Ryu Seung-ryong praised Yunho's acting. Recently, an interview with actor Ryu Seung-ryong took place at a cafe in Seoul's Jongno district for Disney+'s 'Pine Bandits.' The story, set in 1977, depicts the deception among bandits who gather to obtain a treasure ship hidden in the sea. Ryu Seung-ryong played Oh Gwang-seok, the leader of a group that gathered from across the country after learning about the treasure. Among the diverse characters, his performance supported the story and received acclaim. He expressed the character's sincerity and obsession in detail, showcasing various aspects, including the exquisite chemistry between characters and their cruel instincts driven by desire, captivating the audience. When asked about his thoughts after finishing the work, he said, 'On the last day, we gathered with the director, writer, and actors whose schedules matched to watch the work together. We watched it in one space, laughing and applauding. It was a deeply connected work. The filming process was wonderful. I was really happy. I felt like enjoying the moment. There were many cast members, but the bond was deep. We supported and encouraged each other. It was a scene where such feelings were felt, even though it is not easy.' Regarding the possibility of a Season 2, he revealed, 'I think the ending was made with Season 2 in mind. It was really well made, and there wasn't a single scene made carelessly. I was sorry it ended. My colleagues also said this would be a good work. While filming, we talked about meeting again.' An essential aspect of this work was the rediscovery of Yunho. Ryu Seung-ryong said, 'Not just a little, but thanks to Yunho, the work became 'incredibly' rich. He was an actor who played a leading role. I was surprised from the reading session. He didn't bring the script. He said he memorized everything. I thought, 'To that extent?' He was like a sharpened blade. His determination made me feel solemn as well. He was a great stimulus for other actors. Even when there was a lot of filming time left, he was in a state of having memorized the entire script and was prepared. Where can you find such an actor? He was wonderful on set. I thought he was an icon of sincerity and diligence.' Ryu also expressed gratitude to the 'Hallyu star' Yunho, saying, 'There were many shoots in rural areas, but during shoots on the island, coffee catering cars didn't come much. However, when filming with Yunho, a buffet sent by Japanese fans even came to the island.'
