To be honest, Jiyeon had many inner misgivings about filming *Miss Gyeongseong* this time.
That burden wasn't about the genre of the film.
Or the pressure of being the protagonist.
It was nothing like that.
Purely, she just felt burdened about filming with Seoyeon.
"Weren't you two on good terms?"
So when Jiyeon first practiced to pass the audition, she frequently asked Jo Seohee for help.
Even after passing, she mostly received Jo Seohee's advice.
At those times, Seohee would grumble while saying so.
"That's separate from being on good terms."
"What are you even talking about?"
"Hey, Jo Seohee. Do you really have a lot of friends?"
Of course, Seohee found Jiyeon's reaction frustrating.
Actually, Seohee doesn't have many friends her age.
She just has many connections in the industry.
Yes, connections.
But if you ask if connections are friends, they're not.
That was unavoidable.
From the start, Seohee's environment was one where she couldn't have many friends.
The people around her were all children of chaebol families, and she was always on edge worrying that information about herself might spread.
Ironically, the peers Seohee treated without being prickly were people she met through Seoyeon.
For example, Park Jungwoo, and Lee Jiyeon.
For Seohee, who was generally disarmed around such people, Jiyeon's behavior of seemingly building walls felt strange.
"Isn't it because you're afraid of disappointing her?"
Of course, she must have already seen her acting.
After all, she was shown to the public through the special drama.
Naturally, if it's Seoyeon, she would have already seen Jiyeon's acting.
Actually, they had talked about it a few times like casual conversation.
Saying which parts were good, which were bad.
But watching on TV and filming together directly are different, aren't they?
For Jiyeon too, facing Seoyeon's wholehearted acting on set was a first.
And, she thought she had become somewhat used to it while filming *Miss Gyeongseong*.
But.
"You, you're trying to die."
A chilling voice of Yuina is heard.
Yuina, who had been showing a great presence until now.
But compared to any other time, it couldn't compare to now.
"Why? Weren't you satisfied? You obtained everything?"
Yuina, pushing forward as if half-strangling her, pressed Michiko with those red eyes and spoke.
"Ah, right. Were the things I so wanted to obtain meaningless to you? So even after obtaining everything, you're not satisfied? Because you feel like there's nothing left even when you hold it in your hands?"
All of Yuina's words were a continuous stream of dialogue.
Probably, it directly represented Yuina's own confusion.
It's not simply because she noticed Michiko trying to die.
The doubts about herself that arose here.
And the anger felt at Michiko's appearance.
She must have felt confusion in all those aspects.
"You were always like that."
Yuina muttered like a low beast's growl.
"You always come to your own selfish conclusions."
Actually, the parts Seoyeon couldn't understand about Yuina were these things.
Her emotions.
Not just the things related to love.
Yuina's actions were generally full of contradictions.
Despite having set up Yeon Seonye to kill Michiko, when she actually sees Michiko trying to commit suicide, she stops her.
Despite trying to discard Yeon Seonye to use her, she ended up easily giving her affection.
Despite knowing long ago that Isamu was using her, she lived desperately denying it.
That series of appearances was unfamiliar to Seoyeon.
Because to her, emotions were intuitive things.
If you're happy, you're happy.
If you're sad, you're sad.
Especially, most of Yuina's actions were based on love.
The emotion Seoyeon was most unfamiliar with.
'Isn't love a positive emotion?'
Because Seoyeon vaguely thought so, she couldn't understand Yuina who kept showing negative attitudes.
But, to such Seoyeon, Yeohui said this:
"It's not necessarily positive."
"Is that so?"
"People who live thoughtlessly like me are rare."
If there's lingering attachment, it means she can't give up that emotion.
Living while continuously holding onto it is difficult.
"The Yuina you spoke of is a child with a lot of affection."
Because she has a lot of affection, she's a greedy girl with many things she doesn't want to give up.
Actually, Yuina's age in the work is nineteen.
She was still young and could easily be swayed emotionally.
"It's simply that the surrounding environment made it impossible for Yuina to act otherwise."
Yuina is a villain, but also a victim.
After hearing such stories, Seoyeon watched many works.
She even rewatched things she had already seen.
So, there were new things to see.
'That's right.'
Especially, as she reconsidered the lingering attachments of her past life, she came to understand the script more deeply.
And, the moment she saw Jo Seohee's acting right before her eyes, she could perfectly realize it.
Honestly speaking, Yuina's emotions in the script were not this extreme reaction.
Yuina, who learned that Michiko was trying to die, grabs her collar and sneeringly says:
'You, trying to die even after obtaining everything like a fool? How stupid.'
That was roughly the feeling.
Of course, the emotion contained in that heart wasn't much different from Seoyeon's acting now.
But the attitude was different.
Sneering and anger are completely different.
But, the moment she saw Jo Seohee's acting, Seoyeon, who had already immersed herself in Yuina, couldn't help but act that way.
Because she clearly thought Yuina would be angry at this time.
'The connection between Yuina and Michiko is deep.'
It was a connection that could once have been called friendship.
In the movie, that setting isn't greatly revealed, but considering their environment, their relationship might have been surprisingly special.
If Yuina had an affectionate personality, she would absolutely not have been able to forget the past.
What if.
Yes, what if.
If the mother from her past life, whom she met again, had an unhappy face, wouldn't she be angry?
Saying, you obtained what you wanted in this life that you desired in your past life, what is there to be dissatisfied about?
'Of course, she probably wouldn't have even known the meaning of that anger.'
Coincidentally, the face Jo Seohee showed through acting was familiar to Seoyeon.
Because it was the expression her past life's mother always wore.
Probably, that's why it was.
That Seoyeon immersed herself in Yuina in an instant.
***
The people on the set held their breath.
Director Baek Min raised his hand and then lowered it.
The script and emotional line had changed.
He doesn't like acting that deviates from his intention.
'How many times is this now?'
But while filming this movie, he had already made several exceptions.
The first was actor Lee Sangsoo's acting, and the subsequent filming of Yuina was also like that.
And again like this.
It's not just Seoyeon.
In Jo Seohee's eyes facing Seoyeon, fire could also be seen rising.
This also wasn't the Michiko's emotion he intended.
But... it wasn't a wrong interpretation.
'Yuina and Michiko knew each other in the past.'
They share such a setting.
How close their friendship was doesn't appear in detail in the script.
But, considering their environment, there was a feeling that the two were friends.
Furthermore, considering the genre of this movie, it might have been a deeper relationship.
Director Baek Min was also aware of that intention to some extent.
'I didn't intend this part, but...'
The greatest strength of Seoyeon's acting is acting that reveals deep emotions.
You can tell just by looking at how she employed method acting during her child actress days.
She showed such aspects in *The Chaser* too, and after that, she didn't particularly take on such roles.
But today's Yuina, though I don't know if it was Seoyeon's intention, was clearly in a state immersed in the role.
More than any other time.
So, Seohee's reaction naturally comes out as well.
"What do you know about me?"
A sharp voice.
She grabs Yuina's hair, who is gripping her collar, with both hands and pulls.
Michiko's eyes, which had only shown a noble appearance until now, turn sharp.
A faintly trembling voice reveals the anger contained in Michiko's actions.
"How funny, Yuina. If you wanted to kill me that much, you should be happy. I'm saying I'll return everything I took from you."
"It's been like that since we were young. You think too much uselessly, and you think you're the most unfortunate person in the world? How arrogant, Michiko. I really hate you who acts like you've lost everything even though you have everything."
"Ha! I have everything? What did I have? I didn't want any of it. It was my parents who wanted it. Your parents, it was what you wanted!"
As she shouted sharply, the moment Michiko pulled Yuina's hair forcefully.
"Because you've never lost anything, you can say such things, Amanabi Michiko."
Moving the hand that gripped her collar, she threw Michiko as if pushing her toward a nearby stall.
A physical fight that intensifies in an instant.
The staff were dumbfounded by such acting without sparing their bodies.
'No, Yuina is too strong.'
'It's not even a fight.'
Looking at the script, it was supposed to be an impression of them fiercely fighting while pulling each other's hair, but just seeing this, it felt like Michiko was being unilaterally beaten.
But, this also somehow suited Yuina's quiet atmosphere, so it looked somewhat fitting.
Michiko's appearance looking up as if indignant also fit well.
Director Baek Min repeatedly raised and lowered his hand.
Should he cut this or not.
'Regardless, the immersion of the two is at its peak.'
Especially Jo Seohee.
She jumped at Yuina again just like that.
This time, Yuina also accepted Michiko's action as it was and rolled on the ground.
At the sight of them tangled together fighting on the street, other actors walking nearby also played the gathering crowd, murmuring.
'It's the first time I've seen Seohee immerse herself in a role to this extent.'
The reason Director Baek Min really wanted to include Jo Seohee in this *Miss Gyeongseong* wasn't for another reason.
He thought the setting of this character, Amanabi Michiko, perfectly fit Jo Seohee.
Having lost her mother at a young age, Jo Seohee was chasing her shadow.
In a way, Michiko was similar.
In the end, Michiko was constantly overshadowed by her parents.
Add to that the fact of being a chaebol family's young lady.
The ambiguous relationship with her father, such factors element by element became reasons for Seohee to immerse herself in Michiko.
Probably, the Michiko rolling around with Yuina right now could be said to be Michiko herself rather than Jo Seohee.
The staff were mesmerized watching the great synergy shown by the two actresses.
Some with fascinated faces.
Others with anxious faces.
And in Director Baek Min's case, he raised his hand again and agonized.
It wasn't because the two's acting was bad.
It was because Yuina and Michiko weren't the only ones appearing in this scene.
The person who should stop their fight.
The protagonist Yeon Seonye was looking at the two with a flustered face.
Is that acting?
Or is she genuinely flustered?
Either way, it was still natural for now.
But, they couldn't just stand by and watch the two fight.
It was a fight that wouldn't end unless Yeon Seonye intervened.
'But joining in there?'
'More importantly, is Seohee-ssi okay?'
If this continues, it's an NG.
It was the moment everyone was gradually thinking so.
"Stop it right no... arggh?!"
Yeon Seonye, who forcibly wedged herself between the two, tripped over her own feet and fell.
And, as she fell, she headbutted Yuina's face directly.
***
Honestly, it was half accidental.
Yuina and Michiko rolling around fighting in front.
Watching Jo Seoyeon and Jo Seohee's acting, Jiyeon couldn't muster the courage to join in with her lines.
Since childhood, Seoyeon was a standard for Jiyeon.
From the time they played the prince and princess.
She thought she wanted to act like that too.
'I want to say I want to act proudly with you too, like Jo Seohee.'
Jo Seohee could do that.
You can tell just by looking at right now.
Has there ever been a case where Jo Seohee was as immersed in her role as now?
It's just funny that the acting is about roughhousing and fighting.
Apart from that, Jiyeon found it difficult to easily wedge herself between the two actresses.
Like Yeon Seonye caught in a real fight between Michiko and Yuina.
She was the protagonist, but all the staff's gazes were on the two.
Probably, the audience would be the same.
At this moment, she was in the same situation as an extra mixed in with the crowd.
'If this continues, NG.'
The moment she realized that fact, Jiyeon felt her head go cold.
They performed acting of this intensity.
But, if she had to film from the beginning again because she messed up one line or one action.
Could they perform such immersed acting again?
Honestly, it was hard to guarantee.
So, the desperate feeling that she had to do something.
Because of that feeling, Jiyeon's feet got tangled.
Falling forward as is, she took Yuina's face directly.
"Yeon Seonye, you?!"
Yuina rolling on the ground holding her face.
Her face covered by both hands.
The eyes visible between those fingers seemed to be gauging whether it was acting or not.
A situation instantly turned into a mess.
It was Yeon Seonye's action that originally shouldn't have been there.
Seohee also looked at Jiyeon with flustered eyes.
Probably, she definitely thinks that wasn't acting.
But, rather, Jiyeon, who headbutted Seoyeon's face as she fell, felt herself becoming calm.
'It's a relief I headbutted Jo Seoyeon.'
Because even if she headbutted her a dozen times, she wouldn't get a single scratch.
So, at the moment everyone was flustered.
Jiyeon decided to use this coincidence.
"Don't torment the young lady, you wicked bitch!!"
The situation that was already confusing, turned into a complete mess like that.
Of course, in a good way.
