Quotes

  • [Ranini May 2017] Actually, the love between Hilal and Leon was already in the script. Before starting the shootings we knew what would happen until the season finale and the story line. But we also were very surprised that the viewers noticed it and wanted to see their love before Hileon started. Probably it's because that two characters are too different and too strong in their own worlds. I think that's the reason why the viewers think that they match each other.
  • [talks about his character trademark, key word] Crazy. I love have fun without hesitation so much. But especially after Wounded Love (2016), I can't do it so much.
  • Leon's ego doesn't come from his uniform, comes from his intelligence and wisdom.
  • I always care about the people around me are happier anywhere. But you forget yourself this time. I can't prevent my trait so much.
  • My mother is fine arts graduate. She would paint at home. Likewise my father too. My father also would play oud and piano.
