Jung So Min interview by NHK for “Bad Guy” part 2 - Translations by tlbpc

It's always a pleasure to visit the oppa/dongsaeng thread @soompi.com. Updates are always shared and available. Like this interview of So Min, Playful Kiss was also asked here and her answers were all worth spazzing by shippers like me. It's been over a year still the memory of Playful Kiss lingers to our lovely So Min, not only the filming and the BTS but oppa Hyun Joong as well. This showed how their relationship as mere co-actors in the TV series developed to a closer relationship we can call friendship. And as a shipper I hope that regardless of everything that has been noticed by shippers, or lack of truth which is open for more analysis  the friendship hopefully stays strong and lasts.

Below is the translations of tlbpc from soompi and really worth reading!

This is part 2 of the Jung So Min interview by NHK for “Bad Guy” this month translated from Chinese to English from HyunMin Baidu Bar for those who don’t read Chinese.  

N: NHK
M: MinMin

From [Bad Guy] to [Playful Kiss]

N: Was it a smooth transition from the moment [BG] ended and moved onto [PK]?


M: Actually, it was not the moment it ended and I get to move on immediately to the next drama, filming overlapped for about 1 to 2 weeks.  If the moment Mo Nae ends and there is time for the change to the next role would be good but continuous filming was very hard. Due to the change of Mo Nae’s acting in the second half of [BG], shifting on to act in [PK]’s happy Oh Ha Ni’s role was really quite difficult.

N: That was really tiring, what do you think of acting with Kim Hyun Joong then? And Kim Nam Gil is quite of a different type isn’t it.....

M: Of course both are different but they both like being mischievous that’s similar (laugh)

N: In terms of age also Kim Hyun Joong and So Min are closer, so base on this was it easier to act together?

M: Yes.  Being closer in age is easier and also it is a factor,  contrary because Nam Gil is senior does worries me, was also easy to act with.  And although they are different type but are also naughty guys. (Laugh)Mmm~~ Hyun Joong had a sleeping scene, he actually was asleep.  The director even praised him a lot as “most natural acting”.  (Laugh)

N: Yes, yes.  So when [PK] ended, you should return to school immediately isn’t it?  Are you very happy then?

M: Yes.  When the whole filming has ended, I was really very happy, full of gratefulness but don’t know why I began to feel empty.
In [PK] there is a wedding episode, to prevent from losing the wedding ring even at normal times I’d wear it all the time but when the filming is over with the wedding ring removed somehow I felt like I have forgotten something.  Without the ring I felt very not used to it.  There is no need to return to the filming set, everything has return to normalcy. [Ahh.… everything is over]


N: Will have a sighing mood and some sadness.

M: From the ending of [BG] and then onto the filming of [PK], such a change is the first time.  Filming is very really very hard, was wishing it to end quickly so as to rest but when it really ended yet I felt emptiness.  After 2 weeks of not working, having rested then it was back to as usual.  Also once the resting period is over I return back to school.

N: Having acted in [BG] and gained commercial filming experience but once entering into drama filming no matter how difficult is the situation still you are unable to comprehend isn’t it?

M: Yes especially at the beginning, it was really very tiring and because I went into it as a challenge, even in my dreams I still have not digested everything.  If looking back when it ended, it can be quite worrying.  Kim Hyun Joong ever said before: When filming BOF it was that hard, then because filming PK was also very hard, he told me “Because of such an experience, in future no matter how filming will be, it doesn’t matter anymore”.

Just want to add some personal views here, MM seems to keep bringing up HJ in the interview and mentioned his sleeping scene again despite it has been over a year already.  The last part about HJ telling her what he think is most spazz worthy in the baidu forum that it shows that they are really very close. She’s still very much mindful of HJ….Keke! :wub:
Oh yes!  The wedding ring!! She missed it ! :wub: :wub:
Edit:  To add

Hyunmin baidu bar didn't translate everything as the translator is very  busy, I did read thru the whole interview and managed to figure out  some info about MM. 

1) She's not one who go out often but rather like to stay home and  invite a friend and then eat her mother's home cook food which is her  favourite. 

2) She is quite a Japanese culture fan, she like their food, visit their  country, learn their language and watch their TV dramas and movies  especially director Iwai Shunji's work. She saw the Japanese version of  BOF too.

3) MM was asked what are her future plans, she said that she is  selecting dramas and movies. At one point her manager mentioned  that working on a drama of less than 20 episodes is fine but not  those long and many episode dramas.

4) Drama "Bad Guy" in Japan is called "Red and Black".
