Joo Won suffers fatigue from sleepless nights for Yongpal.

The popular SBS drama Yongpal is definitely taking its effect on viewers who are basically glued to the TV every Wed-Thu. The drama has also taken top no#1 spot and breaking record of 20% ratings for Episode 5-6. 

However the drama has not only hit the top ranks but also drained the main leads. Leading actor Joo Won is suffering sleepless nights as he hasn't taken a nap for the past 6 nights after filming in a row. Poor fella! His eyes were looking like red blood shots too with dark circles under them. 

As usual the drama filming schedule is tight and until the 6th day, they have to keep shooting the scenes to ensure to be broadcasted out in time. Appearing in front of the media, Joo Won looks very fatigue yet he was still laughing away. 

He said he has to work harder to look good for the drama. When he saw the ratings skyrocketing, he has no choice but to keep it up as it made him proud of it. He also mentioned that for one scene he has to shoot more than 57 times to bring out the part.
Now that Kim Tae Hee's scenes have started to film, so he's very happy about it. He also hopes to have the piggy back scenes as soon as possible. Haha!

For the past few episodes it was all one man show of Joo Won running around to earn money for his sick sister, battling with gangsters and cops and even within the hospital staffs. Though Kim Tae Hee plays the chaebol heiress she was lying down most of the time in the state of art medical bed without doing any action. And to think of their reaction between the two in Episode 6 is quite funny. Yeo Jin gets haughty when Tae Hyun leans over to read the article on his mobile phone. She tells him to pick up his own phone to read it He shuts her off by saying she gets angry if he takes the phone away from her palm. 

Ever since debuting his dramas such as Baker King: Kim Tak Gu (2010), Ojakyo Brothers (2011), Bridal Mask (2012) and Good Doctor (2013), Joo Won has been a favorite with KBS TV Station as they were hit dramas. So this round SBS has scouted him over to film Yongpal.

However he felt he still has a long way to go. He is grateful and thanking SBS for scouting him over for this new drama and felt quite burdened at the start.
