'Assistant Durian' director Shin Woo-chul opened his mouth to the collaboration with writer Phoebe (Lim Seong-han), saying, "As expected."
On the afternoon of the 22nd, an online production presentation was held for the TV Chosun weekend mini-series 'Missy Durian'. Director Shin Woo-chul, actors Park Joo-mi, Choi Myeong-gil, Kim Min-jun, Han Ga-gam, Jeon No-min, Yun Hae-young, Ji Young-san, Yoo Jeong-hoo, and Lee Da-yeon attended the event.
'Missis Durian' is a bizarre and timeless fantasy melodrama about two women and the Dan family who appear during a lunar eclipse that coincides with a party held at the Dan family's villa. Writer Phoebe, who wrote 'See and See Again', 'Mermaid Lady', and 'The Tale of a New Gisaeng', was in charge of the script. Moreover, director Shin Woo-cheol directed 'Secret Garden', 'A Gentleman's Dignity', and 'Gu Family Book'.
Regarding the collaboration with writer Phoebe, director Shin Woo-cheol said, "I met her for the first time while working on this work. I only heard about it through rumors and news. She is such a mysterious and mysterious person. Fear was 90% and expectation was 10%. A hit for nearly 30 years. As expected, it was as expected. When I read the script for the first part, I felt the inner strength and had no choice but to admit it."
The situation where expectations are amplified by meeting with the writer Phoebe even before the airing. When asked about how to overcome the burden, director Shin Woo-cheol said, "It's very simple. I think the script is everything in a drama. A well-written script, actors acting well, an environment in which actors can act well, I think that is all a director does. I try to understand the script written by Phoebe. The script is difficult at first. There are many hidden delicacies. I constantly try to capture unique emotions, facial expressions, and movements."
Director Shin Woo-cheol, who cast new actors in an unprecedented way, told the behind-the-scenes story of Lee Da-yeon and Yoon Jeong-hoo. He said, "Thinking about it, it was reckless. The roles played by actors Lee Da-yeon and Yoon Jeong-hoo are not small roles. They are almost the same as the main characters. From the beginning, we agreed with the writer. In order to find the image that best matches the character image written in the script, I went through the 4th audition for established and new actors from June of last year. Not only the image, but also the acting ability to learn is important. I wondered if newcomers could do difficult acting, but I practiced calling them to the office every day and acting until I vomited before filming. The dialogue is basic, and the result of researching it all in advance will be broadcast on Saturday.
'Missy Durian' will be broadcast for the first time on the 24th at 9:10 PM KST.
