E-Junkies: Money or love? Cinderella at 2am's Moon Sang-min and Shin Hyun-been tell us

Would you break-up with your partner for a cheque?

In the ongoing K-drama Cinderella at 2am, the female lead Ha Yoon-seo (played by Shin Hyun-been) discovers that her boyfriend Seo Ju-won (Moon Sang-min) is a wealthy conglomerate heir.

Ju-won's mother disapproves of their romance and offers Yoon-seo a large sum of money to break up with her son. Ever the pragmatic person, she agrees and writes her bank account number on a slip of paper.

During a recent interview with the two actors, AsiaOne asked if they'd do the same if it happens to them in real life.

"I don't think I could've said I would break up with him for certain. I don't even think I could've said I'd take the money… I would've only said things like, 'I need some time to think'," said Hyun-been.

"I think Yoon-seo did it to break up with Ju-won rather than for the money… she thought that he would stop loving her if she accepted the money."

The 38-year-old added that she thought Yoon-seo's "resoluteness" was "impressive".

Hyun-been was amused by Sang-min's response. The 24-year-old said: "I would write down my bank account number… because Juwon's mother is so scary, I don't think I could refuse to write it down right there."

When asked about how they differ from their characters in the show, Hyun-been told us she isn't as pragmatic as Yoon-seo.

"When I'm working, I try to be pragmatic or logical in my judgement but in dating and love, I don't think I'm able to do that," she said.

"But as I saw Yoon-seo… I could relate to how she thinks a lot about such things."

Sang-min felt he resembles Ju-won "a lot".

"I believe I'm a romantic like Ju-won when he's dating but I think I lack in many ways… I could relate to Ju-won a lot in that sense and I felt like I was watching myself," he shared, adding that he had "a lot of affection" for his character.

Upon looking up their MBTI (Myers-Briggs Type Indicator), we found that Sang-min is an ESTP and Hyun-been an ENFJ.

While they're both extroverts, ESTPs are entrepreneurs and said to be sociable and practical while ENFJs - protagonists - are known to be charismatic, natural leaders.

Sang-min and Hyun-been agreed that they have "the best chemistry", the former adding that he loves ENFJs and the latter tend to like him too.

"The MBTI type I like the most is ENFJ. Several people around me are ENFJs too. They're usually very considerate and seem to take care of others with great attentiveness," he said.

Hyun-been shared: "In real life, we may have opposite personalities and in the drama, those two are total opposites. Yoon-seo is a sterner and more realistic person while Ju-won is more emotional and romantic.

"While we were acting, we talked to each other, got each other's help and got to understand each other."
