Kang Hyewon’s Interview with X Sports News about “Best Mistake 3”

Translated by KHWINTL

“Best Mistake 3” depicts a youth coming-of-age romance in which characters who were classified as “mistakes” due to someone’s prejudice became college students and made a new start. It is the third season of “Best Mistake” received 200 million views.

Among them, actor Kang Hyewon played Jin Sehee. Jin Sehee is a goddess and the object of envy at Hwayang University. She is an all-around character with not only visual appeal but also brains, but she is the type of person who must have what she wants.

Below is the full length of actor Kang Hyewon’s question and answer session to commemorate the end of the show.

You newly joined and acted in Best Mistake 3. I wonder how you feel about the end of the show.

It was my first time acting so there were many shortcomings, but it felt great to film with great staff and actors.

It’s your debut as an actor and you played a main role, so I’m curious how different it feels to be an actor compared to being an idol.

Perhaps, since it was my first time acting, I could see more regrettable parts. It made me think I should try harder.

What did you want to show through this drama? Is there any image you prepared to show us?

I wanted to show that Sehee is not such a bad character, and I think I thought a lot about Sehee as a character to portray that.

What was the most memorable response from viewers?

I remember reviews like, “How the hell can you hate Sehee…” and “Sehee, just go out with me.” I wanted to convey that Sehee isn’t just a bad character, so I’m glad people felt connected with her.

Are there any interesting behind stories from the show?

It wasn’t until the last shoot with Eunjae (actress for Kim Yeondu) that we started to stop feeling shy around each other. Afterwards, we filmed a YouTube video together, and I remember having a lot of fun.

I wonder how you felt working with actors who had already worked together.

I was worried since I wasn’t with them for season 1 and 2, but I think I was able to do well because everyone took good care of me and tried to make me feel comfortable.

What was the most memorable scene or line from the filming?

I remember the line “Do you want to be friends with me?”

If you could define what “Best Mistake 3” is to me in one sentence…?

First university excitement and courage.

Please say a few words to the viewers who loved the drama and character.

Thank you for watching “Best Mistake 3”. The character Sehee did a lot of mean things, but thank you for watching and loving her.
