JTBC’s Monday-Tuesday drama “Radiant” has shared new behind-the-scenes stills of Kim Hye Ja and Han Ji Min.

 

“Radiant” tells the story of 25-year-old Kim Hye Ja (played by both Han Ji Min and Kim Hye Ja), who turns the clock thousands of time to save her father and becomes an elderly woman in her seventies. The story may sound far-fetched, by Han Ji Min and Kim Hye Ja’s stellar acting has brought the story to life, as they mimic each other to the smallest of details to appear like the same person.

 

The new behind-the-scenes stills show how the two actresses spend time on set. Kim Hye Ja keeps the atmosphere on set light with her warm smile. The still of her with a hoodie on and a smile across her face brings out the 25-year-old nature of her character, perfectly portraying a woman who looks like she’s in her seventies but has the soul of a 25-year-old woman. She sincerely reads through her script to check that she has everything in check.

 

 

Han Ji Min is also rarely seen without her script, which she reads over sincerely. The actress wasn’t afraid to give her all for scenes that required more action, performing all the wire action scenes herself. She also has a warm smile that lights up the atmosphere.

 

The production staff stated, “It isn’t easy to tell the story of a woman who becomes old in an instant. It was only possible because the two actresses have built up the character to be believable. They bring laughs, tears, and warmth, with some of the best acting we’ve ever seen. We hope people will continue to watch over Hye Ja’s story.”

Kim Hye Ja and Nam Joo Hyuk from JTBC’s “Radiant” are mesmerizing viewers with their special synergy that goes beyond the generations.

 

The drama recently broke its personal viewership ratings record and continues to awe its viewers with a splendid cast and story.

 

Kim Hye Ja and Nam Joo Hyuk worked together with a unique chemistry on the filming set in order to create touching scenes. In one of the released behind-the-scene photos, Kim Hye Ja can be seen with a script in her hand. During break, the veteran actress warms the set with her doting smile, but once the camera turns on, she fully immerses into her character. Nam Joo Hyuk looks closely at her performance with respect. The actor’s sincere personality to not miss any details is the driving force behind his acting in “Radiant.”

 

Kim Hye Ja also gazes at Nam Joo Hyuk with content. She treats him with consideration and sends him a supportive smile. Earlier, Kim Hye Ja expressed her expectations and affection for Nam Joo Hyuk, saying, “I want to see what kind of actor he’s going to become.” Nam Joo Hyuk had also revealed, “It’s a happy filming scene where I can learn a lot.”

 

Their affection and trust for each other lead to synergy in the drama. When they rehearse, they portray their respective characters with sincerity, and when they’re not filming, they smile brightly without a hint of exhaustion.

 

 

The production crew praised, “The presence of actor Kim Hye Ja has created a unique synergy on the set. In particular, the teamwork between Kim Hye Ja and Nam Joo Hyuk has a crucial flow of emotions that goes beyond the generations. With only four episodes left until the end, crisis and changes are imminent for their characters. We hope you will watch until the end.”

 

Episode 9 of “Radiant” will air on March 11 at 9:30 p.m. KST.

Kim Hye-ja, Han Ji-min and Nam Joo-hyuk Behind the Scenes of "The Light in Your Eyes"

The jTBC drama "The Light in Your Eyes" released behind-the-scene cuts of Hye-ja's (Kim Hye-ja) secret.

In the previous episodes, Hye-ja's time breakaway was explained; she was suffering from Alzheimer's disease, and the story so far had been happening in her head. Twenty-five-year-old Hye-ja (Han Ji-min) was seventy-year-old Hye-ja's past. The narration said, "I had a long dream. But I don't know if I'm dreaming about myself getting old, or if the old me is dreaming of being young. I have Alzheimer's".

 

The truth about Hye-ja is delivered against the backdrop of the ocean. The scene where Kim Hye-ja, with eyes so deep with age it's hard to fathom, and Han Ji-min meet is where their synergy is released. The way they are talking hand-in-hand shows that even their smiles look alike.

 

 

Nam Joo-hyuk is covered in bruises and cuts, but his smile is unmistakably stunning. Han Ji-min and Nam Joo-hyuk play with the little child actor, and curiosity builds, as it is obvious that Han Ji-min and Nam Joo-hyuk were once a married couple in Kim Hye-ja's past. The 'no-vengers' and 'watch grandpa' Jun Moo-song appear harmonious.

 

The production says, "Hye-ja's real story begins now. There are two more episodes of the precious and shining time of Hye-ja's life, so watch how the puzzles piece together and connect the past and the present".
