Rowoon, the rising star of historical K-dramas, has opened up about his decision to join the cast of ‘The Matchmakers’, a new romantic comedy set in Joseon era. The actor shared his thoughts on the genre, his co-star, and his character in a recent interview.
Rowoon’s Challenge: Comedy in Historical Setting

He chose ‘The Matchmakers’, a comedy that follows the adventures of two young widows who become matchmakers for lonely singles in Joseon society. I wanted to challenge myself in the comedy genre. I actually think comedy is the most difficult genre. It was a genre that I wanted to try. Rowoon said that he was drawn to the script of ‘The Matchmakers’ because it was funny and refreshing. He also liked the character of Shim Jung Woo, a Confucian scholar who has a lot of influence but also a lot of problems. Shim Jung Woo is very different from me in real life. He is very strict and serious, but he also has a cute and clumsy side. He is very loyal and sincere, but he also gets into trouble because of his principles. I thought it would be fun to play him. Rowoon added that he had an easier time adjusting to the historical setting because he had already experienced it in ‘The King’s Affection’. He said that he learned a lot from his previous drama and applied it to his new role.
Rowoon’s Co-Star: Cho Yi Hyun
Rowoon also expressed his excitement to work with Cho Yi Hyun, who plays Jung Soon Deok, the female lead of ‘The Matchmakers’. Jung Soon Deok is a young widow who has a bright and cheerful personality. She teams up with Shim Jung Woo to help other widows find love again.

Rowoon also praised Cho Yi Hyun’s acting skills, saying that she was able to portray the emotions and expressions of her character very well. He said that he was looking forward to showing their chemistry on screen. We have a lot of scenes where we bicker and argue, but we also have some sweet moments. I think our characters are very compatible and adorable. I hope the viewers will enjoy watching our romance.
Rowoon’s Expectation: A New Historical Drama
