Chapter 110 – Official Promotional Video for the Drama

“Hello. This is announcer Naju-ri.”
“Hello. I am actor Jin Seon-hoo who played the role of ‘Hwang Jin-woo’ in ‘Flowers, You and I’.”

50% tension, 30% anticipation, 20% excitement.
I play such a rookie actor.

You don’t have to be special.
As usual, all you have to do is act ‘ordinary Jin Seon-hu’.
Jin Seon-hu, who seems like a keut, but is sincere and pure.
Trust me.

“Actor Jin Seon-hoo said that this is your first work?”
“Yes. ‘Flowers and You and I’ is my debut film.”

“I heard that Hwang Jin-woo is the male lead in this drama. He has been assigned an important role since his first work, do you feel any pressure?”
“There is pressure, of course. However, as much as you believed in me and entrusted me with an important role, I will repay you with my best performance.”

“Originally, the role of Hwang Jin-woo was supposed to be played by Joo Jung-hwan, right?”
“Ah… Yes.”

“This time, actor Joo Jung-hwan got off the job due to an unfortunate incident and entered the position. Was it a scheduled position from the beginning?”
“No. On the day the news broke, I auditioned on the spot and was cast.”

“On the spot casting?”
“Yes. I was just at the shooting site.”

“What happened to the filming site that day?”
“Actually, my mother is filming. I came with you.”

“Mother? Who are you?”
“Yes. This is actress Im Im-hye.”

“Ah! Is Seonhoo the son of actress Im Im-hye?!”
“Yes. That’s right.”

“Oh my god. If you look at it, I think you look alike. Eyes or lips.”
“Haha. Thank you.”

“But the fact that this is your first work means you weren’t an actor before.”
“Yes. Yes.”

“Then how did you end up auditioning?”
“The drama itself was in danger of falling apart if we couldn’t find a new actor right after the actor I mentioned earlier left.
Because we had to re-film all the male protagonists.
I’ve seen my mother prepare hard for this drama, so I wanted to prevent such a situation somehow.
So I thought about what I could do to help and applied for an audition.”

“So you suddenly passed the audition you applied for?”
“Yes. Thankfully, the judges seemed to appreciate it.”

“I heard that you passed by unanimous vote. I didn’t even prepare for the audition in advance, so how could that be?”
“Actually, I didn’t prepare for the audition itself, but I was memorizing the script for ‘Flower Party’. I have been practicing the script with my mother at home.”

“A script practice? If it’s your mother, how about actress Im Im-hye?”
“Yes. In fact, I have been practicing the script consistently since I was in elementary school.”

“Then, since you were little, you followed your mother in following your dream of becoming an actor, right?”
“Not necessarily. The first time I started reading the script was for the purpose of treatment.”

“Treatment? What treatment?”
“Actually, I had some mental problems. Even now, there are times when it doesn’t get better.”

“Really? You don’t look like that at all.”
“Thank you. Actually, there was a time when I collapsed and worried my mother.”

“Ah! A delicacy by any chance?!”
“Yes. Smile is my sister.”

“I see! That’s right! Idol group Spring’s Jinmiso’s mother learned Im Im-hye! Then actor Jin Seon-hu and Mi-so are brother and sister! She had no idea!”
“Haha.”

“Oh my god. Then, the collapsed brother in the video at that time is the actor Seon-Hoo Jin, right? I saw that video too.”
“Ah yes.”

“At that time, a lot of people were worried. Me too. Are you okay now?”
“Yes. I took medicine and received treatment, so now I am much better.”

“Ah, I’m glad. Exactly where did you not like it?”
“Something like PTSD or panic disorder…”

“PTSD? What happened? Accident or something?”
“Actually, it’s because I came from an abused child protection center.”

“Abused children?!”
“Yes. I was entrusted to the center when I was 6 years old, and now I am adopted by my mother, actress Im Im-hye.”
“Ah…”

“Then that. Hmmm. Sorry. Did you start practicing the script to treat that disorder?”
“Yes. Even though my mother was busy, she practiced the script with me for my treatment. That’s how I started and I’ve been doing it until now.”

“Was the script exercise effective in therapy?”
“Yes. If it hadn’t worked, I wouldn’t be where I am today. When I was little, I stuttered really badly. There is a thing called drama therapy, and I think you can see it as something similar.”

“When you were young, you probably wanted to go out and play, but wasn’t it difficult to practice the script?”
“Not at all. Even though I thought acting was difficult, I never thought that it was painful. I was happy just doing things with my mother.”

“You seem to have a really good relationship with your mother. Even though you are talking, the affection is dripping down.”
“Yes. I think we get along better than most of the average mother and son. Because my mother treated me better than a real son.”

“With the acting I learned from my mother, showing up and saving me at the moment of crisis! It really is more like a drama than a drama!”
“It’s hard to say that I still got it. Filming has only just begun. I hope you can really save it by producing good results.”

“Praise the director and other actors too. The smoke is not normal. They say it’s like a veteran actor who has acted for 20 years.”
“I am ashamed to be acting as I was taught by my mother. I think they were kind to me because I’m a newcomer.”

“Actress Lim Im-hye often appears in dramas as her mother. How do you compare your real mother to the one in the drama? Are you similar?”
“My mother, actress Im Im-hye, mainly appears in dramas as villains, and since she is so good at her acting, many people think that her real personality is like that too. But she’s not like that at all, she’s actually a very amiable and really kind mother.”

“Isn’t that what you’re saying because you’re afraid you’ll get scolded when you go home?”
“Haha. Absolutely not.”

“Then let’s talk about the drama. Actor Jin Seon-hoo, what do you think is the charm of this drama, ‘Flower Dangna’?”
“First of all, the story is really interesting. The acting of the actors who lead the story is also great. The main character, Kim Sun-ah, is also cool. She has a bubbly personality and is sincere when she is serious, and I think she is a very attractive character.”

“What kind of character is Hwang Jin-woo playing?”
“He’s talented, handsome, cool, cold on the outside, but warm on the inside. He’s a hot guy.”

“Do you think you are handsome and cool?”
“It’s not me, it’s Hwang Jin-woo.”

“Haha. Yes. Then in terms of personality, what is it like to be cold but hot?”
“A cold-blooded man who judges and pushes ahead more calmly than anyone else when it comes to work. However, when it comes to the woman he loves, he is a hot-blooded man. I think that is Hwang Jin-woo.”

“So, what happens when work and women collide? Your work is important, am I important? Such a situation?”
“Even in a real-life drama, there is a scene in which the heroine Kim Sun-ah appears as her business partner and conflicts at work. I am torn between work efficiency and the woman I love. It would be nice if you could confirm what conclusion Hwang Jin-woo will make in the drama.”

“Could you show Hwang Jin-woo’s acting briefly?”
“Ah yes. Then would you please wake up?”

“How, like this?”
“Yes. This is the scene where Hwang Jin-woo and Kim Sun-ah first reunite in a drama.”

I put the announcer up against the wall and put my arm on the wall.

Thud.

“… Are you okay?”
“Ah.”

The scene of helping Sun-ah when the glass door closed was reenacted against the announcer.

“And. I liked the short and thick acting. I was surprised. This is learning.”

The announcer sighs and sweeps his chest.

“You said that this was the first reunion scene between Hwang Jin-woo and Kim Sun-ah, right? Is Hwang Jin-woo saving Kim Seon-ah?”
“It would be nice if you could confirm that on the air.”

“I really want to see it. I am very curious.”
“Thank you.”

“In this drama, I got to work with two wonderful actresses, Shin Ji-hye and Hwang Soo-ah. Which of the two of you is your ideal type?”
“Um, if I have to say, my ideal type is actress Im Im-hye.”

“Haha. You get out like that again.”
“Really.”

“Do you have any girlfriends?”
“No. Doesn’t exist.”

“Really? Do you have a hidden girlfriend? If I really said no, my girlfriend would be disappointed.”
“Not really.”

“Then what is your ideal type? He is a favorite celebrity or something.”
“As I said earlier, actress Im Im Hye is my ideal type…”

“It is like that again. Then what do you think of the announcer?”
“Haha. That doesn’t seem like something in the script.”

“It’s my job to listen to what viewers are curious about.”
“Ah, yes.”

“So. How about this?”
“Yes? What?”

“I’m the announcer.”
“Ah… I never really thought about it.”

“How do you feel when you see it now?”
“Right now, I am concentrating on filming the drama, so I don’t have time to think about anything else.”

“Even with a sincere attitude, you look more and more cool?”
“Thank you.”

“Please tell me about your determination for this work.”
“‘Flowers and You and I’ is a work that feels like destiny to me. I sincerely thank the director, production crew, and actors who gave me this opportunity, and my mother who opened the way for me to become an actress.”

“Lastly, I would like to ask the viewers a word.”
“Yes. A lot of people are working hard to make good works, so I think you can look forward to it. Just as ‘Flower Dangna’ was a work of fate for me, I hope it will be a work of destiny for you as well. ‘Flowers and You and Me’. I look forward to. Thank you.”

“I have met Jin Seon-hoo, who plays the main character, Hwang Jin-woo, in ‘Flowers, You and I’. I was Naju-ri, the announcer. Thank you.”
