The voice actress was asked about what she had been watching lately. Yoo immediately addressed the Heated Rivalry series, calling it a “standout.” “Heated Rivalry was great. It was excellent. I think it’s so well-acted. So well shot,”
Ultimately, Ji-young Yoo highly recommended that fans check out the show. The idol also praised Connor Storrie, as she highlighted his portrayal of a Russian character, noting the impressive language work involved.
“I also think the two leads’ performances are insane. One of the leads speaks an insane amount of Russian and is not a Russian speaker. And I didn’t know that at all. He has an incredible Russian accent. Shout out to Connor Storrie.”
