Behind-the-Scenes Look at Actor Kim Jae-young’s Sincere Dedication.
Behind-the-scenes photos of actor Kim Jae-young on the set of Channel A’s drama My Lovely Journey have been released, showing his sincere and warm personality. The stills, shared by his agency Management S, are getting positive reactions from fans for capturing both his professional focus and friendly off-screen demeanor.
In the images, Kim is seen in different moments — from petting a client’s dog named Genie to preparing for a scene with a serious expression. During breaks, he smiles warmly at the behind-the-scenes camera, creating a comfortable atmosphere on set. A staff member shared, “Kim Jae-young is an actor who deeply immerses himself in a character’s emotions before a scene, but as soon as the cut is called, he brightens the set with his unique humor and relaxed demeanor. Thanks to him, all the staff and actors can work together in a stable atmosphere.”
Kim Jae-young plays Lee Yeon-seok, an aspiring film director, in the series. Rather than relying on big emotional displays, he uses subtle expressions, controlled gazes, and pauses in dialogue to convey the character’s emotions. His scenes with Kang Yeo-reum (played by Gong Seung-yeon) have been praised, with viewers calling him “an actor who makes hearts flutter with his expressions rather than his lines.”
His chemistry with O Sang-sik (played by Yoo Jun-sang) and Hyun Ba-ram (played by Oh Hyun-joong) also stands out, adding humor and energy to the show. Since the drama’s premiere, Kim has received comments online like “an actor whose very presence makes hearts flutter,” “an actor with a fine emotional texture,” and “the epitome of a handsome man.” Many fans believe, “No one but Kim Jae-young could express Lee Yeon-seok like this.”
In the recent storyline, Lee Yeon-seok joins Ogu Entertainment and the travel agency Summer, raising anticipation for upcoming episodes. Viewers are waiting to see what new developments Kim will bring to the role and how his character’s journey will unfold.
My Lovely Journey airs every Saturday and Sunday at 9:20 PM on Channel A.
