Yoona of girl group SNSD, who is in KBS2's new Monday-Tuesday drama "The Prime Minister and I" shared her opinions.

Q: Has filming been fun/joyful for "The Prime Minister and I"? It's shortly before release; have you dreamt any good dreams?

Yoona: The airing of the first episode is in only a few weeks - as the date gets closer, I get more anxious and expectant. It can get burdensome at times but the scene/setting of the filming is fun and interesting. I haven't dream anything but I'd like to dream a daebak dream a day or two before the first airing. (laughter)

Q: So you took on the role of Reporter Nam DaJung. What's one "transformation point" that you think is important?

Yoona: Compared to the different roles I have had so far, this one has a very foolish yet bright personality, something similar to mine. So that's why I tried my best to show my natural everyday life personality in the most natural way possible. There's one point in the drama where I (Reporter) transforms into a more mature person so that's when I have to change moods. In order to show those differences, I freely changed my hairstyle from the Reporter style to a more free and lively hairstyle. {Not sure what she's saying, the sentence is extremely long}

Q: After reading the script for "The Prime Minister and I", what feelings did you get?

Yoona: I had a lot of fun reading it. (laughter) I've always wanted to act in a romantic comedy; since this script had a lot of scenes that I expected, it was really fun to read [the script]. What made it even better was that the character Nam DaJung was similar to the one I was looking for. I was looking for a character that was more brighter and manlier than the personality I previously showed, and I really liked how Nam DaJung's character fit that perfectly.

Q: What's the personality of Lee BumSoo, who is one of the main characters to open up this romantic comedy?

Yoona: He looks like a serious person but he has a ton of humor inside. He's very manly and attractive at the same time. He's the one who usually starts the conversation with me, fools around a lot with me, and shows his love for me a lot and converses with me freely. I'm thankful. Also, when I first looked at the script, I thought he was very fitting for the role of a prime minister. When I first saw him as he entered the filming scene dressed as a prime minister, the thought of "wow, so manly/cool" first popped into my mind. He really fit that role well. I don't know if it's because of how he saw me as Nam DaJung, but filming went really freely for me. I think that it was really honorable to film with [Lee Bum Soo] sunbaenim.

Q: What are some thing that you put a lot of effort into, but only for the making of "The Prime Minister and I"?

Yoona: I read the script a *lot*. So far, out of all the dramas I've starred in, I've read the script for this the most. I also tried my best [out of all previous dramas] for this; this drama is one that can be burdensome at times. I've always prayed daily before filming but I've never prayed this hard. I really hope this drama can receive a lot of attention and love and can be a good memory for many people.
