'Dan, Only Love' Script Reading Revealed, Shin Hye-Sun * Kim Myung-Soo 'Glowing Fantasy Chemie'

 

Posted 2019.03.22 AM 9:04

[NewsN Kim Myeong-Mee reporting]

Heart-fluttering scene of "Dan, Only Love" script reading revealed.

 

Coming this May 15th in its first broadcast, KBS 2TV's new W/Th drama 'Dan, Only Love' (Writ Choi Yoon-Kyo/Dir Lee Jung-Seob/Prod Victory Contents & Monster Union), is an unpredictable, fantastic, heavenly romance portraying the story between icy ('toxic','caustic') ballerina Lee Yeon-Seo (by Shin Hye-Sun) without a hint of love [in her heart] and happy-go-lucky trouble-maker angel Dan (by Kim Myung-Soo). Feasts of dances to saturate our family room (theaters), ballerina and an angel's brilliant ('blindingly bright') meeting foretelling, is gathering our interest.

On January 18th on location at KBS, at the script reading for 'Dan, Only Love' were Shin Hye-Sun, Kim Myung-Soo, Lee Dong-Gun, Kim Bo-Mi, Do Ji-Won, Kim In-Kwon, etc., actors and director Lee Jung-Seob, writer Choi Yoon-Gyo, the entire cast appeared. The actors, already deep in their characters, showed off energetic acting already resembling an actual shoot, drawing our gaze.

First off, Shin Hye-Sun painted the prickly and formidable ballerina 'Lee Yeon-Seo' with colors as only she could have. Shin Hye-Sun, who had come with total preparation of the character, immersed herself immediately into the action, raising anticipation for her fresh ballerina transformation. Kim Myung-Soo, appearing as a happy-go-lucky trouble-maker angel 'Kim Dan' (he has a last name! LoL!), abruptly rising out of his seat to carry out his acting, heated up the location. Capturing the not-yet-ripe angel Dan's appearance with his overflowing raw emotions, was a preview of his fervent acting in the drama.

 

In fact, Shin Hye-Sun and Kim Myung-Soo's fresh collaboration in 'Dan, Only Love' is a particular point of anticipation. The two thespians painted with fantastic chemistry the meeting of ballerina 'Lee Yeon-Seo' spewing cold venomous speech versus angel 'Dan', full of curiosity. Raising anticipation from the very first moment of their synergy ('breathing'), how this meeting of Shin Hye-Sun and Kim Myung-Soo's will unfold on screen is indeed drawing our focus.

Lee Dong-Gun is artistic director of the ballet company, 'Ji Kang-Woo' (or Gang-Woo), showing off his charisma. In the story Ji Gang-Woo is a possessor of unequaled artistic sensibility ('discernment'). Lee Dong-Gun, with the foundation of solid acting skills, painted a picture of an attractive grown man and an artist. Too, the transformation of Kim Bo-Mi, from actual ballerina background, is drawing our interest. In the story Kim Bo-Mi will take on the role of 'Geum Ni-Na', a ballerina who feels an inexplicable ('peculiar') sense of rivalry from Shin Hye-Sun. With outstanding ballet skills and experienced (grounded/stable) acting, we can forecast her solid 'eye-imprints' from the viewers.

Neither can we leave out premiere actors Do Ji-Won and Kim In-Kwon's presence. Do Ji-Won is taking on ballet company 'CEO' Choi Young-Ja's role. Choi Young-Ja is a character overflowing with ambition who will stop at nothing for prospering of her company. Kim In-Kwon, appearing as the arch-angel 'Who' (Hoo), will create with Kim Myung-Soo the senior-junior angel chemistry in the story. The story full of synergy of actors full of dramatic abilities, is increasing our degree of anticipation (immersion).

Most of all on this day, at 'Dan, Only Love' script reading, (contemporary) professional ballerinas also participated, adding to the specialness of the occasion - drawing attention to the thorough preparation for a work that is complete as a ballet drama. Modern dancer Choi Soo-Jin, well known for her 'Dancing 9', as the one in charge of delivering the beautiful stage of 'Dan, Only Love', was present as choreography director on site and drew attention.

 

A script reading over 4 hours in length, yet without a hint of tiredness as each was immersed in their individual parts. Shin Hye-Sun, Kim Myung-Soo, Lee Dong-Gun, Kim Bo-Mi, Do Ji-Won, Kim In-Kwon, etc., the actors confirmed their synergies, and director Lee Jung-Seob led the effort with detailed orchestration. 'Dan, Only Love', from its very first day of work showing off fervent energy and immersion so brilliantly thus, just how fantastic a drama will be unfolded (for us) is adding to our anticipation.

EDIT

Just have to add that I love the pic above - Shin Hye-Sun looks so happy and chill, so content to be where she is (this way way back 2 months ago already).

And this is from IG ofr 'Rexbody' , with ballet theater scene from 'One and Only Love'.

 

From what I read here (https://rexbody.wixsite.com/rexbody) , this company provided consultancy and exercise program of body alignment and movement to increase mobility performance and to prevent muscle and joint injury (especially for dancer).  I'm so glad that KBS and PD-nim hired an expert team to look after all ballet dancers and actors in this drama.

L seems to match with this role. 

 

 

 

 

 

[immorethant]

At least we know what our lead couple doing today   

 

http://www.newsis.com/view/?id=NISX20190327_0000600878

 

Drama 'Dan, One love'  shooting at Incheon Art Center.

 

 

(summarized from google translation)

 

Beautiful Incheon art center and concert hall will be broadcast in drama. The Incheon Free Economic Zone Authority held a MOU with the drama production company Victory Contents to support KBS drama 'Dan, One Love' shooting at the Art Center floor on Mar 27th.

 

The agreement ceremony was attended by Kim Jin-yong, director of the Incheon Economic Commission, Lee Hak-gyu, head of the arts center, Jo Yoon-jeong, Victory Contents representative, Lee Jeong-seop, drama director and actress Shin Hye-sun and actor Kim Myung-soo.

 

Another article (http://m.joongdo.co.kr/view.php?key=20190327010011698) also said that "The drama is shot in the concert hall stage, auditorium, lobby, plaza, multipurpose hall, rehearsal room, etc." 

 

So this art center will be the main location of this drama.

I thought there would be little dancing here, as the angel should help the girl who lost her sight and stopped dancing. But now I see that we will be shown a lot of ballet. It is perfectly! I want to see more stories about the backstage of this art form.

Thank you and welcome, @Friendly kitty yes Koreans are good dancers too and there's much I want to see presented from pro ballerinas and ballerinos and all kinds of dancers thru this drama. If the episodes are such that we see great actual ballet performances, I would love that, too.

And thank you @immorethant for the link to the vid. I love these modern performance venues with 360 view, much more intimate than a theater seating arrangement.

Do you know who will create the page of this drama in wikipedia? KBS?? Or we can create it by ourselves. I haven’t seen it yet

Hi, I found the page in wikipedia Korea. But no page in English, I think wikipedia's user can create page by themselves but for me I think the steps are quite difficult.

We don't have to worry about our drama directly competing with Vagabond :-)

Suzy & Lee Seung Gi's upcoming drama 'Vagabond' pushed back to September

Suzy and Lee Seung Gi's drama 'Vagabond' has been pushed back to September.

On April 2, a rep from the drama stated, "The SBS drama 'Vagabond' originally slated for May has been delayed until September." The delay is reported to have occurred due to discussions with Netflix about airing times. 

'Vagabond' began as a project in June of 2018 when the script reading took place, and it's experienced multiple delays since then. Though it was scheduled to premiere following the finale of 'Big Issue', it's not set to premiere after the series 'Absolute Boyfriend'.

 

Stay tuned for updates.

I'm quite sure it was taken at Incheon Art Center which is the location of this drama.

Below pic captured from the art center introduction Youtube video that I posted earlier above, it's the same place.

 

 

Even from back shot, this ballet dress is so beautiful and elegant, really excited to see the dance troupe in the drama.

Woo Hee-Jin Joins 'Dan Only Love', to Work 'Inseparably (closely) with Shin Hye-Sun'

http://tenasia.hankyung.com/archives/1692939

 

Woo Hee-Jin has taken up  the role of Jung Yu-Mi, 'General Secretary' to Lee Yeon-Seo in DOL.

She is a live-in, comprehensive (총괄, takes care of everything) secretary and feisty/quick-witted work-a-holic, one who will help Yeon-Seo and Dan both materially and emotionally, this generation's all-capable*** career woman. Woo Hee-Jin aims to show inseparable bosom-buddy synergy with Shin Hye-Sun.

*** 츤데레 has multiple hip meanings, including 'cold on the outside but warm on the inside'. Arises from Japanese expression, and e.g. Lee Min-Ho was referred to as one in LotBS, etc.

우희진은 극 중 주인공 이연서의 저택 총괄집사 정유미역을 맡았다. 정유미는 저택 총괄 집사이자 야무진 워커홀릭으로, 연서와 단을 물심양면으로 도와주는 이 시대의 츤데레 커리어우먼. 우희진은 신혜선과 찰떡 호흡을 선보일 예정이다.

Thanks and welcome back @iffy21! Life is Short, we can't predict the future - so to borrow from a young man's motto from another of Shin Hye-Sun's dramas, "Don't Think, Feel!" - I don't worry about who else is on when SHS is at work - I FEEL great about what's coming soon!

Yesss!!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

[immorethant]

Woo Hee-Jin was also in 'Queen For Seven Days' from the same director of 'One and Only Love'. It's like this director prefer to select the same cast for his new drama (i.e. Lee Dong-Gun, Do Ji-Won).

Because she play as Yeon-Seo's secretary, is it possible that she is the one that Yeon Seo talked to in below script? (from earlier translated and posted by @meechuttso) 

 

SHS: If you act like daddy just once more, (sends shivers) This time you're really fired.

 

And again, last time we have 'Jennifer, tsundere housemaid'

This time we have 'Jung Yu-mi, tsundere secretary'

 

 

** Note tsundere (ツンデレ) is Japanese term. The word is derived from the terms tsun tsun (ツンツン), refers to someone who acts cold, blunt, or curt. The onomatopoeia itself is actually the sound of someone sticking their nose up in the air, or turning away in disgust. And dere dere (デレデレ) describes someone who is affectionate or lovey-dovey.

(edited) Kim Myung-soo was spotted today filming drama.  But as always, no one ever spotted our mysterious ballerina.
