Part 2 - 12

Ms. Miho Yoshioka, an up and coming young actress made an appearance as a teacher. Because we could not adjust our schedules to meet beforehand, this was virtually the first time we met each other.

She seemed like a pure, fresh, intelligent and well brought up lady – unaffected in a positive sense. She is probably the type that changes according to each work. She also gives the impression of being not particularly skillful, but passionate. Seo Jae Kyeong,playing Min Su shows his deftness as an actor by inserting effective ad libs even in the short scenes. His friendly smile and kindness, good instincts and dexterity, remind me of Ei-chan (Japanese actor Eiichiro Funakoshi).　I can tell that he gives good advice to Lee Tae Sung　even in the trivial parts. Come to think of it, Ei-chan like Seo Jae Kyeong is a son of an actor, too.


There was an unexpected accident, where the students who were participating as extras went home in the middle of shooting for some reason, but we were somehow able to finish before sun down.

After splitting up for awhile, we again assembled at Shin Okubo Station at 10 in the evening. We shot the scene with the actors and extras all dressed in winter clothing.
We finished shooting a total of 9 cuts including the intense scene with the mob. There were moments when we were able to capture great expressions shown by Lee Tae Sung　.
That was the end of our shooting of live-action. The rest depends on the editing of the CGs.

We finally got back to the hotel when the sky was starting to turn white. Thanks for the hard work, staff and cast!
