Swift and zippy, The Killer’s Shopping List is an eight-episode series of fun, thrill and pleasant memories!
In collaboration with iQIYI, we had a chance to interview the lead cast Lee Kwang Soo and Seolhyun through email. They share insights about their characters and filming experience.
The Killer’s Shopping List narrates the story of how a supermarket receipt becomes a crucial piece of evidence in the pursuit of a killer.
Lee Kwang Soo Raves About Dae-sung’s Charms
Challenging an interesting role in The Killer’s Shopping List, Lee Kwang Soo has tinged his character with emotions and humor.
When asked about his similarities with Dae-sung, the Running Man mainstay also shared the qualities of his latest character that he wants to have.
“I think I have many similarities with Dae-sung. He is a person who shows a lot of affection and interest in the people around him. This part of the character was very attractive. Personally, I also try to show interest in the people around me.”
Trust Lee Kwang Soo to induce laughter for his thoughts, he adorably quips the funny side of how different he is from Dae-sung.
“The main difference between Dae-sung and me is that I don’t have a good memory like him!”
Sharing Dae-sung’s charm as a character, Lee remarked how he liked him because even when he suffers from trauma, he solves the case and overcomes his trauma through the people around him.
Seolhyun’s Career Aspirations
Likewise, Seolhyun relays her insights about her police officer role in The Killer’s Shopping List.
Responding to her preparations for her role, she revealed learning boxing. She also describes A-hee as a good friend who takes good care of the people she loves. Whenever a problem arises, she can expect a hero-like figure who can save you from a crisis.
“Learning boxing for my role was quite difficult because it was the first sport I’ve ever learned, and it took me a while to get used to it. Most of all, it was difficult to go through my lines without running out of breath, in a scene where I had to speak while boxing. But it was a fun experience!”
As the talented actress builds her presence in the industry, she profoundly conveys refusing to pick roles to play in the future. Instead, she wants to achieve growth moving forward.
“Rather than limiting what kind of character I want to play, I would be grateful if I could play a character that I can empathize with and express well.”
On Working Together In The Killer’s Shopping List
Communicating the fun memories, they shared while filming, Seolhyun recounts a hilarious scene. She shared that funny situations would occur unexpectedly. And we can only imagine the fun the cast had while filming.
“There was a scene where Jin Hee-kyung was throwing a ballpoint pen, and it accidentally went into Kwangsoo’s nostrils. It was so funny!”
Affirming Seolhyun’s statement, Lee Kwang Soo conveyed how the thought of remembering the shooting still makes him laugh.
“I’m so grateful for every moment I had with these great people. Because I was acting with such bright and cheerful people, every moment on set was fun and happy.”
When asked about their first impressions of each other, Lee thinks Seolhyun shares a lot of similarities with Do A-hee.
“I think I have a lot of chemistry with Seol-hyun. She has a bright personality and is very talkative, so I can see a lot of similarities that she has with her character Do Ah-hee. I’ve already known her from a previous variety show before filming this, so we were able to chat a lot and share ideas with each other before filming.”
Echoing her senior’s thoughts, Seolhyun agreed to their impeccable chemistry.
“When I first saw Kwang-soo oppa on variety shows, I thought he was a fun and comfortable senior. When we worked together on the series, I found him to be really fun and sensible. He is a good actor and a reliable senior with a lot of willpower. Our chemistry score is 100 out of 10!”
