Today, I just want to appreciate the people that work hard behind closed doors to produce a work of art that we can enjoy. And of course I have a hidden agenda. @skirt you’ll understand.
Thanks for sharing this!! Seconding your appreciation of the team that work behind the scenes to create art. And I love listening to creators talking about the behind the scenes process, so am enjoying this video lots!
This is interesting. I had no idea before how isolated the work of editors from the rest of the production team. I’ve always thought that at least the PD would sit beside the editor in the editing room, scouring through the many takes. We always talk about transitions between scenes. How many of the ideas come from the director? How about the execution, shooting the montage and shots needed for it, and relaying the ideas to the editors? Or is it vice versa? I also think the work of an editor is to maintain the overall balance of the one-hour episode. You have to properly intersperse the fancy shots throughout the whole episode, not only concentrating on certain parts. What about thriller dramas? You have to really know how to build the tension, making sure not to add anything that may tip the balance. Also, you have to be updated with the latest advancement in film technology. How much of the work should be delegated to the cinematographer? I am sure there are many software nowadays that helps with the process but the finer parts of it? How long you should stay on the scene/shot to deliver the scene effectively and stir the appropriate emotion? Because every timeframe counts. It must have taken a lot of time, effort, and experience to produce a good edit. I think there is no end if I start thinking about their work. I mean, yeah every job in the world is a challenge. However, it must have been a huge responsibility for them as a drama is the fruit of labour of thousands of people involved in it.
On a lighter note, hehe… Of course, Shi-mok is a revelation. I cannot help thinking in the hands of lesser actors, Shi-mok will be quite one-dimensional. I can imagine someone else portraying him as cold and emotionless due to his medical condition. But I’ve never once thought he is emotionless; instead, I found him a bit like a child. He is always curious and there is a child-like innocence and one-track-mindedness in how he approaches people. Props to the actor playing him, everyone knows who.
Couldn’t agree more about Shi Mok being played by the actor. I think I won’t love Shi Mok this MUCH if he were played differently: the gait, the tone, the attitude, and pretty much everything about him.
Thanks for sharing this (plus I’m a fan of Song Yoon-ah).
This editor is definitely a master on her own – having edited all the classics like FoS, My Ahjusshi, Miseang and Under the Queen’s Umbrella. Not surprised at her nominating Cho Seung-won as the best actor but Im Si-wan being named is quite something.
I liked her movie Wedding Dress. I bawled my eyes out watching them. Im Si Wan in Misaeng was Good! I think he is the best idol actor to this day. He picks various roles and actually pretty good at it. Sometimes I can feel even some actors (not only idol) wanting to look good in front of camera, but not him. I respect that from him.
I’ve watched it for a while and still I find myself in awe at her dedication. We mostly know PD, but not the editor who’s actually responsible for the final process before it’s served to us. It’s very unfortunate they can’t interact with actors.

And he has really tried different genres and varying roles – good on him.
