    When a dumb man gets jealous for attention and opens his mouth 😑

      It is ironic that nobody had told on him, and he did it himself!

    If the translations of his comments are accurate, that is just shocking.

    I understand a part of his interview. Kim Hye-Yoon had to play Sol at different stades of her life. She has the perfect energy for the young and bubbly Sol. But 34 years old Sol was older than KHY and I guess the PD wanted a more feminin and collected image. You often see actors/actresses monitoring their performance to see if the angle of their face is the best during a kiss scene or things like that. So I guess, it’s what he was expecting from her.

    The issue is why he needed to be harsh about it? I mean he’s the PD he just could ask politely or explaining to her. She nailed the acting part, so he could have been grateful for that instead to be a jerk.

    “But Kim Hye Yoon carried the whole show on her back, no? Yoon should’ve paid more attention to directing the male lead’s acting. Also… If we’re going to talk about appearances, it’s not like the male lead is all that breathtaking either.”

    Damn, this knetz went OFF.

    That director is disgusting. I can’t believe he continue to be disrespectful to Kim Hye Yoon when she was the most amazing actor among the cast. I am glad he doesnt know when to shut his mouth and showed the world he is awful.

      His privilege, ignorance and arrogance are in full display. Women are just pieces of meat and are ornamental at best. This is what misogyny is all about. We never ever hear such comments about men whether it is in SK or elsewhere. These views and comments are reserved for women so that they can be belittled and reminded that men have the upper hand. This creep is deliberately humiliating her publicly as well because he believes he can get away with it. May he be proven wrong.

    Ew WTF?! Again it might be translation but when he goes from she was a daughter to me but now woman sounds really gross. She’s an actor doing her job not his fucking muse. Ew

    Thanks so much for this.

    “But Kim Hye Yoon carried the whole show on her back, no? Yoon should’ve paid more attention to directing the male lead’s acting. Also… If we’re going to talk about appearances, it’s not like the male lead is all that breathtaking either.”

    This was exactly my reaction. How harsh was he to his male actors? Or all they had to do is to saunter on the sets? KHY shone in everything she did so far in her career, and she looked feminine enough in all of them, while BSW was barely noticeable in anything before this. SMH. Wow!

    The bold part at the beginning about him being harsh to her… this knetz reaction seems like the typical case of blowing up a non existent issue…

    What the director seems to say is that 19 yr old and 34 yr old have to come out different… 19 yr old girl is a girl, daughter… 34 has to be mature woman.. and FL had to transform to convince the same..

    Seems like he is talking about the process of doing that and he is praising the actress to take the feedback and work on it.

    It is apparent in BTS clips that the ambience was a happy ambience… you can’t give your best if you are unhappy..that too for a project in making for 3 years

      Oh, yep. Just ordinary, common place misogyny. Just the “Knetz” overreacting. Why worry about such a small problem. SMDH.

        What misogyny…

        This is not new when knetz, or netz.. or people online tend to misinterpret things…

          Forget about the “Knetz”. Did you read the PD’s comments? This is my last reply to you but his interview is replete with denigrating and hateful comments about KHY looks and how he regards her. Thinking critically is a useful skill. Try and develop it.

            You should have read the original comment to see what part i referenced.. no need to act so rude just because i am not buying your narrative

            I have clearly mentioned what i referenced.. i am not sure if you are reading something extra which is forming your opinion .. if so go ahead and share it..

            But, i would appreciate you refraining from name calling .. because the 1 para i see does not convince me of your narrative and given it is a translation there is a reasonable doubt of people blowing it out of proportion ( what i understood , i have already mentioned… and i didn’t see any ill intent but him saying that 19 yr old has to be diff. from 34 yr old)

      Sol began as a 34 year old fan. She did just fine being both without the director’s misogynistic take on her ‘beauty and femininity’. Did the director forget that Sol was 19 only in very few selected frames (most notably in that cringe video and a few scenes where she ran away from Sunjae) and she did it so effortlessly that we had no issues differentiating both even though she was in same clothes and same make up? The high point was that bus scene where she pretends to be 19 year old but we as audience know she had not travelled back, that she was only pretending.

      In fact, there were many scenes where it was hard to differentiate between the 19 Sun and 34 Sun because he behaved the same in both cases. It was easy to set them apart because they dressed him up only in coats and suits as the older Sunjae, where as they did very little to set Sol apart. I am happy for BWS but KHY definitely didn’t need to doll up or look feminine. I do not know what he was smoking or even directing at this point. It was a weird interview.

    Me too. I have been ropeable since I read his revolting comments. To mistreat and disrespect her publicly and privately while BWS is being feted all over the place is the epitome of misogyny.
