Yeon-gyeong promptly left the house.
.
.
"Hey! Jo Yeon-gyeong!"
.
Yeon-woo chased after her, a part of her is unsure what to do, but she knew that she should at least try and catch up.
.
.
.
Unfortunately for her, the athletically gifted Yeon-gyeong outran her by a huge margin.
.
.
.
Yeon-woo stood in the empty road as night approaches.
.
.
.
The room's silence was broken by Director Jung, he clapped and praised our performance.
.
"Thank you for actress Jang Hye-jin and Kim Ha-na."
.
Writer Kim spoke as well, "Both of them acted it well."
.
.
.
Jang Hye-jin wiped at her slightly glistening eyes.
.
.
I smiled and bowed slightly at the feedbacks.
.
.
There are a few suggestions about how we could improve the scene further, but it seems to go smoothly.
.
I wrote everything necessary down.
.
.
.
People tend to think that a drama production is dramatic and filled with conflicts, but honestly most of the time it was just like that.
.
.
.
If there were conflicts it's usually more hidden and subtle. As a bystander you just have to look the other way lest you be implicated.
.
.
.
There are exceptions though and if you are unlucky, you might meet someone with a few screws loose
.
.
.
Huh?
.
What's with that glare?
.
.
It disappeared quickly, but I caught it since he is sitting right in front of me.
.
.
.
Hmm....That kid, what's his name again?
.
I wasn't paying attention when he introduced himself.
.
.
...
...
...
.
We finished the script reading after a few hours.
.
I greeted everyone before we parted. Actress Jang Hye-jin seemed really fond of her newfound on screen sister.
.
I guess it's good to establish a decent off screen relation with her, since it would help with building chemistry.
.
But when the filming ends, it'll be good to have nothing to do with each other.
.
.
.
You know the thing they say about the less you know the better?
.
.
It was probably like that for her.
.
.
I greeted everyone as we left the room.
.
.
.
My mom and I sang through some songs on our way back.
.
We laughed so much.
.
It feels amazing to be this happy.
.
...
...
...
.
The shoot officially starts in 2nd February 200X.
.
.
We will shoot some of the necessary footage, the rest will be live shot during the airing time. It will be a very tight schedule.
.
.
Daily dramas are typically done in this way.
.
.
The positive is that the drama could be adjusted according to audience reception, the negative is that everything could be changed at any moment, which might end up with more work for us.
.
.
However, this is a stage that provides good opportunity for actors.
.
If you can appeal to the audience properly, your screentime could increase, sometimes astronomically so.
.
I've seen second leads nearly rivaling the main leads in screentime and how some supporting roles become so loved they moved to a different level.
.
.
It wasn't that common for support roles, but it was definitely possible to achieve such things.
.
.
.
As for me, there is no need to be nervous when you simply have to go through a path that you passed before.
.
...
...
...
.
The winter scenes are going to be shot first, afterwards as the winter went away, the spring scenes will be shot.
.
It's like the title, about that period between coldness and love.
.
That period of getting to know someone and to start again.
.
.
That's so dramatic.
.
.
In that sense, it's a suitable title.
.
.
.
But after the spring, you must remember that there is the blazing summer waiting.
.
.
...
...
...
.
The first scene that will be shot is the first meeting between the leads.
.
.
Both Jang Hye-jin and Park Sang-hyeon seemed particularly tense today.
.
In fact, everyone seemed tense.
.
It puts even more pressure towards the main leads. A lot of eyes are on them since this is the first shoot.
.
.
.
And that's not all for them, they have a lot on their plate.
.
.
They have to prepare for the promotions and all that stuff.
.
.
.
It was a tiring process, one that would soon feel even worse because of the load of shooting.
.
.
The 200X version of me would never say this, but I'm glad that I don't have to do all those.
.
.
For one thing or another being famous is a burden, and it became increasingly clear to me.
.
.
Being so tired for the sake of fame no longer seemed worth it.
.
.
.
Doing splendid work and being acknowledged for it while having ample money and less recognition is a dream life.
.
.
.
However, when you had no acknowledgement and even lesser fame, it just becomes difficult to continue on the path of an actress.
.
.
Ah, but they really seemed nervous don't they?
.
Some people often say that the first shoot sets the vibe of the entire shooting process.
.
I don't really agree with such saying, I've seen dramas that start out nice but ended up flopping to their death and also dramas that barely managed to scrap by in the beginning obtaining big wins.
.
.
However, prolonged mistakes and slump happening in the first shoot could infect the others.
.
.
After both leads have taken their position, Director Jung started the shoot with an 'Action!'.
.
.
.
.
.
After this scene was finished, I left immediately.
.
.
It's not the time for my scenes yet, but it was nice to visit the crew to politely support the main leads.
.
.
.
Since my grandmother suddenly got really sick, my mom went to take a look at her.
.
Thus, I was alone for today.
.
.
While I was heading to the bus stop, I felt watched.
.
.
It wasn't an unfamiliar feeling, after all I was an actress and if there was anything about being one it is that you will be watched all the time on set.
.
.
.
However this feeling occured in a nearly empty parking lot, with the people around me being busy with their own things.
.
.
.
.
What was this feeling?
.
It's like having a camera pointed at me.
