haru*hana Vol. 33: OX (Yes & No) Question!

 

Q1) When you look at your own acting, you feel there is improvement. [YES]
Personally, I’m still not very good at acting, still awkward, and i know that I’m still lacking a lot as an actor. Still, i think i have improved in the basics as compared to before, in things like pronunciation and vocalization. This time, instead of acting in a forcibly and unnatural manner, i worked hard on acting through my eyes expression. Even though it’s still not good enough, there were also parts of which i have failed in, but in respect to my intention and efforts to work on my eyes expression, i feel there is improvement.

 

Q2) It was really exhausting to film in Hanbok under the heat. [YES]
It was really tough. Because of that, i ate a lot of nutritious food and food that keeps my health in good shape. I even joked to the staff saying something like “Use up all of my acting fees to spend on food if you need, in view Continue reading

[SCANS/Trans] Changmin for JP Magazine “K-Drama Guide Magazine” Vol. 61(Released 151022)

 

[TRANS] TVXQ Changmin Interview on Korean TV Drama Guide Magazine.

 

Q: Why did you choose this drama as your last work before enlisting?
A: Out of all the offers I received, the original book (the basis of the drama) was already very popular and the synopsis was interesting to me. Especially, the character, Lee Yoon was captivating and I felt that he had something deep inside of him. He has various sides to him; the jocular, playboy side, and the elegance as the crown prince’s son. I was fascinated by the various faces he had and that’s how I came about to take this offer.

Q: During the first-half, the true identity of Lee Yoon is not evident and he is portrayed as a playful character. But as the story progresses, his dignity as the successor is revealed. Which side of him matches your personality in real life?
A: I guess it would be Yoon during the first-half of the story. In the modern days, I don’t think there’re much people who have a heavy, successor-like aura on a regular basis. Personally, it’s better for me to just take it easy.

Q: Did you discover anything relatable when portraying this character? Continue reading
