Kdrama actors are masters of the technique of crying out of just one eye. I wonder if there are left-eye weepers and right-eye weepers, the way people can be either left-handed and right-handed.

    I’ve also wondered how they trained their tear ducts to just flow from 1 side.

    I came to the conclusion after similarly wondering that some crying scenes have been CGI’d as it is implausible that tears could fall so fast and in volume as in some absurd scenes. I wonder if the ‘one-eyed crying’ is a byproduct of that as maybe it is too expensive to do both eyes?

      It is no longer an assumption anymore. The editor of several great shows like FoS, My Mister, UTQU said so herself in her interview. I very much believe so. But in that same interview actress Song Yun Ah said that it wasn’t that easy to shed tears from both eyes. so glad they can CGI that part now.

        All the more reason to appreciate all the actors who were able to nail their crying scenes before the advent of CGI!

    I also noticed it, which takes me out of the moment because it makes me laugh at the fake tears.

    Crying can actually become a VERY controlled skill—down to the very moment a person wants their tear(s) to drop— as I have learned from watching too many bts clips of C-dramas and listening to C-actors and C-actresses talk and and share their thoughts as they are doing a run down-rehearsal of a scene or re-filming scenes (not because there was an NG in the first take, but because the actor/actress or director might want another take for one reason or another to make the scene better, for the emotions of a scene come out better)
