The behind-the-scenes video of the kissing scene between "Lovely Runner" Byeon Woo-seok and Kim Hye-yoon was released
On May 1st, the YouTube channel “tvN drama” posted a new behind-the-scenes video of the drama “Lovely Runner“.
The video contained the making process of the kissing scene where the two first confirmed their feelings.
Director Yoon Jong-ho actively participated in the kissing scene. With specific and detailed instructions ranging from the actors’ eye contact to angles, he deeply moved both actors. Kim Hye-yoon praised, “The director is like a top teacher.”
Rehearsals continued before the actual shooting. Byeon Woo-seok actively gave his opinion, “Should I step back a bit here? What do you think, Director?” He also told Kim Hye-yoon, who was trying to get in sync with him, “It feels like you’re expressing it properly for the first time, right?“
Then, the storm-like first kissing scene between the two was staged.
Afterward, Director Yoon advised Byeon Woo-seok, “It looks a bit aggressive. As a result, she (Kim Hye-yoon) seems flustered.” He added, “Try it more romantically and slowly.” Byeon Woo-seok said “I can relate to that” and apologized to Kim Hye-yoon, “I’m sorry.”
In the subsequent reshoot, Byeon Woo-seok approached more cautiously and kissed Kim Hye-yoon’s lips.
When the “cut” sound was heard, the two made eye contact but could not hide their embarrassment, making viewers smile.
Netizens who watched the video showed enthusiastic reactions such as “Their chemistry is so good… They should date…“, “Wow, it really feels like we’re watching real lovers…“, “Byeon Woo-seok’s neck keeps turning red when filming the kissing scene lol“, “The director’s direction is crazy“, “Both of them are so passionate about acting” and “Please give us more…“
