Dear Hongrang Jo Bo Ah reveals nickname she gave to Lee Jae Wook, shares why she keeps distance from male co-stars
Dear Hongrang is Netflix's newest sensation, taking the viewership charts by storm. The historical fantasy mystery stars Jo Bo Ah and Lee Jae Wook in lead roles and premiered on May 17. The show has been well received on both domestic and global fronts, a rare feat. Basking in the success of her new show, Jo Bo Ah, whose mega project Knock Off for Disney Plus with actor Kim Soo Hyun was halted because of the actor's controversy, has now opened up about her experience on the set of Dear Hongrang, while also sharing personal aspects of her life, including her surprise marriage, future plans for a family, and why she's changed the way she interacts with her male co-stars, in an interview held at a café in Samcheong-dong, Seoul. Also read: Dear Hongrang: 3 key points to look out for before watching Netflix's new historical romance, starring Lee Jae Wook and Jo Bo Ah In Dear Hongrang, Jo Bo Ah plays Jae Yi. The story begins with the disappearance of Hong Rang (Played by Lee Jae Wook), the son of a powerful merchant family in the Joseon era. After 12 years, he returns with no memory of his childhood, but Jae Yi is convinced the person is an impostor. What follows is a long wave of deceit, mystery, and evil intentions. 'We wrapped filming around May last year, and after nearly a year, it's finally out,' Jo said of the eight-month shoot. The K-drama ended on a bittersweet note that left many reeling with its open ending, but fans praised the chemistry between the lead stars as worth the hype. Jo Bo Ah, who is no stranger to the fantasy genre, having starred in shows like Destined With You, also praised her co-star Lee Jae Wook for being reliable, comforting and easy to work with. 'He has a great personality,' she shared. 'If someone's awkward when I try to talk, I hold back too. But Jae Wook was really open, so we clicked fast. I even started calling him 'angel' by the end,' she laughed. However, despite sharing a good friendship off-screen and beautiful chemistry on screen, Jo made it clear that her bond with her male co-stars has become more reserved in recent years. Opening up about this on Shin Dong Yup's YouTube show Jjanhan Hyung, she recalled an incident where she 'once messaged a co-star, 'See you that day♥' and thought nothing of it,' she said. 'But the heart emoji sparked unexpected dating rumours.' The host chimed in, saying people with natural habits like this don't always realise how it comes across. Jo nodded in adding, 'In our industry, people don't like seeing you act cute with the opposite sex. So naturally, I started keeping more distance.'

She'd say, 'Love you, sunbae~' and leave. And then suddenly—bam—she's married?. Jo Bo Ah surprised everyone with unexpected marriage plans back in October. There were no dating rumours, and Jo has kept her relationship extremely private. Speaking of the same, the actor revealed how she always dreamed of getting married and always had romantic ideas about it, but kept delaying it because of work. 'I've always had romantic ideas about marriage,' she said. 'But I was so focused on work, I kept pushing it back. I try to keep work and personal life separate.' Jo is married to a non-celebrity, and without revealing further about him, she simply said, 'He looks really good to me. Honestly… I think he's too good for me.' The K-drama star was also asked about expanding her family. She said, 'My parents gave me such a warm home. I've always wanted to build that kind of family myself.' As for a honeymoon? 'We haven't planned one yet.'

Dear Hongrang's Jo Bo Ah reveals why she sets boundaries with male co-stars; reason might SHOCK you
Jo Bo Ah is famous for her instant chemistry with pretty much every co-star she works with. Whether it's Lee Dong Wook in Tale of the Nine Tailed, Rowoon in Destined With You, or Lee Jae Wook in her latest series Dear Hongrang, she effortlessly blends her energy with hers. Known not just for her talent but also for her sweet, caring personality, Jo Bo Ah has always been the actress who connects naturally on and off screen. But things have changed. In a recent episode of Shin Dong Yup's YouTube show Jjanhan Hyung, Jo Bo Ah opened up about why she's become more distant from her male co-stars, and no, it's not just for her marriage. A heart emoji is the reason why she keeps her distance. Jo Bo Ah recalled, laughing, 'I'd casually send a heart emoji after saying 'Okay, see you then' without a second thought.' But apparently, those little hearts sparked some confusion. Her male co-star misunderstood her intentions. Shin Dong Yup commented, 'People don't always distinguish between men and women — it just slips out naturally.' Jo Bo Ah nodded, explaining how tricky it can get in the entertainment industry. 'People don't like seeing you act cute with the opposite sex, so I naturally started keeping more distance from male colleagues.' The guest on the show, Park Byung Eun, chimed in with a laugh, 'I misunderstood her once. She would say, 'Thank you, love you, sunbae,' and then just walk away. It caught me off guard!' This confusion led Jo Bo Ah to stop being too friendly with her male colleagues. For those who didn't know, Jo Bo Ah quietly tied knot in October 2024 with a non-celebrity, and she prefers to keep her married life completely private — something she's managed to do perfectly. Jo Bo Ah's story is a reminder that behind the effortless charm and chemistry, a smart woman is navigating the fine lines of her career and personal boundaries with grace.

7 K-drama proposals that had us crying into our soju
2. 'Destined With You' (2023) Jang Shin-yu (Rowoon) and Lee Hong-jo (Jo Bo-ah) are quite literally fated lovers—though fate comes with a sinister curse and centuries of tragic reincarnations. Their relationship begins with mistrust, blossoms into hesitant affection and deepens as they uncover the painful past that binds them. From ancient magic to modern misunderstandings, these two weather every possible emotional tempest. The proposal happens not in a grand gesture but in a moment of quiet resolve. After surviving spiritual possession, inherited trauma and multiple heartbreaks, Shin-yu kneels before Hong-jo and asks her to marry him—not to defy fate, but to finally claim it on their terms. It's tender, almost subdued and made all the more meaningful by the fact that this time, their love isn't doomed. Also read: 10 sweetest meet-cutes in K-drama history 3. 'Oh my Venus' (2015) Joo Eun (Shin Min-a) and Young Ho (So Ji-sub) didn't start with candlelit dinners or stolen glances—they bonded over sweat, self-discipline and late-night banter. She was a once-popular beauty struggling with body image and health; he was a celebrity trainer with a childhood marked by trauma and strict expectations. What began as a fitness contract slowly turned into a deeply respectful and emotionally grounded relationship. By the time Young Ho proposes, their love has been forged through resilience and recovery—both physical and emotional. The moment is quiet, sweet and uniquely symbolic: he hands her a ball of yarn, letting it unravel to reveal a ring tucked delicately inside (quite similar to Stepmom ). It's not just a creative gesture—it's a reflection of how their lives slowly wound around each other, stitch by stitch. A metaphor for care, patience and the gentle way they've helped each other heal. 4. 'What's Wrong With Secretary Kim?' (2018) He's a narcissistic CEO, she's the hyper-competent secretary ready to resign. Their workplace dynamics sizzle with banter and underlying attraction. What starts as a misunderstanding-filled chase morphs into one of K-drama's most endearing modern romances. Lee Young-joon (Park Seo-joon), the self-assured CEO, plans an extravagant rooftop proposal complete with candles, flowers, and a city skyline backdrop. But it's Mi-so (Park Min-young) who flips the script. Before he can utter his rehearsed lines, she gently proposes first—with subtlety, confidence and affection. In a drama known for its humour and charm, this unexpected reversal becomes one of its most romantic moments. 5. 'Business Proposal' (2022) Kang Tae-moo (Ahn Hyo-seop), the brilliant but emotionally reserved CEO, falls for Shin Ha-ri (Kim Se-jung), a bright, spunky employee who originally entered his life under false pretenses—pretending to be a wild, chaebol -repelling date for his matchmaking appointments. What followed was a comedy of errors, corporate chaos and a surprisingly touching romance that defied every trope it leaned into. When Tae-moo finally proposes, it's in a downpour that seems almost orchestrated by the drama gods themselves. He holds an umbrella over Ha Ri, confesses his love with a level of vulnerability he rarely shows, and asks her to share the rest of her life with him. It's classic K-drama stuff—but the chemistry between the leads and Tae-moo's earnest delivery makes it unforgettable. It's not just a confession—it's a clearing of emotional rainclouds.

'Queen of Tears' (2024) Up-and-coming lawyer Baek Hyun-woo (Kim Soo-hyun) thinks he's smooth but his secretly chaebol girlfriend is in control all along, booking the aquarium for a private event and even controlling the mood music. With everything seemingly falling into place, Hyun-woo believes that the universe is on their side and she asks for Hong Hae-in's (Kim Ji-won) hand in marriage. What's even sweeter is that we get two proposals in this series. Spoiler alert: the couple divorce later and Hyun-woo once again attempts to ask for her hand with a stunning Bvlgari solitaire. She rejects his profession of love only to be caught by Hyun-woo wearing and admiring the ring later. 7. 'King the Land' (2023) Gu-won (Lee Jun-ho), the emotionally reserved hotel heir, and Cheon Sa-rang (Im Yoon-ah), the ever-optimistic concierge, go from clashing co-workers to an unexpectedly tender couple. Despite their class divide and a boardroom full of obstacles, their relationship blossoms on the foundation of trust, empathy and just enough office flirting. As far as proposals go, this one is private, heartfelt and refreshingly un-flashy. Gu-won whisks Sa-rang away to a scenic resort and drops the CEO bravado for a raw confession: she's the light in his otherwise sterile life. No flash mobs or champagne-fueled theatrics—just sincerity, a ring and a man finally brave enough to smile for real.
