Title: 후아유- 학교 2015 / School 2015: Who Are You? / 学校 2015: 你是谁?
Also known as: 학교 6 / School Season 6
Genre: School, Youth, Mystery
Episodes: 16 (To Be Confirmed)
Broadcast network: KBS2
Broadcast period: 2015-Apr-27 to 2015-June-16

Eun Bi and Eun Byul are twins and look exactly alike.

Lee Eun Bi (Kim So Hyun) lives at the orphanage Love’s House in Tongyeong, where younger residents look up to her as a sister. They don’t know that she’s friendless at her school and viciously bullied by a posse of mean girls led by Kang So Young (Jo Soo Hyang).

On the other hand, Go Eun Byul (Kim So Hyun) is the popular girl at Segang High School, the most prestigious private high school in Seoul’s Gangnam District. But Eun Byul has secrets, including one involving an old friend named Jung Soo In.

One day, on a school field trip to Tongyeong, Eun Byul mysteriously disappeared. When she was found 10 days later , she was injuired and suffered from amnesia. Eun Byul returns to Segang, where she meets her classmates, including Han Yi Ahn (Nam Joo Hyuk), her childhood friend whom she shares a mutual attraction with, Gong Tae Kwang (Yook Sung Jae), a trouble maker in the class, and her teacher Kim Joon Suk (Lee Pil Mo).

Lee Pil-mo is another addition to the cast, playing the school’s “elite math teacher” who was a longtime contract teacher before finally getting hired on as regular full-time faculty with a homeroom to manage. It sounds like he’ll be taking on the role Jang Nara and Daniel Choi played in the 2013 version, since he’ll be the one who struggles to get through to the kids, finding ways to communicate and relate to his young charges.

Which is great, because Lee Pil-mo has a great ability to mix the comedic and dramatic, with a combination of gruffness, humor, and heart to his acting. I fully expect the kids to make him tear out his hair in frustration, but I have faith his doggedness will be rewarded. Maybe just with more lines in his face and less hair on top when all’s said and done.

In 2014 June during Pil Mo's birthday, fans handed him a questionnaire (100 questions!!) and one of the questions was for him to write in english what he wanted to say to fans abroad. ^^ .

efb7cea20cf431ad2c2a7aad4e36acaf2fdd98ae

"Hi, all my fans from abroad.

This is Lee Pill Mo.

I would like to meet and shake hands all of you, but not possible because we are far from each other as you know.

So. I am sending my heart from here like this ^^ . I wish all of you were happy and took a good care of yourself. And I hope we will be able to meet face to face someday. Take a good care again, hope your dreams come true!! ^^ . "

translated from Korean to Chinese, thanks to Baidu Tieba @nannan  , loosely translated in English as follows (please correct me if I'm wrong):

Sun morning. Next week, the shooting for this drama (School 2015) will come to an end. I'll complete the task as Teacher Joon. I've never expect things to turn out this way, it's a pity for Teacher Joon, and he can't be feeling good. I wonder why when I'm in action, the characters would always turn out that way. Whether it's Mers or fried anchovy, just fried and eat them. Have a good day. Fried and eat, bye!

I’ve looked through briefly, everybody (the fans) thank you for working hard to get the presents hahaha.
I would like to try out something new and interesting. Although it would be the first shoot, it’s fortunate that the actual day of my birthday does not crash with the shooting schedule, so I can meet you all (the fans). Of course, I can’t stay for too long haha.
The latest project is a 2-episode short drama, but this is really an experimental experience for me, overcoming all sorts of bad causes, praying that this would turn out to be a good piece of work! The weather is too hot, see you on 26th (June) afternoon.

I had a meal with everybody (fans) last year during my birthday. This year, due to the virus going around, might just give it a pass… don’t be tough and do be careful! Haha but recently I’m interested in something. After shooting, there was a lot of people outside, and cars are everwhere. Where is everybody going ha. I’m beginning to doubt mers or fried anchovy is really around keke. What’s happening? By the way, I’ve asked around, though my manager, have prepared a venue for the birthday party, seems like there is a quiet place keke. Leave some messages.
If we don’t get to meet this year don’t be sad, there will definitely be a chance. Anyway I belong to you all haha.

came across some old articles from Hanyang University's (Pil Mo graduated from Hanyang University in 2014) websites, just to share :);):P :

=========================================

Internet Hanyang News 2012.06.01

An Interview with the Rising Star Actor, PilMo Lee

A fresh student on campus, a veteran actor on screen.

"Be passionate and fill every moment of life with values. "

“I won't stop acting until the day I die.”
He officially made a debut on TV in 2005 with a minor role. Since then, he has gradually grown into an actor performing main characters of TV dramas. In 2009, he received the spotlight from the media by playing a role in the Sons of Sol Pharmacy House. Now, he is stirring up hundreds of viewers’ emotions as Soohyuk, one of the four main characters in Lights and Shadows.

english1_img01.jpg

Q. What do you like about acting?

A. I don’t know exactly; I have done nothing except acting. It just feels good when I do acting. I began my acting career by appearing in musicals in theaters. Before the performance starts, it is so dark that nothing is visible. Then, a stage manager gives a sign; the light follows. That moment is like a drug. Acting makes my heart leap. Now, I act in front of a camera, but the essence of the experience remains the same. It is not for money or for fame; I just love acting insanely!

Q. Where do you think good acting comes from?

A. First, I do not keep the emotions inside myself. Acting is bringing out of the hidden emotions and maximizing the feelings. It seems that most of the good actors’ performances are based on their own emotional experiences. Experiencing various emotions as much as possible is the key, I think.

Second, I constantly challenge myself with new types of roles even though I am not familiar with or have no sufficient emotional experiences that the character has to reveal. This could be a personal choice, but I do not play a similar character. I think actors who perform similar roles over and over may not be called artists, but employees. Although I am not sure of how successfully I can act out a new character, I keep challenging with my imagination and constant learning.

Third, prior to acting in front of a camera, I try to communicate with the writer as much as possible. The writer is the creator of the character. The character’s personality, tone, dialect, goal in life: everything about him comes from the writer. Therefore, I understand more about the character through the conversations with the writer. They help me to understand and create the whole world around the character.

Lastly, when acting, I act as if I were to die. There is nothing natural in acting; every expression is calculated and designed to look natural and real. However, anything that looks natural on the screen is carried out naturally. Even in a scene where I am chatting with another character, all the details such as the path of my eyes, the length of my laughter or the time I cry are carefully calculated.

english1_img02.jpg

Q. What is the hardest part of being an actor?

A. Emptiness follows after finishing a drama or a movie. Then, I start to wonder what it means to live, and who I am in this real world. Suddenly, it feels like I am nothing more than a depressed actor. This is actually what most actors commonly feel. In addition, when under the unbearable amount of stress, gaining too much attention from the public and the media increases the emotional burden.

Getting over such a depressing feeling and stress have been problems for all actors. As for me, I try to think positively. In that aspect, such attention is very much to thank about, because that shows how popular I am as an actor. Exercising also helps. I work out until my socks get soaked in sweat and I nearly go exhausted. I do just about everything that can help me get rid of the depression. After all, how successfully and quickly I get rid of such feeling determines my next step.

“There is no end in studying”
He comes to school twice a week, only on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, yet taking 16 credits. He looked tired but his eyes were burning with passion.

Q. You have recently come back to school after a long career in the professional world. How do you feel to be a student again?

A. It feels great! The youth and passion are everywhere on campus, which brings back the forgotten feeling of my earlier days. Hanyang University (HYU) was the university I dreamed of attending since I was in middle school. At that time, not many universities taught theatre studies, and HYU was one of the most prominent schools. Now that I finally return to this university, I feel like starting from the very beginning. Despite the tight schedule, it gives me a strong motivation to do well in school”

Q. As a returning student, what do you think is a must-do as a university student?

A. Love; love life and people with all your heart. There are, of course, many other important things in life than studying. However, the feeling of love in one’s 20’s contains a certain emotion that cannot be experienced in other periods in life.

Similarly, try to find something that you can do only in college years, and never let go of your time with nothing in it. Spend a day like a year by filling each moment with your own values. Of course, I am not living my life like that, but I at least try to fill my every moment with meanings and passion, even when I am out to have a drink.

english1_img03.jpg

Q. In the future, what kind of person or an actor do you wish to be remembered as?

A. I want to be and be remembered as an actor that leaves a fragrance. Like a person that leaves a scent of perfume when walking by, I want to leave a long lasting fragrance as I leave the scene on the screen. At the end, I hope my footsteps leave a path of my life as a sincere actor. For that, I will never stop refining myself.

In fact, I think this mind set is essential for any person in any field. As a part of a certain field, the one who works sincerely to leave his or her personal fragrance will feel much sense of accomplishment. Do not just focus on finishing a task, but look forward and put more meaning into each task you confront. Your own fragrance will naturally be developed during the process.

Q. What is your plan from now on?

A. As a student, I want to do my best in studying and learn as much as possible. It is hard to work and study at the same time but the opportunity to learn will not come again; therefore, I appreciate the given time and try not to waste a single moment of this great time here on campus.

As an actor, I want to act until I die. Even as my hair turns grey, I hope to be an actor who can find a role that suits with my grey hair and wrinkles. My dream is to breathe, talk, and get old in the screen. I have no want in fame or money; acting itself is my passion.

Another old article, dated 2014 June.

Filmography Filled with His Passion- Lee Pill-mo, an Actor

http://www.hanyangian.com/news/photo/201406/412_684_5255.PNG

Nowadays, many Korean women pick as their ideal man, someone who is Tsundere, a person who is initially cold and even hostile toward others, before gradually showing his warm side. Kook Cheon-soo, a key supporting character in the TV drama, Emergency Couple, is a typical Tsundere who loves the heroine of the program. Emergency Couple is about a divorced couple who met as interns at a hospital after 6 years of being divorced. They begin to love again by finding each other. In this drama, Kook Cheon-soo is the chief surgeon and two main characters’ boss. Actor Lee Pill-mo who plays the role of Doctor Kook gained a lot of popularity as “Tsundere Kook”, a thoughtful man but a callous doctor. Having built his acting career as an unknown actor for more than 10 years, today however, Lee has his own filmography and is one of Korea’s most famous actors. The Hanyang Journal (The HJ) met him to learn more.

Filmography as an Actor

Q. You have worked for a long time in the industry and finally made your popular debut at the age of 32. Can you tell us your story?

A. Since I was a middle school student, I had dreamed of being an actor after watching a Hong Kong noir film. I studied in order to become an actor and I started acting in a little theater in Daehangno. I tried to find advertising agencies to support me with my profile photos. When I failed to get the chance to show my passion because I was not a famous actor, I felt deeply frustrated. Also, as with most poor actors, acting was not a sufficient source of income. So because I was busy earning my living by doing miscellaneous work, I did not have a lot of time to think about my popularity and honor. However, on the stage, I devoted myself solely to acting.

Q. What is your view of acting?

A. As most actors have said, acting is an opportunity to experience the lives of others indirectly. In addition to this, I think it is one of the ways to live a worthy life. When acting, I feel catharsis and relaxation and acting helps me see the world as a more beautiful place. I also see acting as an opportunity to share my emotions with audiences, which can help them express any suppressed feelings vicariously.

Filmography as Kook Cheon-soo

Q. You gained popularity as the Tsundere character, Kook Cheon-soo in the drama Emergency Couple. As the actor who played Kook Cheon-soo, what has been the most memorable scene in the drama?

A. I am always thankful to my fans for loving my character. However, I do not care about my popularity, since popularity is easy to change at any time. Instead, I reflect on my performance in order to check whether I was totally immersed in performing my role. It is hard to pick the most memorable scene since all have been so meaningful to me. However if I were to pick one, I would say the scenes with Oh Jin-hee, the heroine in the drama, have been the most memorable for me because many viewers love them. Kook’s considerate attitude such as taking off his coat to prevent her from getting wet in the rain was a memorable scene and it shows Doctor Kook’s affection toward her.

Q. Your work, Emergency Couple has received favorable responses from audiences. What has this work meant to you?

A. Even though shooting the drama Emergency Couple has at times been a tough job, it has been meaningful in the sense that all the actors and staff overcame difficulties together. Also, I will always remember my character Kook Cheon-soo because of his fascinating personality.

Q. Are there any interesting stories behind the scenes?

A. On the last day of shooting for the drama, I had to perform the scene where Doctor Kook drank alcohol thinking about Oh Jin-hee. I was actually completely drunk when I was in the scene and I totally passed out as soon as I finished the shooting.

Filmography as a Hanyangian

Q. Why did you decide to transfer to Hanyang University (HYU) in your thirties?

A. Before enrolling at HYU, I had already begun studying at Seoul Institute of the Arts in my twenties. I had been acting in plays since my twenties, so I had always been eager to be involved in campus life as a normal university student. That is why I decided to transfer to the Department of Theater and Cinema at HYU from Seoul Institute of the Arts in 2010.

Q. What was the best part of your university life as a Hanyangian?

A. I think it was very valuable for me to learn the basics of acting all over again as though I was a freshman. I think it is important for actors to be reminded about the basics of acting, in order to win battles of endurance with one’s self. Also, spending valuable time on campus helped me build up my acting career. One regret I have was that I did not have much time to interact with other Hanyangian actors or actresses. Due to our busy schedules in the acting industry, we didn’t have a lot of time where we could bond and talk over drinks as other Hanyangians do.

Q. Do you have any last words for fellow Hanyangians?

A. It is important to give serious consideration to what you want to do. For a long time, I was an actor without a spotlight and finally managed to make my debut when I was 32 years old. In order to fulfill one’s dreams, it is important to stay on track no matter what happens.

Thank you @straylamb for all the articles on Lee Pil Mo xD 

He is a great actor, and his candid acting in Emergency couple makes DrGook my favorite character of the drama :))
