Caption: Why did you choose "Birth of a Beauty" as your return piece after 3 years?

Ye-seul: It feels like a really long time since I've been in a drama.

Honestly, when I first received the script, as soon as I read it I fel that I had to be in it.

I think that any actress reading it would have felt the attraction of Se-ra right away.

I wanted to get closer to her lovingly.

Caption: A comparison between yours and Han Ye-seul's bodies is inevitable.

Jae-sook: Well, I work in a field where it's inevitable people judge me by my looks,

but it's also a field where I can work with my own pride and confidence,

So I hope that I don't get made into a charicature just because people say I'm fat or not objectively pretty.

I even said that to the director.

He told me that he wouldn't make me look ridiculous or funny at all,

so I'm trusting him as I work.

Caption: Comparing 'returned single' Lee Min-jung to Han Ye-seul?

Sang-wook: You're asking if Min-jung or Ye-seul is better?

Well, since I'm working with her now, I can say that Ye-seul is better.

Han Ye-seul has a 3 year gap as an actress, and during that time, she must have thought a lot,

which let her to take this as her returning role, and she's working as if her life depended on it.

In that respect, at the moment, I don't think any other actress would be able to follow her. Is that enough?

Yes, so I think that Han Ye-seul, who I'm working with now, is better.

Caption: What did you think about during those 3 years?

Ye-seul: It was a long time. It was a time for me to think, and a quiet time, and that might be an obvious answer, but it's true.

Also, even though it was a choice, it was unavoidable in my opinion.

It wasn't easy to return after 3 years, and as I mentioned, whether it was a choice or not, it was a long time since I've worked, so it also wasn't an easy decision for me.

I had to think about it a lot and wanted to make a really good work, so now I'm here, and I'm confident.

Caption: You appear in shocking outfits, what is their fashion?

Ji-hye: Well, there will be an office look, and many more graceful and neat outfits, so the stylists suggested that I appear in a more shocking outfit and prepared one for me today.

Ye-seul: Is there something shocking?

Ji-hye: In the drama, there was a lot of thought about outfits that would match the character, and a lot of preparation went into making bright and pretty outfits that I'll be able to show to Ye-seul.

Yes, ah... Yes, I'll work hard

Caption: We heard there is a judo throwing scene.

Ye-seul: For the drama I practised some of the basic moves a bit, and I hope I don't look too awkward, but the director chose the angles really well,

so even though I don't actually throw Sang-wook, he makes the fall by himself, so I think I was able to do it without using a lot of strength.

Caption: Were there any memorable episodes while filming?

Ye-seul: There's a scene with Sang-wook running madly on a beach.

Wow, that must have been difficult.

There's also a scene where Sang-wook and me walk so much our legs shake and it's hard for us to even stand up.

When you see it we may seem loose,

but in reality we were really tired out, right? Right?

Say something about that.

Sang-wook: More than the running, that scene sticks in my mind, it was really difficult. It was difficult physically even for me, and I was in pain that night, but the next day while filming, Ye-seul was smiling as if nothing was wrong from morning to night.

That's when I thought she must have decided during those 3 years to be brave and not let it show, whatever happens.

That's how desperate she is.

Ye-seul: Let's cheer for Birth of a Beauty and finish up. Birth of a Beauty!

All: Fighting!

Ye-seul: Thank you.

Sang-wook: Thank you.
