< WGM > Jung Yoonjung PD Interview
Q. How was the response for Khun and Victoria? (Laughs)
Jung Yoonjung : The ratings increased. Although I don’t know the effect of last week’s rain and the World Cup, but Kang PD, who I direct with, claims that there has been an increase in viewership for women in their 40s. (Laughs)
"Nichkhun is the legendary good man"
Q. Everyone’s frame of mind should be the same as Park Misun’s (Laughs) [T/N: Park Misun is one of the MCs of WGM, in the age group of 40s-50s]
Jung Yoonjung: Because Nichkhun’s popularity as a pretty man is so high, we have a worry of “Is this too strong of a card”, but I’m very grateful that so many people like it. My friends who are married like it as well. (Laughs)
Q. The reason for using such a strong card as Nichkhun?
Jung Yoonjung: Honestly, WGM has never used such a popular person. Usually, we use people who we haven't seen many sides of, and give them an opportunity for it to be discovered. However, Nichkhun was attractive enough that you still want to try. Not because as an idol, he was handsome and had a great body, but because he is very charming and gentleman-like. Because he lived overseas by himself, he has a maturity more than his age and is the so-called ‘good man’. Because he is like this, we want others to see a different side of Nichkhun; that is also the reason why we made him take the bus in the first episode
Q. Nichkhun's partner was also chosen well. Firstly, the appearance was very suitable, and also, she has the uniqueness of a foreign person
Jung Yoonjung: Honestly we were very worried when choosing Victoria. Although there is a burden that the two of them are foreign, Victoria and Nichkhun are suited for each other in many ways. Jo Kwon, in the Adam couple, has never been dated before, and Seohyun in the Sweet Potato couple has never had any dating experience, so Jo Kwon and Seohyun are special. But Nichkhun and Victoria have very realistic physical appearances but their personalities are like any other adult men and women, especially Victoria

Q. In what way?
Jung Yoonjung: Ladies all think this. At the beginning, because Victoria is foreign, we may feel that there would be a wall between her and us. Everyone thinks, do all girls think the same, or is it different because Victoria is Chinese? But after filming once, we discovered, ah, all women are the same. Didn’t Victoria say: I like childish things? After watching that drama, all women think that. When Hwang Jungeum and Kim Yongjun started Season 2, they didn’t have the feeling of a fake marriage, and it was also important that it had the feeling like “All women would act this way if men were like this” and get the agreement of women. Victoria is someone that can make others have that feeling (that she is the same as everyone else)
