•❤• PK Producer's Cut DVD: The Search for OHN •❤•


GF Bella Bee translated the two parts interview of the producer on the topic,  'How MM landed the role of Oh Hani".

(Note:  The 2 parts interview are from PK Producer's Cut DVD 4 and 10)

PD:  Our production ran into a problem.  We got KHJ for BSJ role early on but had difficulty for OHN's role.  No matter how hard we tried, we could not find the actress suited to play the role of OHN.  We had to delay the filming until we met Jung So Min at the last minute. That's why the production was rushed.

PD:  My most memorable moment when talking about this drama was your audition.  The place was in MBC studio... it was about a.m. after you finished shooting for BG (Bad Guy).  PD Fan and I were waiting for you.
             



PD:  For OHN role, we spent a long time looking for the right actress but never found her.  We were like drowning in the pool who was willing to grasp at anything we could.
              Then, we met you.  When you entered the room, I thought "I found her" and also "this is worth every moment and effort we spent on looking for OHN".  Do you remember anything about it?

JSM:  I felt that it wasn't an audition...  it was more like a talk or discussion.




PD:  At that time my only worry was PD Fan, he kept silent throughout the audition.  He didn't speak... not a single word -- he just sat quietly.
               I was really annoyed and thought "why is it only me who kept talking".  However, my eyes met with PD fan and we just looked at each other quietly.  Usually, if our eyes meet means we are both satisfied.  The fact was our management also like you a lot.

JSM:  I almost didn't attend the audition.  I have been asked several times before but because I just finished a drama, it was hard to decide to do the next project quickly at that time.
