The cameramen of the popular tvN drama, “Lovely Runner,” have revealed some intriguing details about the on-set chemistry between its stars, Byeon Woo Seok and Kim Hye Yoon.
On the 29th, YouTube channel “Kinsider_insights” presented a special episode with “Lovely Runner” cameramen Yoon Dae Young and Shin Ki Chang. The duo shared their experiences working with the lead actors of the series, who became the center of attention.
When asked about Byeon Woo Seok and Kim Hye Yoon on set, Yoon Dae Young said, “Byeon Woo Seok brought incredible devotion to his role. After years of struggle and preparation, he landed his first leading role in nine years, so he spoke often with the screenwriter and prepared meticulously. He is not only talented but also a great person. » Shin Ki Chang added, “Although Kim Hye Yoon has more experience as an actress, she has been very accommodating towards Woo Seok. She made efforts to harmonize with him on set. »
Host and pop culture critic Park Hyun Min commented, “Actors who only focus on themselves can ruin a scene, but Kim Hye Yoon fully embodied her character falling in love with Byeon Woo Seok, this which enriched the story. » Another host, director Nam Tae Jin, also praised Kim Hye Yoon, saying, “My wife, who watched the drama first, said that Kim Hye Yoon’s performance made Byeon Woo Seok shine . After watching the drama, I understood why directors love working with her. »
Yoon noted, “In dramas, it’s rare to film the two actors together; generally, scenes are shot separately for each actor. When one actor performs, the other usually reacts at a level between 1 and 100, but Kim Hye Yoon always gave 100% of her concentration when reacting to Woo Seok. I think that really helped improve his performance. »
Speaking about their chemistry on set, Shin revealed, “They were really close. Their on-screen chemistry didn’t just appear that way. Sometimes we wondered if they were really a couple because of their intense focus. » Yoon shared a touching moment: “Their eyes showed genuine care and love for each other. I was overwhelmed filming them; it immersed us deep into the purity and fresh feelings of first love. »
As for Byeon Woo Seok’s dazzling charm, Yoon remarked, “We try to capture his appearance on camera, but he’s even more handsome in person,” leaving the hosts in awe.
“Lovely Runner” features romantic scenes between characters ages 19, 20 and 34, with several memorable kissing scenes. Which kiss scene did the cameramen consider the best?
Director Yoon chose the kiss scene in front of the front door of Sol’s house. “We filmed the scene for so long that I even asked the director, ‘Isn’t that a little too long?’ I remember the kiss lasted a very long time. » Shin added, “Even though it’s a romantic comedy, we shot it like a romantic Kdrama. »
When Nam Tae Jin commented, “Personally, I loved the kissing scene in the beach house when they were lying down. It was beautifully filmed, not from the usual angles,” Yoon Dae Young replied, “Normally we shoot at a 90 degree angle, but for this scene, we adjusted the angles to match the characters. We aimed to capture a charming atmosphere. »
