The people at the airport doesn't seem to notice him. He was really good in going incognito. I would have fainted or screamed my lungs out if I've known he is just standing a few inches from me ) Lucky guys who were at Incheon this morning.
PS. I'm really thankful to JIS for defending SHK by saying that the on going rumor between him & SHK is not true and that how he wished the rumor was about him instead asking SHK out and being rejected. What a true gentleman.  SHK is indeed lucky to have one true friend like JIS.

sunshine4ever said: I got this from Song Hye Kyo's thread. Thanks to @hclover96 for posting this.

I felt so sorry for him reading that he kept crying in that scene that I love most. Gosh, poor thing. But I love that scene so much so I understand why he cried. I cried, too, watching that scene. I'm so happy he acted as Oh Soo which is very different from Jae Min. So happy Insung got to finally act as a character that is deeply loved.

Translation credits to wloi from bandstalker. This is Insung talking about SHK in one of his recent interview.

He said, Hyekyo is a goddess (when asked about Hyekyo’s look). He said that Hyekyo knew what he wants and vice versa, they were a perfect match as working partners. He wanted to work with her again. He said he has no ambition to work overseas. He said Hyekyo is gifted in language and her English and Chinese is good.

Story from a reporter. He interviewed both Hyekyo and JIS. He asked what did Hyekyo want to ask JIS ?
After a long time, Hyekyo said, In Sung ah, that winter are you happy ?
Two days later, we have the answer from JIS. Hyekyo, I am as happy as you.  That reporter has made a comparison for the answer for O2 couple. All his answers complement / supplement what Hyekyo said.

Hyekyo said that the cotton candy kiss is awkward, actually I also felt a bit uneasy. For me, the last scene, when I looked into the eyes of OY…my heart kept pounding. Before this scene, we never looked at each other’s eyes though we were shooting love scenes. At that moment, I feel a bit panic and I could not act.

JIS said that he wanted to die when acting ep16, especially the scene where they talked before the operation. After Kim PD said cut, he still could not stop crying, just kept on crying non-stop. When he watched the last episode, he still felt the same, liked he was dying again, esp. when OY went for operation

He said he knew that Hyekyo said that he is good at crying, but he thinks Hyekyo is better. She is the best actress.

He said Hyekyo is his perfect match, they have empathy/telepathy. When they worked, they know what each other need, where to explode their emotions, empathy. He said he really does not know whether he can have project like this one in the future.

When he told the reporter what he wants to tell Hyekyo. ‘ I am as happy as you, Hyekyo’

Apr 08, 2013



Zo In-sung


Zo In-sung said he wants to marry a woman he can lean on.

“It is true that the age to get married is coming, physically,” the 31-year-old actor told several local media outlets on Friday. “So, I am thinking a lot about marriage.”

Zo, who gained footing in the entertainment scene as a commercial model in 1998, had rarely talked about marriage before.

“Men are children to the end. ‘My mother says that she has raised three sons including my father,” said Zo, who has an elder a younger brother.

“I want somebody that would adore me even if I am not mature, and someone whom I could lean on, rather than that who leans on me.”

Zo made a comeback as a television drama actor after nine years with SBS drama “That Winter, the Wind Blows” which ended last week.

He played a poker player falling in love with a blind woman played by Song Hye-gyo.

[interview①] ‘That Winter’ Oh Soo, a very sexy man in my eyes

 

Cr: ohmystar

Chinese trans:emily-lim@insungchina.com

English trans:luluwannagohome@soompi.com

Please take with full credit.

*I’m trying my best to keep the original flavor of JIS’s words because he is sometimes a very profound speaker.

 

Writer Noh Hee Kyung worried about Jo In Sung shedding to many tears, ‘I almost cry to death’

‘That Winter’ Oh Soo, a very sexy man in my eyes

  

Oh Soo, oh no, actor Jo In Sung is smiling. Is it because the strong and heavy character Oh Soo has been blown away by the wind? It seems that the winter has ended for this man, and his spring has come. But Jo In Sung said, “I still cannot feel it.” The second day after the finale was aired, he was caught in a very strange and unexpected emotion, so he called Writer Noh, and cried for a while. “I know it is a bit strange to say, but I didn’t know what I was feeling then.” “It was very strange. I don’t know if it was due to the sudden emptiness after the end of a project… The whole project took me 5 to 6 months. It is a relatively long time compared to a movie. I am not sure if it is due to the emotional attachment I have to this project, or I was unwilling to let go the character.  I called Writer Noh at 1130am, and had a very bad cry. She didn’t say anything but listened.”

 

“..Crying scene, I put out all I have…”

 

-Do you usually have many tears? Crying for that long in the morning…

“I’m not a person of tears, just felt a little pity I guess. I think it’s more of the ‘Well Done’, ‘Thank you’ kind of feelings. I asked Writer Noh, ‘Can you add a few more scenes for me?’ She replied, ‘I didn’t want you to push yourself this hard and be this sincere back then. Otherwise, you’ll probably die from acting.’ It’s because Writer Noh noticed us putting everything in in our acting, so she said, ‘Don’t do it like this.’ And said to me, ‘How are you going act the next time?’ I think she was feeling like a mother back then.”

 

-You cried a lot in this drama.

“Because Writer Noh wrote it like that. (Laugh) ‘Crying. Tears well up in the eyes. Hide your face behind your hands and cry’ and etc. Though Writer Noh may appear to be a mighty woman, she is actually very softhearted. I think she wrote all these because she sympathizes with Oh Soo.”

“But there was one time, when I felt very pressurized by all the crying scenes. I didn’t know how to do it. I am not an actress. There is still a limitation for an actor to do crying scenes. I was a little bit scared because I felt that I have to put out everything I have. If the crying scene is recognized and becomes under spotlight, I have to try to show more crying scenes with diversity. But sometimes it may become another way round. So after watching the end of Episode 9, Writer Noh told me that, ‘Let’s stop crying, but you have to crying once again at the very end.’”

 

-I didn’t know you had such a difficulty. We never ever thought that you would feel this way about crying scenes…

“In fact, I think the screenplay plays an important role. The viewers were fully indulged in the story, so they didn’t find my crying boring. If it was a drama that lost its tempo and couldn’t magnetize the viewers to the storyline, I think the audience would find my acting fake and couldn’t sympathize with all the characters. It is fully the power of the screenplay - capturing the viewers. So the viewers found my acting heartbreaking and the crying came in different ways.  ”

 

“I think Oh Soo is a very sexy man”

Due to Oh Soo’s saddening tears, ‘That Winter, The Wind Blows’ is gathering roaring popularity, clinching the win in the tough Wednesday-Thursday drama competition. Sunbae actress from the same company, Go Hyun Jung’s texts to Jo In Sung, ‘Noh Hee Kyung Writer is awesome! Kim Kyu Tae director is awesome! Song Hye Kyu is awesome! You are awesome too!’ is one of the reasons why Jo In Sung can join the filming confidently.

 

-In Jo In Sung’s eyes, in what way you find ‘Oh Soo’ charming

“I think Oh Soo is a very sexy man. He knows how to sacrify himself. He made a huge mistake to Oh Young, and her oppa is dead because of Oh Soo as well. He once lied, but I find his attitude of not making excuse and accepting every Oh Young said very cool.”

“He did so many for saving Young, like hitting Dr. Kwak for Young. He could have felt ‘Why she doesn’t understand me despite all these I’ve done? Is she overlooking all of them?’ But Oh Soo previously defined his love to be low-key, and he is a very cool man practicing that throughout.”

 

-Writer Noh mentioned in an interview that Jo In Sung choked with sobs during a script practice left her greatly impressed, which scene was that?

“It’s the one drinking Soju with Hee Sun. Writer Noh spent two and a half days writing for that scene, and almost fell in sick. She had a hard time coming up with the line ‘I should’ve just conned her.’ I myself felt very depressed reading that line as well. And when I reach the part ‘She said ‘I loved you’, but she looked lonely.’ The emotions just hit me out of blue, and I felt crazy. Writer Noh then cut the practice and said, ‘Let’s skip this part. I think we all know what it will be like. No more reading, no more practice.’ ”

 

-It is a rare situation! Normally writer would love to evoke the emotions for the actors, she stopped you?...

“Actually, I thought this scene will be the last on the daily schedule, I didn’t expect it to be the first scene in the morning. We shot this scene indoor in the morning. This is not something a human being can do! Making someone cry like this right after waking up…(Laugh) Even if I am an actor, even if I get remuneration for my acting, this is just too much! I needed to transfer all the emotions in the very first scene of the day. I really planned to act with the help of Soju if it was filmed at night, because it might help my acting. But this was the first scene in the morning, so I couldn’t drink. Luckily, it only took one cut!”

 

-Is there any other difficult scene for you during the drama?

“The scene where I had to drag Oh Young up to the hill, took picture and said ‘Today is the day I abandon you.’ It was the most difficult. When my physical stamina was at its lowest, if you check the schedule, it’s all ‘Oh Soo’, ‘Soo Soo Soo Soo Soo Soo Soo Soo’. I had the most scenes, and there was time limit for filming. I’m so thankful that the director tolerare all my shortcomings.”

 

-On the other hand, what are the scenes that satisfy you the most?

“I think the coolest would be the scene where Oh Young’s cellphone was grabbed by the thugs, and I dragged the head of one of them across the wall. It’s the scene that every actor wants to try for once. (Laugh). Others would be telling Lawyer Jang, ‘You become older’ and ‘Do people have to have a reason to live?’ The one satisfies me the most is the scene when Oh Young said, ‘The thing that one can do for others is not forgiveness but comfort.’ I like this line so much, I cried non-stop when I heard it on set. And the video-watching scene in the last episode was heartrending too.”

 

“Cotton Candy Kiss, I first thought ‘What is this?’”

 

-There are lots of close-up shots of your face and hands 

“We’ve done a lot for that. Due to hand acting, I received manicure for the very first time. (Laugh) When I was filming for ‘Spring Day’, the director told me he needed to leave my hands out of the frame. I didn’t understand him and didn’t think too much about it. He then told me my hands tend to move around when I act. I never realize that. I think Director Kim Kyu Tae must have noticed.”

 

“Hand acting is actually the icing on the cake in this case. It is a bit weird if I just place my hand on Young’s face. So there should be a little movement of the hands according to the emotional changes. I didn’t take extra time to plan for this. It just came along when I act. If I want to express all the emotions on my face, then it may be too forceful. But if I can spare the emotions a little to the hands, it’ll look more balanced. I think the director handled it well.”

 

-As expected, the Cotton Candy Kiss scene became a hot issue, how did you feel doing it 

“We spent two days on this scene alone. The first time didn’t come out great, so we tried again. At first I was like ‘What is this??’ Director Kim told us just give it a try first. He is the director who created the Candy Kiss in ‘Iris’ after all, so I think he is aiming for more aesthetic scenes.” 

“But that is not a kiss, you just stand there and face a cotton candy. (Jo In Sung suddenly stood up from his chair, bended over a little, standing there quietly.) I felt very awkward, and I told the director, ‘It better be a hot issue!’ Both of us had goosebumps from this scene. But it does come out looking great. Director Kim is a man of foresight. After watching, I think the business for cotton candy must be better now. (Laugh)”

 

-The long coats and suspenders you wore in the drama is very popular lately, is it your suggestion?

“Sometimes I do think visualizing and defining a character through his cloths is very essential. People will think this is Oh Soo. It must not be done just for the sake of looking good, but to leave viewer a visual impression of the character. Oh Soo wore a lot of long coats, claret suits, suspenders and etc. A lot of uncommon colors were put on him as well, feeding viewers’ imagination of Oh Soo as a Casanova in the beginning. With the help of costume visualization, viewer will understand the roles more quickly.”

 

 

 

During the filming for ‘That Winter, The Wind Blows’, Jo In Sung experienced rising popularity, and received lots of encouragement. “Hye Kyo and I both have been away from drama for long time, and we really felt your support. With the mind of ‘experiencing the love from the viewer and the popularity for real’, I suggested to Director Kim, ‘Let’s film in Lotte World!’ He jokingly replied, ‘Let’s go for once?’”

 

 

 

At the end of ‘That Winter, The Wind Blows’, Oh Soo and Oh Young confirmed their love for each other, and reunited under the cherry trees. Actually that scene was filmed the lasts as well. Jo In Sung said, ‘As the story ended with a kiss, the filming ended as well’ So will the future of Oh Soo and Oh Young be like? “Two will be deeply in love, and probably heading to Italy?”

hazelnutthursdays April 8, 2013

Jo In Sung is one of the men of the moment. On the occasion of the conclusion of his successful comeback drama, “That Winter the Wind Blows,” the actor sat down with various media outfits for an interview, revealing some of his thoughts and feelings.

In his interview with Dailian, the actor brought up the subject of marriage. “I have heard that I won’t marry until 40,” he said. “Men do not age mentally as fast, so even if he is physically old, usually his mind is not. He needs time to come of age, that is my thought about it.”

He added, “Rather than being relied upon solely in the marriage, I would hope to find someone I can also rely on.” 

“That Winter the Wind Blows” aired its finale episode on April 3. To celebrate the success of the drama, the cast and crew are sent on vacation to the Philippines for five days.

@luluwannagohome, will you please post the interview at TWTWB thread, too, for others? Thanks. -edit- nevermind, saw that you posted

Guys, guess what? I'm going to rewatch WHIB. I just popped up episode 1 and Insung looks great as ever. His hair is super curly compared to Oh Soo's hair...^^ he looks cute...I think he looks a lot mature in TWTWB, but so cute like boyish cute in WHIB. So far episode 1 is good...

[Guest luluwannagohome]

@sunshine4ever kkkkk. I'm at ep10 for WHIB. and i'm taking a break now cuz I know what's waiting for me in the front. so I moved on to Shooting for the Star instead. I have a weak heart!! I think it'll take me loads of courage to reach the end of WHIB though i've watched it once before.

[Guest sunshine4ever]

@luluwannagohome, wanna wait for me to reach episode 10 and then we do it together? Don't worry. We'll be okay! We went through it with him before, right? So it shouldn't be so hard.

Why Cha Tae-hyun Envies Jo In-sung?

Translation by kdramafanusa @ Soompi

Cha Tae-hyun and JIS (belonged to the same management company) are close like brothers. Cha Tae-hyun, Jo In-sung, Song Joong-ki, Lee Kwang-soo, and so on

will take time to meet and drink to discuss their actings and works.
Before taking part in "That Winter The Winter Blows", InSung felt troubled/nervous after being away for 5 years; Cha Tae-hyun encouraged/guided him; after considering and gathering strength, InSung finally came back with his first tv series in 8 years.
InSung said he met and told Cha Tae-hyun Hyung that it's writer No Hee-kyung's work.
CTH told him it's good, don't be afraid/worried; many stars would like to work with her (the writer), he also envies InSung (for getting to work with her).
