[Drama 2019] The Light In Your Eyes, 눈이 부시게

[maribella]

If I had not read the summary about a woman who can turn time etc. I would not have been confused. It would be easy to accept that HJ was hallucinating but with the summary, one expects her to be able to go back and forth like that doctor show or prince with the eye patch. I am sure that was a deliberate attempt to confuse.

Anyway it had a great cast and heartwarming ending. I forgive whoever wrote it.

I saw Han Ji Min in Dae Jang Geum and followed by another show which I can't remember. But to my mind she was really awkward at best.  She is good in this although her screen time is not much. She is really good in Familiar wife.

I'm going to try watch her new show coming up soon.

[Friendly kitty]

 

In all the steep nominations, Radiant and SKY Castle compete. I just burst ... I want victory to both dramas. They deserve it for sure!

But in general, I am glad that Radiant was highly appreciated. Excellent dorama caused a response in the hearts of people. It could not be otherwise.

Interview of Nam Joo Hyuk about Radiant:

Nam Joo Hyuk Discusses His Acting In “Radiant” And How The Drama Influenced Him

Apr 16, 2019

by S. Cho

In a recent interview with Star Today, Nam Joo Hyukaddressed the mature acting he showcased through his drama “Radiant.” He said he received many questions regarding his acting, even while it was airing.

Warning: Possible spoilers ahead

In “Radiant,” Nam Joo Hyuk played Lee Joon Ha, an aspiring reporter with a troubled childhood and the husband of the real Kim Hye Ja (played by both Han Ji Min and veteran actress Kim Hye Ja).

Nam Joo Hyuk’s acting has gotten deeper than before, like a boxer who was upgraded from the training ring to the official ring. With his cynical lines and mysterious gaze, he was able to showcase a more emotional performance. Through his portrayal of Lee Joon Ha, he intricately expressed feelings of anger and loss that allowed viewers to immerse themselves in the story further.

After “Radiant” finished airing, Nam Joo Hyuk stated, “I’ve heard many things like, ‘ sold my soul to the devil’, or ‘ met a fairy’. While I’m thankful about such comments, I was personally very embarrassed.”

He continued, “Comments like that make me think again about myself. I have worked hard and competitively prepared in the same way for all of my projects. Even when I was not actively working on a project, I worked very hard. For this drama, I don’t think there is much I did. I believe this was all possible because the director prepared everything and I was surrounded by so many helpful senior actors. Instead of acting, it felt as if we were just talking when we were on set.”

Nam Joo Hyuk was the last actor to be cast in “Radiant.” He agreed after only looking through the script once. He enjoyed participating in a pre-produced drama and said he watched every broadcast from a viewer’s perspective. Especially for the last episode, which he stated was “an hour of crying.”

Regarding the finale, he stated, “I watched it at the office with my team, where you could hear sounds of sniffling from all over the room until everyone was crying. It is a very thought-provoking drama that allowed me to feel thankful about those in my life.”

He also said that the ending narration was especially unforgettable—”The past I regretted and the future that I was unsure of.” As a 25-year-old young man, he said, “It was so touching, and it made me realize that I had to live a good life. I have the same concerns as the youth of this generation, and I’m still chasing after my dreams. Although people are all in different situations, I believe everyone faces the same hardships. Since I acted with those hardships in mind, I think I was able to get into the character of Lee Joon Ha even better.”

Nam Joo Hyuk revealed that the hardest part about filming this drama was being unable to hold back his tears. He stated, “A lot of scenes were actual tears, not acting. I was so touched by all the scenes. Even for scenes where the director told me to be strong and reassure Hye Ja, I couldn’t help but cry.”

He continued, “Especially for the funeral for ‘Chanel grandma’ and scenes at the jail, I was so overwhelmed by emotion that I could not even stay on set. After the passing of ‘Chanel grandma’, I really broke down when Hye Ja told me that she wishes my life was full of love. I wasn’t acting like I was crying; the situation was really so sad that I had a hard time controlling my tears.”

Check out the first episode of “Radiant” below!

Interview:

Nam Joo-hyuk, "The Love Scene With Han Ji-min Was Short But Affectionate"

Nam Joo-hyuk played almost 3 roles in "The Light in Your Eyes"; Lee Joon-ha standing on the cliff of despair, Hye-ja's husband who died at such a young age, and Hye-ja's doctor who looks just like her late husband.

 

He worked with the Hye-ja (Kim Hye-ja) in her 70s and Hye-ja (Han Ji-min) in her 20s. Nam Joo-hyuk had to travel 50 years back and forth in time for this act. "Joon-ha who struggled in the year 2019, Joon-ha the public relations officer, Joon-ha the doctor and Joon-ha from the 70s; I played almost four different characters. I didn't want them to all be different. I tried to make them seem like one person", said the actor.

 

 

"I think someone like Joon-ha exists. So does Hye-ja. That helped me to concentrate more".

 

The romance with Han Ji-min's character was short and painful. About working with her, Nam Joo-hyuk said, "I didn't meet her much, so maybe that's why the viewers thought that we were much more affectionate and yearning for each other. Otherwise, we got along pretty well on set".

 

Is he regretful that the romance wasn't sweet enough?

 

"Romance wasn't the key in this drama so no. I did think the couple should be very loving. I learned a lot from Han Ji-min. She made me think I want to be that kind of person".

 

With Kim Hye-ja, a senior actor, Nam Joo-hyuk said, "It was an unbelievable experience working with her". He also said "It was an honor" a couple of times. "Just watching her on the set was unbelievable. She told me never to lose focus, and to work hard to become a good actor".

 

 

Apparently, director Kim Seok-yoon was the atmosphere maker of the set. He was 80% responsible for the laughter.

 

"He's a great leader. When we had dinner for the first time he said he'd 'heal' me and it was exactly what I expected the story to be".

 

"While playing Joon-ha I realized there was something he didn't let go of. It may have seemed like he was only alive because he couldn't die but actually, he was struggling to be happy. That is how he managed to survive, and when nothing happens is what happiness is for him".

 

Nam Joo-hyuk's next project is "School Nurse Ahn Eun-young" on Netflix. He meets with Jung Yoo-mi here. He said, "I just have to do my best and make sure I don't regret it".
