After 4 years, the beautiful Song Hye Kyo has finally returned to the TV screen. On the KBS2 drama "Worlds Within", she acts a confident woman director called Joo Joon Young. "Worlds Within" is a drama about the world of the "entertainment people" in Korea. In the drama, Song Hye Kyo's character Joo Joon Young often uses the phrase "How annoying!"; no matter if she is thinking of someone or reacting over a good movie script, she always says, "How annoying!". However, when things are satisfactorily resolved, Joo Joon Young will secretly laugh to herself. This kind of role is very different from the roles that Song Hye Kyo usually acts. Perhaps it is because there is too big of a difference between this role and Song Hye Kyo's roles in the past, so the public cannot accept the fact that she is taking this role. Because of this, Song Hye Kyo's ability to act was brought to attention. Not long ago, the media went to "World Within"'s shooting scene and conducted an interview with SHK. Song Hye Kyo is a very straightforward person, which is quite similar to some attributes of Joo Joon Young. During the interview, Hye Kyo answered each of the media's questions patiently and sincerely, and cleared up doubts about her acting skills. Q: You haven't filmed a drama in so long; what are your feelings and thoughts about filming "World Within"? SHK: This drama has a very beautiful storyline, so I always told myself, "You must do well, you must do well." Soon, I started feeling pressure. Now, thought, I've adjusted nicely, and my acting is getting better. Q: The wonderful storyline and script of the drama became the source of your pressure? SHK: Even though my acting experience is not short, and I acted in many dramas, I never came across a drama with such a wonderful storyline like "World Within". When I was figuring out and looking over the script lines, I constantly said [to myself], "Yeah, if it were me, I would say that too!" More specifically, each script line brought out a sympathetic response from me. The storyline is too good! I am always afraid that I will not be able to interpret it very well. Maybe because of that, I think the filming of this drama is very tough, and I don't think I dealt with the dialogue very well... Q: Are you saying that the role of Joo Joon Young is very difficult to act? SHK: When I first saw the lines, I thought the lines were very realistic and normal, but when I was actually filming, saying the lines naturally was not that easy. I'm used to acting devastated when I say devastated lines, and acting sorry when I say regretful lines. But one day, the writer suddenly came over to me and said, "When you face loved ones, is it really supposed to be that easy to say 'I'm sorry' or 'I love you'?". It's truly not easy. Even though you are saying "I'm sorry" on the surface, you have to actually feel sorry from the bottom of your heart. This is what I have to practice acting. Truthfully, I needed some time to adjust to it. When I was filming the third episode, I felt nervous during the filming. However, in the fourth episode, I was much more relaxed. Q: What do you feel about the ratings for "World Within"? SHK: *laughs* Can I tell the truth? There's a lot of people saying right now, "Song Hye Kyo is over.", "Song Hye Kyo is definitely going to fail."...if this was said before, I might have been extremely depressed, to the point where I would not want to film it anymore. But this time, I don't have any feelings of failure. Last week, "World Within"'s rating rose 1%. I told that Hyun Bin that if the ratings rose to 10%, we should organize a party to celebrate. Really, though, during the filming of this show, I received a lot of things. That is very precious to me. If you act in one drama that has ratings that surpassed 50%, it's nearly impossible to act in another drama with the same luck. Q: You received a lot of things? SHK: During this drama, I met Pyo Min Su for the first time. She said that every time you recite a line, it gives people a different feeling. In the drama, I act a director, and personally got to see Pyo Min Su act through the camera. It was a really great sight! She is really an actress worth respecting. Lee Da In, Kim Gab Soo...they are all old co-actors that are worth respecting. To be able to act and learn with them is probably a one in a lifetime chance. When Pyo Min Su consoled me by saying, "Don't worry, I was also not used to the script.", the only thing left in my heart was a goal; to work hard and learn from them. Q: What is "World Within"'s greatest charm? SHK: It's very natural, and not fake. It perfectly described the personality of a Korean entertainment business woman, and properly illustrates our daily lives in the public circle. Q: What kinds of inspiration do you want to give people through Joo Joon Young? SHK: You have to be persistent in what you are searching for. Even if you are over the front of thorns, you must not back down. You have to use your ideas and courage to go forward, and don't think about the result. As long as you try, it doesn't matter. Q: Most people think that your unclear articulation is the greatest failure of this series. How do you look at this problem? SHK: When you are reciting lines when you are extremely happy...isn't it hard to avoid being unclear? The public's comments and points are what I should take to heart seriously, but those people who purposefully attack me this way; I can't take it. I will definitely show the world an improved Song Hye Kyo. Source: Sina Translated by: ♥cheri♥ @ asianfanatics.net
