It’s been two years since the hit series Reply 1988, but the after-effects of the drama is still apparent today.

For Korean actor Ko Kyung Pyo, who played student council president Sung Sunwoo in the drama, Reply 1988 has not only given him the opportunity to “act in different drama roles”, but strong bonds with his fellow co-stars as well.

The '1988' quintet, comprising of actors Park Bo Gum, Lee Dong Hwi, Ryu Jun Yeol, Ko Kyung Pyo and idol actress Hyeri from Girl’s Day, still have a group chat that they chat on from time to time, although their busy schedules prevents them from meeting up.

Kyung Pyo, who was in town for a private fanmeet session, also shared at a press conference that the roles he had before Reply 1988 were more comical and immature. Now, the 26-year-old seems to have moved on to ‘perfect suitor’ roles, having played a third-generation rich heir Go Jungwon in his latest drama, Jealousy Incarnate.

However, it seems like the actor is nothing like the suave, heart-fluttering character that he portrayed and Kyung Pyo revealed that there were even moments where he’d cringe at his own character’s actions while filming.

“[In the drama], there’s a scene where I’ll meet the female lead [Korean actress Gong Hyo Jin] on her way to work. As I was filming the scene, I realised that it was a very embarrassing scene. However, I realised that many people loved that scene after it aired,” Kyung Pyo shared.

He later explained that there was a lot of times where he had to “act cool” for prolonged periods of time during filming, making him feel embarrassed.

So is he as cool as Jungwon? "I'll leave it up to your imaginations," he teasingly replied.
