Actress Lee Chung-ah talked about her actor boyfriend Lee Ki-woo during a press conference for her drama “Riders” on Wednesday.

“When I began shooting the drama, my boyfriend went to the army for the TV program ‘Real Men: Marine Corps,’ so I didn’t get to see him,” said Lee Chung-ah when the reporters asked her if Lee Ki-woo cheered for her new drama.

She also said the drama is not only about love, but also about dream and pain. “The concerns I had when I was in my 20s are all illustrated in the drama,” she said.

The 12-epsode series “Riders,” also starring actor Kim Dong-wook and actress Kim Yeo-jin, centers around a rickshaw start-up company. The drama hits the air every Sunday at 11 p.m., starting this weekend, on cable channel E-channel.
