Although the three actors were acquainted long before The Manipulated, working on the series deepened their appreciation for each other’s craft.
Ji admitted to being “amazed” and “surprised” by how Lee and Doh “brought so much more to their characters” than he had imagined.
Doh, who “usually got along with the other two personally”, said that he was curious about what they would be like while working.
“Seeing their professional side on set, I feel like I’ve learnt a lot from them,” praised Doh.
Lee then reminisced, saying: “It’s been over ten years since we last worked together. We’ve all grown older and matured, so meeting again as different characters felt really new and special to me.”
He added: “It felt strange but also made me feel grateful. I’m truly thankful for this project.”
The Manipulated is currently streaming on Disney+, with new episodes every Wednesday.
