On March 13, the actress Oh Woo -ri, who appeared in the drama of Studio X+U “Friendly Rivalry”, was interviewed at the Ten Asia office in Jung -gu, Seoul. To the question about his thoughts on the execution of a daring masturbation scene in the drama, he replied with the declaration above.
In “Friendly Rivalry”, Oh Woo -ri played Choi Kyung, a character who is constantly ranked in second place, always leaving Yoo Jesi behind him. Although it seems to be the model student, it hosts rooted inferiority and a double personality. Oh Woo -ri appeared in Netflix’s “A Killer Paradox” (2024) and in the film “I, The Executioner” (2024).
Reflecting on the conclusion of the drama, Oh Woo -ri said, “I received more love than I expected. I am still incredulous. I also checked the open chat rooms for Naver and read the blog reviews. I was proud that the spectators appreciated not only the main actors but also the support cast.“
She focused on the representation of Choi Kyung’s duality. “On the surface, Kyung appears acute and rough, but basically, it has a vulnerable side. His inferiority complex guides his actions, but he is right and kind to heart. I wanted to demonstrate that, despite its contradictions, these qualities are all part of what it is.“
Oh Woo -ri also shared his experience by working with the main actors. He had a fierce rivalry on the screen with Yoo Jesi (Hyeri) and described the personality of Hyeri’s real life as a nourishing. “It is like a mother bird that takes care of birds. Every time we were fighting, he dealt with us as a leader. In the drama, Jesi is charismatic and Hyeri is also of course like this. He gave me many acting tips. “
As for Chung Su-Bin, who interpreted Woo Seul-Gi, Oh Woo -ri described as “a healing presence” on the set. “It has constantly complimented and encouraged. He said things like: ‘Sore, you’re going great. How can you also have doubts when you are so good? It gave me so much strength. “
In one scene, the character of Oh Woo -ri is surprised to masturbate at school after hours and inadvertently assists a sexual encounter between Woo Do-Hyuk (the father of Woo Seul-Gi) and Yoo Jesna (sister of Yoo Jesi). He admitted the initial concerns on the scene, but in the end he performed it professionally. “I was worried before filming, but once we started, I was not at all embarrassed. The director knew that making a big problem would only add pressure, so they reassured me that he was reciting. During the tests, everyone except the filmmaker freed the set to help me concentrate. “
Another scene that attracted attention was the intense kiss of the tank between Chung Su-Bin and Hyeri. Chung Su-Bin previously revealed in an interview that Oh Woo -ri and Kang Hye-Won were shocked when they saw the scene. Oh Woo -ri explained, “We didn’t expect it to be so beautiful. They honestly seemed lovers in love and I was amazed. I even thought they could show more affectionate moments because their chemistry was so good. “
