"Joon-won, great job. Looks like you prepared well and really understood the character," said Moo Changmin as they wrapped up shooting the first scene of the drama.
It was the first day on set, and they had started with a simple but important scene—Joon-won in a high school uniform, quietly walking to a nearby bus stop after school. His character stood there, still and thoughtful, staring into the distance while waiting for the bus. This was an important scene as this was where the main character first sees the female lead.
Joon-won, who had done nothing more than walk and stare off into the distance at the setting sun, felt the compliment was a little much. Still, he just nodded with a small smile, accepting it politely. As he turned, his eyes landed on Cho Mi-Young, now dressed in a similar school uniform. Despite being in her thirties, she pulled off the look of a high school senior effortlessly. It was impressive—her posture, expressions, and energy all matched the role.
