Actor Jung Kyung-ho said he has watched “Bohemian Rhapsody” and “A Star Is Born” multiple times to prepare for his role in new drama series “When the Devil Calls Your Name,” during a recent interview.

Speaking to fashion magazine Allure, Jung said he is preparing for his role as a top songwriter in the upcoming show and watched the music films to gain better understanding.

He told the magazine he decided to join the new show that borrows an idea from Goethe’s “Faust” as he gained trust in director Min Jin-ki after watching his previous works.

Jung, who appeared in “Prison Playbook” and “Life on Mars” last year, added he has not yet found what he does best and decided to try different types of work to learn about himself.
