Lee Jin-wook himself (1)
In the end, I decided to take a break for 30 minutes and edit only the parts necessary for the shooting right away.
And Kim Sang-hee finished all the editing work in 20 minutes.
“It’s finished.”
“already? Hey, it’s like Word Ferrari. It’s a writing machine, a machine.”
“Isn’t Cha Do-jin doing so much better than I thought? The smoke has improved a lot. More than the last time we were together.”
“Yeah. I was a bit surprised too.”
“Is it because he feels a sense of competition with Lee Jin-wook?”
“Ah, it’s worth feeling the competitive spirit. Who dug it up?”
“Yes Yes. Genius PD Song PD-nim discovered it.”
“But what did you edit? Doesn’t look like much has changed.”
“I marked the changed part.”
“I thought I had ripped it apart again, but I barely touched it. I’m glad though.”
During the airing, he even wrote a new script for one episode a few hours before filming, so Song Jeong-woo’s heart was quite strong.
However, I didn’t touch it as much as I thought.
“There is nothing to fix in Episodes 1 and 2, and there will be more things to change as we go further. Only relief has changed the psychological concept.”
“how?”
“Originally, Ku Gu-man believed in Lee Jin-wook’s innocence like a stone, and then got stabbed in the back, right?”
“right. Oh, then?”
When Song Jung-woo understood right away, Kim Sang-hee also excitedly explained.
“Look at Cha Do-jin’s acting. It doesn’t show up well on the screen, but inside I’m starting to have doubts. You know something is suspicious. Still, I decided to trust the client and took on the commission.”
“Hmm, that could be interpreted that way.”
“If Lee Jin-wook’s identity is revealed later, it will be visible that Ku Gu-man’s attitude has been suspicious since then.”
“But is it necessary to be so thorough? Most of the people pass by without knowing it.”
“I’ve noticed from this point on,” he said, and laid the plates in advance so that people who would tend to strain their shoulders would come out. Only then will rice cakes be recreated, and word of mouth will ride.”
Song Jeong-woo looked over the script and nodded quietly.
“That’s a good strategy. Anyway, this audience rating is like a ghost. That’s why I pay 8,000 each for the synagogue’s writing fee.”
“If anyone hears it, they will think that PD-nim is the president of the broadcasting station.”
As the drama develops, the reluctance that only Gu Gu-gu has has gradually deepens, and the moment when doubts grow and become certainty that he did not want in the past, that is when Lee Jin-wook’s true self will be revealed.
Kim Sang-hee wants to convey to the viewers the shock that only salvation can receive at that moment.
“Ah, this is going to be a bit difficult to act. Cha Do-jin needs to exert some strength.”
“Cha Do-jin now can do it. I believe so.”

The shooting proceeded without hesitation like a supercar speeding down the autobahn.
Every time the camera was turned on, Jeong Seo-hoon could feel the ecstasy as if he had returned to the place he missed.
The past situation and background tailored to the extreme situation fit perfectly, and he was able to work freely with the body and mind of a soldier for the first time in a while.
I could spit it out, scold it, protest it, get angry.
Everything in the studio was replaced by a stage in his memory.
The other person’s face is the same, but it has changed into a person in memory who persecuted, helped, or believed in him.
So, with a soldier’s heart, he was able to freely exhale.
It’s not about acting.
All you have to do is bring out your true self that no one knows about and show it to your heart’s content.
You don’t have to go through the inconvenience of rehabilitating to suppress the soldier’s heart and direct the heart of Jeong Seo-hoon.
It’s so easy, so easy, and so comfortable.
Intoxicated with the comfort that seemed to have found its place, Jeong Seo-hoon let himself out to his heart’s content.

‘That friend, did you get the water right?’
Cinematographer Yang Tae-seok kept forgetting to breathe.
Because of the unknown rookie.
The camera director is the first viewer to see the acting of the actor to be expressed in the drama first and raw.
He had never felt that the camera display liquid crystal was particularly small and stuffy as today.
I wish I could see it on a bigger and clearer screen.
A place like a state-of-the-art theater equipped with the best screen and sound.
It is a breath that is sucked in by itself.
Even in parts that didn’t require strength, Jeong Seo-hoon’s acting shone.
As PD Song Jeong-woo said, I wonder if Private Lee Jin-wook was really brought out in the play.
Another scene is over.
Cha Do-jin drinks water and catches his breath.
You can’t see it on camera, but your back is probably wet with sweat.
‘Cha Do-jin is also working hard today. Will this really explode?’
After the great cable era opened, all kinds of channels bombarded the living room with Jung-gu heating.
A long time ago, ratings of 50% and 60% came out occasionally, but now it is said that it is a miracle to exceed 30%.
‘I don’t even want 20%, so I hope that only 10% will come out consistently’ is the cautious wish of the drama directors.
Cable TV, in particular, has lower ratings than terrestrial TV.
Cinematographer Yang Tae-seok carefully predicted it.
So that the denial does not burn, only inside.
‘The 10% comes out unconditionally. If I do well, I might be able to look at the 20% range.’
The script is good, and the atmosphere on set is also friendly.
It is a sweet atmosphere created by a cool shooting speed like a full accelerator run, not by force.
“Cut. Now, after resting, we will move to the outdoor site.”
The indoor shoot was taken about an hour and a half ahead of the expected timeline.
It is thanks to the actors who ran coolly as if they were possessed without making a single NG.
Taking his eyes off the camera screen, Yang Tae-seok looked at the actor who had just been Private Lee Jin-wook.
Unlike Cha Do-jin, who still can’t get out of the afterglow of emotions, he shed his Lee Jin-wook shell in an instant.
‘The tension is good. Change is fast.’
The main character is Cha Do-jin, but the visuals, atmosphere, and Jung Seo-hoon are slightly dominant.
Perhaps that’s why Cha Do-jin is also acting more passionately than usual.
Tae-seok suddenly laughed.
‘If I suddenly kill him in the middle of episode 2, the viewers will be upset.’
At best, it was good to see that viewers would plaster the bulletin board, wondering where they could kill so quickly after putting in fresh and good actors.
By the time you realize that this is a cunning trap set by the director and writer, you will have already become a unit dedicated to ratings.

The outdoor set was right next to the studio building.
There is no need to use a car, just leave the building and move a little on foot.
The staff busily installed cameras, lights, and rails.
The body is a little tired, but everyone’s expression was good.
There is nothing that brightens the atmosphere on set more than the smooth progress of filming.
Even in the midst of running around, all of them have bright faces.
Jeong Su-ryun glanced at her younger sister even as she ran around.
The younger brother sits in a simple chair with his arms folded and his eyes closed calmly.
‘That’s that, if you look at how he sits, you’d think he’s a top star who has been in the drama for 10 years.’
Among the staff, there is a mixture of curiosity, praise, and liking for the younger brother.
My ears keep itching as I pretend not to know the praises of my flesh and blood.
“Actor Jeong Seo-hoon, isn’t he really too handsome?”
“I think I’m more handsome than actor Cha Do-jin.”
“PD Song really likes a face like that, but since his acting makes me stand up, look at how honey is about to fall from his eyes.”
“They said they brought it because they begged ordinary people not to act.”
“really? If you don’t act with that face, it’s a real waste of talent. PD-nim saved the country.”

No matter how much it is, the chatter that praises the appearance of the younger brother gives goose bumps on the forearm. Wouldn’t it be a bit much if I just praised the acting?
Jeong Su-ryun approached her sister as naturally as possible.
Being conscious of the gaze of others, I asked a very small question.
“Hey, is it worth it?”
“Didn’t you decide to pretend you didn’t know on set?”
“Yes. Are you good at acting?”
“It deserves to be done.”
“You know that if you shoot two more scenes, actor Jeong Seo-hoon’s filming will be over, right? However, you shouldn’t just leave. If a rookie does that on set, there will be gossip about it. Pretend to be studying, watch the seniors act and keep your seat until the end. If possible.”
“I’m going to do that anyway.”
“Is it short? Why are you pretending to be friends all of a sudden?”
“No one listens anymore.”
“What are you talking about?”
“there is. Something like that.”
When I glanced up, no one was paying close attention to me. There is no fear of the conversation leaking out.
‘Does it have eyes on the back of its head?’
***
There was no need for Jeong Seo-hoon to remain on the scene.
For the last scene, Jeong Seo-hoon decided to move separately from the 2nd filming team. Producer Song Jeong-woo does not come, and assistant director Kim Hyun-tae takes over.
After talking on the phone with Ku Guo-man for the last time on the Han River Bridge, he pretended to commit suicide, faking suicide.
This is officially his last shoot.
Jeong Seo-hoon stood on the railing with the safety device on.
“Standby, cue!”
As the camera started rolling, the scenery changed in an instant, as promised.
The 1km-wide Han River disappeared, and the vast sea with rolling waves appeared.
In the distance, a large fortified island is visible.

Numerous landing craft advancing towards the island, nervous and frightened young soldiers.
I vividly remember the moment when I made up my mind to jump into the water.
If it weren’t for the transparent lenses of the cameras observing from all sides, I might have believed that this was the Cordot Sea area.
Staring at the wide trench lines on the beach, the soldier bravely jumped into the water without hesitation.
A faint voice knocks from outside.
– Cut! great!
Lee Jin-wook himself (2)
Why all of his scenes from the script always have the same scene in his memory tho?
