![]() She said that the movie helped her to think of her family. But now, I am beginning to learn how to support others in the film and know where to relax and where not to back out.” When I was young, I was too concerned about my acting performances only. “At some point in my career, I realized making a film is working together. “My role was to pepper the father-son relationship in the film,” said Song, who had mostly played lead roles in the past. The film mostly centers on the protagonist Ah-reum, played by Jo Sung-mok, who had to undergo five hours of aging makeup before shooting. Maybe the happier it gets, sadness escalates.” “I liked the fact that the characters are bright and cheerful, quite the contrary from traditional films related to illness. “The circumstances are tragic, but the film gracefully draws humor out of Ah-reum and his parents, which I think elicit heartfelt tears,” said the actress.

She plays 33-year-old Mi-ra, who had her son Ah-reum at the age of 17. It took a different kind of courage for her to play a mother for the first time, though her character is not a typical mother. This required some courage for Song, who spoke in her distinctive composed tone. But as she could not hide, she decided to accept her faults and face her fate. It was frightening to be back in the spotlight after the scandal, even for the veteran actress who had maintained a clean-cut reputation throughout her 17-year career. ![]() “(Doing promotional work) was a promise I made with the film, so I could not break another promise.”Īctress Song Hye-kyo poses for a photo during an interview with The Korea Herald in Samcheong-dong, Seoul, Monday. “But as much as I take the sole blame for my faults, I had the responsibility to minimize the damage the scandal had on the movie crew who worked so hard for this film,” she said. I wasn’t sure if I should appear before the public or not and if doing an interview was the right thing to do,” said Song. “It resulted because of my ignorance and carelessness.
