When Se Kyung shed tears, I cried

Special cameo?

1st outdoor shooting.

......

The reality as a poor man till the end, make up a gloomy face and dressed in somber.

No matter how troublesome it got,  I'm immersed in So Inchan.

.....

Only 3 special appearances, and seen Geun Young not long ago, it's rather than the 1st time to visit a friend's home, it's hard to break up with Se Kyung like we already together 6 years.

Can people tell?

Me crying is bcos the tears of Se Kyung in front of me

Not thinking of her screen, but the Se Kyung who is trying to make me Inchan.

Do not think it is the reconciliation from a partner actress?

To my memory, Moon Geun Young is not a demure nor jiggly actress but a well prepared partner with upright character.

Was a short period of time, but feel stressful too for the scene of break up, as we just meet (in reality) and very next we go separate ways (in drama).

Feel caring for each other and seems having faith in partner, working in good match.

Acting together made me happy, 'Cheongdam Dong Alice' hits the jackpot continuously

(translation) Bazaar Nov issue interview - Moon Geun Young, heart of waiting

Moon Geun Young is back becoming an ordinary 26 young lady in the drama 'CheongdamDong Alice'.

As if Moon Geun Young fully understood of James Ellroy "waiting is a great work of art, expect nothing further is even greater art than waiting" (translator: did not find the related quote of James Ellroy himself in English version yet), Moon Geun Young is as sensible as ever, during the 2 years of waiting, she was bubbling over with energy  for a restart.

Editor / Yun Hye Jeoung

The day before the interview, I turned on TV, Moon Geun Young was running (translator remark: as guest appearance of Running Man episode 114) she was laughing, she did play the game well.

In "Capable Man" presence, who like her from early age, her cheeks flamed , and   kept cooling/fanning her face with hands.

When the X-man identity was revealed, her face looked as if she had been betrayed, disappointment clouded her face.

The reason why I enjoy the show is because of the process of jumping, rolling, running, celebrities give no choice but the real face expressions.

Although I can not call it "True color",  but at that moment, it is the instinctive reflection.

How long did I see bloodshot-forehead (translator: with veins on the temples) Moon Geun Young screaming with laughter like this last time?

She started acting rather early, acknowledged wide ranges as a girl, a woman, a character actress,  a model of actress, while quite a lot of people engraved her as 'avatar of moral'.

Growing-ups dare not to live in moral , but they feel like  (bad or can be worse) to have Moon Geun Young live in moral life.

The so called "Moral" concept is enormous and obscure, rather than good deed, when such a burden affected  her acting territory, that could be a problem, even so, she is eager in self-exploration,  it might be difficult for her to keep working enthusiastically under such an attention.

Therefore, it can not be more than an hour a variety show to reveal all of Moon Geun Young, yet it was a fact that Moon Geun Young was laughing, discarded all about judging or defining her as 

philosophic, sexy, and exemplary.

That night, I saw a comment from internet "Moon Geun Young the beautiful thing, we had  forgotten for a while", I agree with Korea Mr. X's "enlightenment". 

During interim of shootings, Moon Geun Young lower her head in a brown study like "Girl with a Pearl Earring" the work of Johannes Vermeer.  I wonder, can not wait and curious in knowing.

(go to the Q&A, Q=Bazzar, A=Moon Geun Young)
Q: Usually, actress will choice the talk show, as it is thriving, and she can talk about herself.  I was curious why you choose a running all the way, no talking but just playing game?
A: Sometimes, I am scared to talk about myself, it seems that I tends to avoid it when I am in a work  activity.  I am such a person, on the other hand, I do not have much experiences to talk about the value, dream and such.  Even getting older and thing changed, at some points, I will think it is right thing, and I sincerely believe so, but later on, I wonder myself why I was talking like that? When I think like this way, I was struck with awe.
In addition, I didn't watch TV all the time, but Running Man is my favorite show, so when the offer came to me, I accepted it.
When I try to express in this way, I do not know any relationship between the reason I appeared in Running Man and your query.  (laughs)

Q: In a previous Bazaar's interview, you said "Live a life as an actress, seems I can not have my own life", then shortly, you rested your activities, cause-and-effect formed naturally, how long have you been?
A: I think, I had fallen into self-pity at the time I was doing the interview.  Even people envy me about my profession, when I had fallen this way of thinking "this is not a job you will envy", I didn't think my life is real, I was even felt like the most pathetic human (laughs)
Of course, I used to identify myself from all kind of people I encountered from work, I feel that is interesting and not too bad as a fulfilled live actress Moon Geun Young.
So anyway, even it will be all in vain, but I will do my best till the end. So far, I have been thinking 'what did I do?'  'How should I do?' 'Who am I?' even 'what is acting?' I，d had been wandering.

Q： Was the unconsciously wandering connected to the two-year break? A: It seems unlikely,however, I do not worry myself seriously, just spent my days absent-mindedly. Neither studied hard completely nor overjoyed, I could had my after school activities if I wanted to, and I did try. People do not know thing was turned into something it's not, in such process, I could lose my confidence, and kept walking into my castle on my own. Q: What made you decided to emerge from wandering and back to the world?
A: For a while at any moment, I felt suspicion and unwell. I had stuck in so tightly for the passed time, now I have to over it and have my one step ahead, be myself and change smoothly. I am not sure if there is any apparent reason to keep living in my castle, I am full to the limit, so I have to come out in order to alleviate these loadings (translator: until Oct 29, via MGY's cyworld page, she still talked to herself to 'empty, take out' these wanderings) 

Q: Balance of life will instinctively fit, furthermore, master the process of living reasonably, let it be shall we? When it is hard, you must get some rests, it is not so bad to leave a long time there in that way. 
A: I knew it lately. I used to be a kind of girl whose mind was full of worries and concerns created by myself naturally, when thing went well, I could not fully enjoy it. Always have fears and insecurities that I would be lose everything someday, thus, I would rather work even harder. Yet at least now, I knew why I was so impatient like that, I was freighting and running after such a life I want to live. No more alternation of laughter and tears, Sholud be broadened my outlook on life, look farther and lead a life. Right now, anything share (joys and sorrows) or dare not to (show up), such thoughts nothing helpful, if I keep thinking in this way, "later" will be my excuse. Have a future, create a future, I will have goal or dream to make it happen. So nowadays, it seems I have much time with pleasure.

Q: It seems that you have spent the meaningful time reading books, seeing movies,listening to music?
A: No. I was just in a daze. shut myself alone in my room with all kinds of needlessly thoughts. reading was the same too, the more I read, the more tie together thinking I gain, so I have to go out (translator: do not think it over, Korean way of expression is very different to Western, ka). Seeing movie alone at home is the same, I immersed myself overly emotion, was no good.

(way too busy these days, to be continue....)
