Lee Se Young and Lee Junho had fruitful runs soon after working on The Red Sleeve.
For the first time in their career, Lee Se Young and Lee Junho got the chance to work together in the Korean historical drama. The series, which is based on a novel of the same name, arrived on November 12 before saying goodbye for good on New Year’s Day.
It explores the story of a court lady and the King of Joseon who eventually fell in love with each other. However, the characters hit a glitch as Lee Junho’s King Jeongjo prioritizes his country above love.
But during one filming schedule, Lee Se Young reportedly made Lee Junho’s picture as her wallpaper, and she finally revealed the real reason why she did that.

The actress, however, clarified that it was not the first time she had done it. According to Lee Se Young, she also set her co-star Yeo Jin Goo’s photo as her phone wallpaper while filming The Crowned Clown.
