[Eng - Son Ye-jin] Son Ye-jin - Interview With KBS View 2016

I'm Lee Deok-hye, the princess of Joseon. It's a tragic story. In the era when our country was taken away, there was a woman who lived as painfully as the tragedy of the country. I first came across it through the book, Deokhye Princess. I happened to go to the bookstore and bought the book, and one of the books was Deokhye Princess. It was a work that was like fate in many ways. And in a way, the pain of a woman's life I think I had a sense of responsibility and a sense of duty to express it well and convey it well to the audience. First of all, in order to express the things that we see and the situation of that era to many people in the movie, there was an operation to exile the royal family that actually remains in the record. There was an operation to exile our royal family, so I took it as a motif. If Deokhye Princess was in it, what would she have done? What would she have felt? I think about those things. The stories of people who actually mobilized for independence and the stories of those who surrounded Deokhye Princess in that situation. There are also some heartbreaking events in the movie. So I think there are a lot of stories that show the various eras of that time. It was a very difficult point to make a historical figure close to reality and shoot a movie. Because Deokhye Princess doesn't actually have a lot of data in history. And because we made a novel, it's a novel with fiction mixed in with the real life of Deokhye Princess. We made a novel and made it into a movie. In the process, I thought a lot about how I shouldn't underestimate Deokhye Princess and how I wanted the audience to enjoy watching it. The most important thing was the time that Deokhye Princess lived through and how well she showed her sorrow and approached it with sincerity. I think that was the biggest concern. I looked up a lot of materials while looking at photos of Deokhye Princess. And because we made a novel, I looked up interviews with Kwon Bi-young as well as conversations with the audience. I tried to find as many things as possible, but there weren't that many. In the case of the memoirs written by Young-Chin Nam and Lee Bang-ja, I kept looking up short stories about Deokhye Princess and how she was like and what kind of person she was. We had a lot of people with comfortable personalities. In the case of Mi-ran and Sang-hoon, they had a lot of positive, bright energy. Hye-il is also very comfortable and positive. The director is also very positive. So the set is very fierce. There are so many things to shoot in a day, and there are so many emotional scenes. Everyone focuses on shooting, but they try not to lose their humor. I think that's why we got along so well. A lot of people talked about that scene. It's a heartbreaking scene. I thought that Deokhye Princess would finally be able to return to her motherland, but when she was rejected, my heart ached from Jeong's point of view. The daughter had no choice but to see her mother like that. She lived a very painful life, so as a woman, there were a lot of points where I could sympathize and feel pity. I think that's why I kept getting hurt. I saw the movie for the first time at the press conference. I was worried that I might cry, but I was embarrassed to see my work and cry. When I wore kimono for the first time and went to Gwangju to study abroad, I saw a picture of Kim Won-ho dressed in black and white, but I felt very lonely. I was so old that I lost my mind, but I still remember the picture of Deokhye Princess coming down from the plane. I think that picture is still in my heart for a long time. As Deokhye Princess followed the tragedy of that era, she had no choice but to live a passive life as a royal family. I couldn't leave any great achievements or achievements, but my goal was to focus on the story of a human being who had no choice but to live like that. In the movie, you can see the independence movement and the image of the pro-Japanese movement. I think you'll feel a variety of things. I don't think it's getting bigger and bigger. I want to keep working on one piece at a time. My long-term goal is to act for a long time. Personally, I want to be remembered as an actor who can move people. The weather is very hot. If you come to a cool theater and watch Deokhye Princess, you will feel very hot. Grandchildren, grandmothers, grandfathers, mothers and fathers, please come and watch the movie together. Thank you.
