Park Hyung Sik and Han Hyo Joo spoke about their tvN drama “Happiness” in a photo shoot with Elle!

“Happiness” is an apocalyptic urban thriller set in the near future inside an apartment building that is stratified by social standing. The high-rise apartment is sealed off when a new infectious disease emerges, and the drama depicts the fear, psychological battles, and desperate struggles for survival that ensue.

Han Hyo Joo stars in the drama as Yoon Sae Bom, a tactical agent in the Seoul Police Special Operations Unit, while Park Hyung Sik stars as detective Jung Yi Hyun, her former high school classmate who has feelings for her.

During the interview, Han Hyo Joo talked about her bold and perceptive character Yoon Sae Bom. She said, “As soon as I read the script, I thought she was no different from me. I liked how I was able to portray myself. Just like Yoon Sae Bom, I act first, think later, and my appetite is also similar to hers.”

Regarding her co-star Park Hyung Sik, she commented, “Park Hyung Sik has good energy that brightens his surroundings. When he comes to the set, everything automatically lights up.”

“Happiness” is Park Hyung Sik’s first post-military drama. The actor remarked, “[The drama] was attractive because the characters were simply and clearly expressed and the developments coolly unfolded. The action scenes also tried to capture survival-type actions that could be used when a real detective is faced with extreme situations”

Then he praised Han Hyo Joo, saying, “Sometimes she’s like an affectionate nuna, and at other times, she’s playful and free-spirited. Filming consumed a lot of my physical strength, but thanks to her, I was able to endure well.”
