00:08For me, I had a lot of lines.

00:14In fact I think this character had more lines

00:19than any other character I worked on.

00:24Not just the sheer volume, but there was also a lot of color

00:28and sense of character portrayed in her lines,

00:33so I was really focused on how to bring the well written script to life.

00:40I didn’t want to force laughter, or exaggerate,

00:44but just be loyal to the situations created in the script.

00:50So my main focus was how to really capture and

00:54deliver the script as best as I can.

00:59As for me, because I was playing a North Korean character,

01:04the North Korean accent was my priority.

01:08Before shooting, I took lessons, once again.

01:11And because my character needs to protect Se-ri,

01:15I also wanted to physically appear dependable, so I bulked up a bit,

01:21and my character had studied piano in Switzerland as a child

01:25so I had to take piano lessons as well.

01:34We shot overseas from the beginning,

01:38so we didn’t get the chance to really rehearse the details

01:43with the team in Korea before our shoot,

01:46and the schedule was quite tight…and also,

01:49there were a lot of emotional scenes shot overseas,

01:54so maintaining the degree of emotions in the different locations was quite a challenge.

02:04When it comes to challenges…

02:08I would say there’s something that is hard to achieve

02:11and that is–as Yejin mentioned before–

02:15because the script is so well written,

02:18we really wanted to make sure that we didn’t do the script any harm,

02:24and convey what we had felt when we had first read the script,

02:28onto the screen through our acting.

02:32That was and is the focus of our acting.

02:34It could be the timing or the tempo,

02:37and just finding just the right points that allows us

02:40to really bring the script to life–that is the difficult part.

02:43But despite it being difficult,

02:46I really enjoy the process,

02:49so hopefully our viewers will appreciate that also.

02:57I think all of our lives change and sometimes lead to regret,

03:02due to destiny and serendipity.

03:06Our drama series really is a continuation of destiny, coincidence, and serendipity.

03:16 I personally think about these things quite often in life.

03:22Everything just might be destined…

03:27I’m a bit of a fatalist; and I think our drama conveys these ideas as well.

03:36I think destiny, coincidence, serendipity…

03:42these things are always very near us,

03:45but whether it will lead us in a positive or negative direction,

03:49only time will tell.
