scenes or love scenes. Everyone dreams of love, and even in their 50s, they have love and emotions that match this age, so they hope to shoot love dramas that match their own age. I think I can express love even without too exciting shots, so I still want to shoot scenes and love works that are the same age as my own. "
Ji Zhenxi starred in many TV series such as "Misty", "60 Days, Designated Survivor", "Move to Heaven: I Am a Relic Finisher" and many other TV series, which triggered a warm response. In the interview, Chi Zhenxi denied the idea of "picking the script", believing that as long as the content is good, he will participate in the shooting.
Finally, for the future work plan, Chi Zhenxi said: "There is a TV series about to be broadcast in the second half of the year, and final preparations are currently being made. Recently, I like to play golf, and I hope to play golf quickly after the end of the new drama in the second half of the year (haha). Friends around me gave me a count, saying that if the second half of the year ends smoothly, next year will be better. Therefore, I hope to prepare new dramas with heart and stand in front of everyone with a better image. "
