Lee Seung Gi, an actor

1n2dfansubs — Thu, 25 Jun 2009 21:44:40 +0000

… translated by Eloise.

“I want to show myself as an actor”: Lee Seung Gi, male lead of the drama “Brilliant Legacy” which broke through viewers’ rating of 35%

“When rating hit over 30%, I was elated. However, now that rating has broken through 35%, the feeling is a bit different. There is pressure from a sense of burden, responsibility. I feel that I have to forget about ratings and just try my best till the end.”

To Lee Seung Gi, the 21st may look like the best Sunday, isn’t it? At 7pm KBS 2TV Happy Sunday – 1N2D hit viewers rating of over 30%. And 3 hours later, SBS drama Brilliant Legacy’s rating went over 35%.

In actual fact, at the beginning of the drama, there were criticisms on LSG’s acting, with comments like he got casted simply because of his popularity in 1n2d; he was just like the heo-dang in 1n2d etc. However, it took LSG just 3 – 4 episodes to overcome this adversity. To viewers he is no longer heo-dang: Seon Woo Hwan has risen prominently.

In the afternoon of 24th, I met with Lee Seung Gi at the Production Centre of KBS at Tan-hyeon. He is the very image of a beloved, energetic, bright and cheerful and physically fit young man.

“Romance is really powerful. The elasticity of the love triangle between Hwan. Eun Seong & Junse seems to be pulling in more viewers. These days, when I receive the script, I can’t help but feel nervous automatically. Guess I’m really immersed in the drama.”

“Romantic scenes are really difficult. There are so many subtleties that need to be expressed. Each hand movement, eye expression can translate into very different feelings. That’s why, by comparison with other scenes, there’s a need for more preparation. However, the problem is that it’s not exactly something that you can do rehearsals on. It’s not as if you can just grab anyone and practice a kissing scene (laughter). Moreover, I’m not really familiar with all those love talk the way they are scripted. The point is how to deliver these lines naturally without sounding cheesy. Down to the smallest details, they gave me a lot of headaches while acting out the scenes.”

LSG described Hwan as a young man who wants for nothing and does not understand how to be thankful or apologetic. He is oblivious to things around him to the point that he is not even aware of the special feelings his high school junior, Seung Mi has for him.

“Actually, in real life, this would be untenable. What man would treat Seung Mi so innocently just as a little sister? (laughter). However, it’s all a drama. If a man like Hwan exists, to him, love or marriage is unlikely to be important. After witnessing his father’s death, he would likely lead an insipid life, with his heart closed.”

Such a Hwan is currently falling for candy girl Eun Seong. Without knowing it, he is drawn to her, and he’s now in a state of intense confusion.

“These days, Hwan is stuck in a awkward position, steeped in anguish and conflict. However, in the coming episode, opportunities will arise during the Dong Hae cruise, and Hwan is going to actively approach Eun Seong. He’s going to do it in style. But as to whether I was able to execute that well, I don’t really know” (laughter)

It seems that LSG came well prepared for any question, as he was quick and eloquent in his answers. Heo-dang, he was not. Nor was he a brat. He was actually “a smart boy”. Especially when it came to the subjects of singing or acting, he showed a lot of intelligence.

“Actually, at the beginning, it was difficult to find appeal in Hwan’s character. A single dimensional character who would flare up at the slightest provocation. However, it was said that an actor’s role is to add flavor to the character, and so I?/we? started to do it, a small step at a time. Because of this, at points in the drama, I?/we brought to the character a certain cuteness, a certain tenderness and this seems to have brought life to the character.” (not sure whether it’s Seung Gi who drove the change or it was a concerted effort with the PD as it’s not really spelt out clearly)

After debuting as a singer in 2004, LSG participated in MBC’s then sitcom “Non-stop” Then, in 2006, he took part in KBS 2TV “Famous Seven Princesses”, paving the way for his becoming the male lead in “Brilliant Legacy”.

“I didn’t entertain any thoughts about acting. Nor did I want to become involved in acting. Didn’t think I have the right disposition, nor the talent to do it. Not that I have the talent now. However, my boss in my management company had, since my debut, incessantly told me that some day I should branch out into acting and that I should be prepared for that. So, it’s not like I suddenly decide to go into acting. I have actually been steadily preparing for it. Was at my worst during the days in sitcom as I didn’t have the ability to interpret the scripts then. However, as time passes, despite being still inadequate, as I began to have a better grasp, and as I could see a bit of results, I began to appreciate the appeal of acting. I began to understand why people want to act in drama.”

He revealed that in future he’s going to continue with a career in both singing and acting.

“If, as a singer on stage, one shows his/her own image with explosive power, then as an actor in a drama, there is a lot of room for the imagination. Although I still don’t really understand what makes an actor, I definitely find acting very interesting.”

“Being able to overcome the criticisms received in the early days of the drama is very fulfilling. By this drama, I wanted to show myself more of an actor until people think ‘That guy’s still gonna act, isn’t he?’. The more I think like that, the more I want to show myself as an actor”, he said emphatically.

To upload or not…

1n2dfansubs — Thu, 25 Jun 2009 18:10:40 +0000

Hello people of the world wide web. After careful consideration, I have decided to make a few changes to this blog. As some of you are awared, the new Korea copyright law will most likely take effect on July 23. The new law will implement a three-strikes penalty system against P2P uploaders. I have mixed feelings about its implications. I’m not sure whether the updated law will significantly increase revenues for the Korean entertainment industry or just end up sending the Hallyu wave to its grave prematurely. In any case, the bulk of the liabilities now lies on the uploaders; those who provide either downloadable links or streamed videos. More informations as posted by the Korea Times and HERE.

Will our sources still be available to us? Hard to know. The Clubbox communites have already anticipated the effect and have made changes accordingly. The Torrent file could end up to be your sole source to seeing the show. Instructions on how to operate the Torrent application can be found in the Software section. You may find it useful.

Here are our plans:

1. The Song List section on this blog will be inactivated beginning on July 6. I will not be uploading and posting any more direct music d/l link.

2. 1n2dfansubs will continue to stream our subbed works (full episodes and cuts) until it is no longer feasible to do so.

3. Full episodes: We will release soft subs only. No hard subs. Raw episodes can be found in Aigo-Media forum if are not posted here.

4. Cuts: these are often omitted scenes from the KBS World versions. We will release hard subs.

I will leave all other links on this site untouched for now. More changes will come if needed.

'Two Days and One Night' Cast, Staff Play Rock Paper Scissors

1n2dfansubs — Thu, 25 Jun 2009 05:19:55 +0000

[TV Report]Why did the producer of ‘Two Days and One Night’ wear a thick jumper in the middle of summer? On the Sunday episode that aired on KBS2, the “Two Days” cast and crew members faced off in a game of “rock, paper, scissors” in a special camp session aimed at preparing them for the summer heat.

The cast members had to reach their destination, Haman, in a heated car with no air conditioning and windows that did not open. Their sultry drive however changed at the tollgate when they played the “rock, paper, scissors” game with the staff over an air conditioned car.

Camera director Ji Sang-ryeol, a renowned expert of the game, faced off with all six cast members. If any one of the six beat him, the cast team would win the mission.

But the nervous director failed to flaunt his skills, and the cast team successfully won the air conditioned vehicle. The staff team played another match, this time over snacks, but lost again. The final game was between Kang Ho-dong and the producer; the penalty – wearing a winter jumper. Victory again went to the cast.

Producer Na Yeong-seok had to wear a thick jumper. Thanks to the unexpected wins, the cast members, contrary to their usual bad luck, could enjoy a cool and happy ride to their destination whereas producer Na sweated all the way.

After the program aired, viewers hailed Na’s performance saying, “The episode and the games provided a big laugh.”

Interview with Seung Gi

1n2dfansubs — Tue, 23 Jun 2009 05:39:55 +0000

Chosin.com recently published a mini feature on Seung Gi in regards to his role in Brilliant Legacy. Posted by yon @ Soompi. Eloise briefly summarized the more interesting points.

On his delivery of the role of Hwan:
Seung Gi commented that at the beginning, there was feedback from some viewers that they were unable to immerse in the drama because of his acting. He thought it could be due to his excessive desire to do well that the danger arose. From then onwards, he adjusted his acting. He felt that there are times when Hwan could be cute and that Hwan is basically not a bad person. He just didn’t have the chance to learn about care and concern for other people.

On “Return of Iljimae”:
In 2008, he was casted for the title role of Return of Iljimae, However, because of delays in production, he had no choice but to give up the project. Seung Gi said that, to date, whenever he thought about this, he couldn’t help but feel regrets.

In preparation for Iljimae, he had not only read the original comic strip tens of times, he had also memorized all his lines. In addition, he received intense training in martial arts and horse riding for 3 months. Despite not being able to do the drama, he said that deep down, he is an ardent supporter of the drama.

Sung Si Kyung - 좋을텐데 (It Would Be Nice)

posted by rlatndk @ Soompi

It would be so nice, If I can just walk this trail with your hand in mine.
It would be so nice if you knew that you are all I have.

How many times did you talk about that guy you met few days ago?
And you blush because he called you again
On my way back, the comfortable moonlight seems so tragic
It’s heartbreaking. I hope you can comfort me.

It would be nice, If I can just walk this trail with your hand in mine
It would be so nice if you knew that you are all I have.
How do I know if he is okay? I never met him
You look exceptionally happy, because he gave you a present
On my way back, the comfortable moonlight seems so tragic.
It’s heartbreaking. I hope you can comfort me.

It would be nice, if I can get mad for talking about someone besides me
It would be nice to just be with you
Can’t you see? I think I’ll lose this friendship that I’ve been keeping so close
I’ve been waiting, and I’ve been hesitating.. but now, now…

It would be so nice, If I can just walk this trail with your hand in mine.
It would be so nice if you knew that you are all I have.
It would be nice, if I can get mad for talking about someone besides me
It would be nice to just be with you

On the song “It Would Be Nice”:
In last week’s episode (Episode 16) where he sang Sung Si Kyung’s “It Would Be Nice”, the song became No. 1 search in various internet portals.

New Album in the pipeline:
Despite managing only 3 hours of sleep a day, he came out with a new single “Will You Marry Me” on June 18th. He is also planning on a new album this fall.

Feedback from 1n2d hyeongs:
When asked what’s the reaction from his hyeongs on his drama, he said that his hyeongs thought Han Hyo Ju is very pretty, and they have been nudging him to arrange a meeting.

And Kang Ho Dong sent him this sort of message: “ Seon Woo Hwan looks terrific; Eun Seong is my girl; Seung Mi – she’s a liar, be careful”. Seung Gi asked (jokingly) whether KHD seemed to be too wrapped up in the drama.
