On March 6, Jisoo appeared together with actor Seo In Guk on Hyeri’s YouTube show Hyell’s club. The two stars discussed various behind-the-scenes moments from filming the Netflix romantic fantasy series.
During the conversation, Jisoo revealed that actor Kim Young Dae ended up filming the final filming of the drama with them due to a last-minute scheduling change. Hyeri joked about how confusing the moment must have been for him.
“He probably came on set and suddenly everyone was taking group photos and crying,” Hyeri said, eliciting laughter from the cast.
The conversation then moved on to the emotional moments that often happen after filming is over. Seo In Guk shared that she sometimes gets emotional on the last day of a project, while Hyeri admitted that she tends to cry loudly when saying goodbye to the cast and staff.
“Every time it’s the last take, I think about how we’ll never see each other again and I cry my eyes out,” Hyeri said.
However, Jisoo revealed that she personally had a completely different reaction.
“Directors cry a lot. I remember comforting them by telling them, ‘You worked hard.'” he recalled. “But the tears just didn’t come out of me.”
He added that he also tried to reflect on the emotions of the moment, but still couldn’t fully identify with the sadness others felt.
“I actually tried to think about it deeply on the last day,” Jisoo explained. “But I couldn’t figure out which part was supposed to be sad.”
Instead of feeling emotional, she said the atmosphere made her feel excited.
“I was actually excited. I was walking around saying things like ‘Who wants to take pictures?’ at the end of filming”, he said.
After the clip circulated online, some netizens reacted negatively to his remarks, linking them to the long-standing debate over his acting skills.
Comments like “Now I understand why his acting doesn’t seem convincing,” “Maybe she’s not emotionally immersed in her character,” AND “It seems like you lack attachment to the project” widespread in online communities.
Many fans, however, defended the singer-actress, claiming that the criticism was exaggerated. Some have pointed out that actors naturally react differently at the end of filming.
Others have commented, “Not crying doesn’t mean she doesn’t care about the drama,” AND “She’s just honest about how she feels.”
