Chapter 30
What did Princess Yeonhwa think as she stood with her back to the sun?
Seoyeon had to think about him for several days.
An actor must be able to understand the role.
Method acting that immerses oneself in emotions ultimately comes from that understanding.
“Usually in such cases it would be easier to think from the role’s perspective right?”
When I asked Yoon Jong-hyuk who was resting while dressed as Prince Jo Yeong he answered that way.
“Well it’s so obvious but it’s the simplest way. Or there is a way to do it by projecting your own experiences… but it must be difficult for Seoyeon who is still young.”
In fact there is no right answer when it comes to acting.
Yoon Jong-hyuk said and stroked Seo-yeon’s head.
I think it was amazing that a young child actor tried to interpret the role in his own way.
“It’s not a good idea to put too much of your own spin on her role.”
And when I asked actress Jeong Eun-seon about her secret she answered like that.
“What’s written in the script. Description and setting of the role. There is detailed information about it. Trying to do more than that is usually greed. In addition The Moon Hiding the Sun is an original work.”
In the case of works with original works fans of the work have no choice but to be more cold-hearted about the interpretation of the characters.
If too much of the actor or director’s subjectivity is involved the character becomes a completely different character.
That’s definitely not the result fans wanted.
However the drama’s viewership is likely to be larger than that of those who have not read the original work.
The original may be mostly correct but I cannot be sure that it will never be wrong.
The reactions of readers and viewers of a novel can be different.
‘Of course it’s a truck as big as dramas that got criticized for adapting novels too much.’
Seoyeon thought about that and shook her head.
Actress Jeong Eun-seon said this even though she is an actress who specializes in method acting.
Maybe they’re saying that since Seoyeon is a child actor it’s greedy for her to do anything more than that.
‘I don’t know.’
In the first place Seoyeon never learned how to act properly.
So she had no choice but to confront herself and ask herself this question.
As Yoon Jong-hyuk said she thought about it from the role’s perspective.
Putting herself in Princess Yeonhwa’s shoes she tried to recall similar experiences.
But funny enough there wasn’t one.
Projecting her past life didn’t help as she didn’t really know how she felt.
Joo Seo-yeon was so young that she had nothing to call experience.
So Seoyeon read the original novel.
She wanted to know how Princess Yeonhwa felt.
She read the script several times.
Emotions were expressed in various forms.
practice
Practice again.
I had no choice but to act and find out what was the right answer.
It’s very difficult.
For young Seoyeon.
She may have been harsh on a child who did not know emotions.
but.
「Seoil.」
Princess Yeonhwa standing with her back to the sun was the moon.
“I believed you would come here.”
Princess Yeonhwa Lee Hyewol said that.
Unlike the way he was angry at Prince Jo Yeong he smiled sadly.
It was such a difficult feeling for young Yoon Seo-il.
Perhaps she doesn’t even know Lee Hye-wol herself.
anger.
Resentment.
Those feelings were not only directed towards Prince Jo Yeong but also towards himself.
“why.”
Yoon Seo-il spoke to Lee Hye-wol.
“Why do you have to leave? “Isn’t this wrong?”
Yun Seo-il said that and soothed him.
He had a lot to say.
“Why on earth!”
However young Yoon Seo-il could not express those feelings and thoughts.
Because he was still a child.
It’s funny to say that he is the son of Daejehak of Sungkyunkwan.
Seo-il’s thoughts and feelings could not be put into words.
“Please don’t leave sir. You must not go. Please don’t leave me behind.”
In the end all that came out of Seo-il’s mouth unable to find the right words was a child’s tantrum.
Of course I know it shouldn’t be done.
Nevertheless young Yoon Seo-il said that.
Don’t leave.
Just like that.
“Seoyeon are you sure you’ll be okay?”
That image overlapped with Su-ah’s words.
Su-ah asked me several times if I was really okay.
And I remembered Youngbin’s face looking at me with worried eyes.
Jonghyuk Yoon said.
If you want to know how a character feels one way is to find out from past experiences.
Luckily.
Seoyeon was in a similar situation to Princess Yeonhwa.
“You can learn while working as a child actor. “This opportunity just happened to come right?”
Producer Ha Tae-oh tried to persuade Seo-yeon.
She said why not try a little more?
Of course the lifespan of child actors can be short and difficult but that is not the case for all.
She asked if it was a waste.
Others wondered if they were really going to let go even after holding in their hands what they dreamed of.
Just one work.
Just one drama.
That’s all Seoyeon did.
With that alone he gained an undeserved amount of fame.
I won’t be this lucky next time.
So PD Ha Tae-oh would also say this.
Of course Seoyeon also knows.
「Seoil.」
Princess Yeonhwa exhaled.
Hyewol Lee closed her eyes.
Joo Seo-yeon closed her eyes.
To Seoyeon emotions were a beautiful aquarium.
She was a small fish tank that wanted to resemble the sea.
“We are still young.”
To Seo-yeon emotions were like the sun reflecting on the surface of the water.
Something dazzlingly bright but unknown.
“There are a lot of things I don’t know.”
The sun reflected on the water certainly resembles the real thing but it is infinitely different.
It’s not warm and if the water surface is disturbed it simply becomes disturbed.
“There are definitely a lot of things you can’t do.”
Seoyeon was now able to walk on the surface of the water.
She could look up at the real sun not the reflection on the water.
She had many things she wanted to do.
Unfortunately for her she is not a very talented person.
She couldn’t handle many things at once.
Remembering her past life.
I could feel the gap between her mind and body growing bigger and bigger.
It will definitely get worse once you hit puberty.
“but.”
Lee Hyewol laughed.
Surely Seoyeon and Princess Yeonhwa may be different.
Princess Yeonhwa who was kicked out by someone else’s will.
There was no way Seoyeon would leave of her own accord.
“We are still young so we have time to learn a lot.”
Seoyeon knew a little bit about how Princess Yeonhwa felt as she read her book.
She is angry and resentful.
It was buried deep in her heart the moment she left.
Young Lee Hyewol had a strong mind.
She is definitely better than Seoyeon.
She said “You will have the opportunity to do many things.”
So even though the situation is different I will say this.
“Because we are still young.”
She didn’t give up.
She will definitely come back.
It was something she could say because she made up her mind that she would come back.
She is like Seoyeon herself.
So right now at this moment.
Seoyeon could act.
She could have been young Lee Hye-wol.
She could soak her body in the sea and look into the deep sea.
Not a false emotion reflected on the surface of the water.
Those deep emotions locked beneath the surface.
Real acting.
“So I promise.”
Lee Hyewol’s voice trembled.
The sun has turned away.
Become the moon that hides the sun.
“certainly”
Lee Hye-wol spoke to her Yoon Seo-il and to herself.
“I will definitely come back.”
Princess Yeonhwa’s lips smiled and trembled slightly.
She had tears streaming down her cheeks.
Hyewol Lee clutched her chest and let out her breath.
“No matter what happens I will definitely come back.”
She smiled at Yoon Seo-il who was looking at her blankly.
“Please don’t forget to wait.”
One step and another.
Lee Hye-wol held out her hand to Yoon Seo-il who stood speechless under the sky reddened by her sunset.
“Will you promise?”
A hand that represents a promise.
“I won’t forget.”
Young Seo-il Yoon.
And young Park Jeong-woo belatedly came to his senses.
‘It’s completely different from the audition.’
It was my first time.
I was fascinated by the performance of the same child actor.
She even forgot her lines and just stared at her opponent’s face.
So Park Jeong-woo.
There was only one thing young Yoon Seo-il could say.
“Yes definitely.”
He just said those words and placed his finger on Princess Yeonhwa’s little finger.
A promise that is extremely childlike.
and.
The screen moves away at once and shows the two of them.
The view of the palace from down the hill.
Queen Eunhye’s sad face.
Finally Grand Prince Jo Yeong is seen sitting on the throne.
like that.
Episode 3 of The Moon that Hidden the Sun has come to an end.
***
“Ha PD….”
KMB Drama Department.
After episode 3 of The Moon that Hidden the Sun there was a quiet silence.
No one could bear to ask what the result was.
I was scared of the posts on the community so I ignored them for a while.
“…It’s awesome.”
Only then did everyone’s eyes move.
The face of an employee holding back a smile.
The viewership ratings that had just been calculated were in front of him.
It was only episode 3.
It was clear that he hoped it would be a big hit.
“oh my god.”
Ha Teo rubbed his eyes.
Because there was a viewership rating displayed there that could not possibly be from episode 3.
***
“Oh….”
Jonghyuk Yoon who had already seen the video once was impressed once again.
While filming this I remembered Seoyeon being depressed for a while.
It was a performance so deeply immersed in emotion.
Currently this is the only acting that Seoyeon can do.
It was a scene that showed it to its limit.
Su-ah who saw that sniffled and wiped away her tears.
“My daughter worked hard.”
My last performance as a child actor.
Thinking like that Su-ah shed tears for no reason.
Seoyeon smiled brightly as she looked at Suah.
“are you okay.”
It’s really okay.
Because I had already thought about what to do.
‘First of all I need to go to a voice acting academy and find an acting academy.’
Of course Seoyeon didn’t know.
Even if it is a voice acting academy how will the acting academy accept Seo-yeon?
Although I felt disappointed there were many things I was looking forward to more than that.
“Senior.”
Jonghyuk Yoon who was watching Seoyeon from a distance said.
“Which one are you senior? The one that says it’s a waste? Or the one that thinks it’s right.”
“well.”
Park Seon-woong muttered after looking at Seo-yeon and her mother Su-ah.
In essence popularity is like a spark.
You never know when the fire will go out so if you don’t keep paying attention to keep it from going out it will die out quickly.
So most people run with all their might when a spark arises.
Until the embers burn out and only black remnants remain.
“Honestly it would be a lie if I said it wasn’t a waste.”
It was an opportunity that everyone wanted to seize.
How many people can let it go so easily?
Of course they both know that Seoyeon has her own circumstances.
There’s no way that smart kid would have made a choice like this.
She probably made this decision because she really couldn’t help it.
However people cannot let go of what they have acquired so easily.
So Park Seon-woong said.
“But sometimes there are people who cannot fade even time.”
Starlight not embers.
Someone who can always shine in that spot without being extinguished.
“I think that kid is probably that type.”
And the world calls such people like this.
It’s called Star.
