Actor Jang Seung-jo expressed his thoughts on playing dual roles.

At the press screening for the Netflix series 'You Killed Me', held on the 5th, Jang Seung-jo candidly shared his experiences of portraying both the violent husband Noh Jin-pyo and the family-oriented character Jang Gang.

Jang Seung-jo stated, "I made an effort to differentiate every aspect, including hairstyle, posture, voice, and laughter," and added, "I prepared faithfully according to the script." He continued, "Seeing my stress levels consistently over 90 on my smartwatch was concerning, but I felt that this tension was essential for embodying the character, so I approached it with a sense of responsibility." He also joked, "I am worried that I might receive a lot of criticism after the release, but I hope everyone watches with immersion just as much."

Director Lee Jung-rim praised, "We cast Jang Seung-jo as an actor with two faces; he is usually a kind and family-oriented father, but shows a completely different side in the work."

'You Killed Me', which will be released on the 7th, stars Jeon So-ni, Lee Yoo-mi, Jang Seung-jo, Lee Moo-saeng, and others, depicting the stories of various characters.
