Today is Lee Jiah’s first shooting date.
She hid her long hair and wore a short hair wig for her role.
It matched real well with her neat and oval facial structure.
Her first shooting proceeded in the jail.
She was expected to be nervous because she is new to the screen
but she acted naturally. She had probably rehearsed a lot.
She wasn’t scared to make mistakes, but it seemed that she didn’t know
how to fix her mistakes due to the unaccustomed filming site.

Hisaishi Joe visited the filming site in the afternoon.
He is a well known musician and many think him as their god.
I would like to introduce him clearly.
He handles most of the music of Miyazaki Hayao’s works, who is
the master of animation, and composed music for Director Kitano Dakeshi’s
movies and a Korean movie, “Welcome to Dongmakgol”.
He has a great mind for music.
He took charge of the music of our drama and visited the filming site for the first time.
He showed up in all black wearing pants, a turtle neck shirt, cap, and sunglasses.
I thought musicians had delicate and difficult characteristics
but, he was an affectionate man who was very kind and enjoyed smiling.
So, we called him “Uncle Joe”.
Uncle Joe looked around the studio with the director after greeting.
He watched the procedures quietly from behind during the filming.
He was concerned about the interruptions, so he refused to sit down on the chair
which was provided by the staff next to the director.
It was impressive to see him walking quietly making no footstep sounds.
Just like this, it said that he enjoyed visiting the filming site sometimes.
It looked like he wanted to receive the feeling of creation.
With what kind of music, how surprising can he be?
I’m really looking forward to it.
He said that he would do his best not to disappoint the Korean fans.

Today is Bae Yong Joon’s first shooting and is shooting with Lee Jiah
for the first time. It is very important to show Suzinee’s loquacious mannerism
during the scene.
But, Lee Jiah’s acting is stiff today.
Is it because it is the first time acting with a top star Bae Yong Joon?
If not, is it due to the vast amount of lines?
She lost her lines and made several mistakes.
Bae Yong Joon’s waiting time was extended for those reasons
as he watched her quietly.
The temperature was high inside the studio making the casts sweat profusely
due to the several layered customs, thick make-up, and the heat of the lights.
Managers used fans for the casts whenever there were chances and
make-up artists touched up the cast.
Moon Sori arrived at the filming site for the test filming in the afternoon.
Now, all of the important casts of the drama gathered.
But, there always was tension at the filming site where the leading casts gathered.

Location: Yicheon
Weather: Rain
It rained all night long and the heavy rain warning was issued in Seoul.
Water of the gold bathtub was over–flowering in the studio in Yicheon.
This gold bathtub was made in China especially for the filming of Lady Yeon’s
delivery in water.
Kim Seongyeong wrapped her stomach with large sponges and
started to shoot the delivery scene. This scene is important.
According to the birth of the successor, the new development of fighting
for power will be revealed.
Is there a more beautiful scene of delivery than this?
Park Sangwon (acts as Yeon Garyeo) had his first filming today.
He was quiet during the filming due to either the hot temperature or
being absorbed in all of the emotions.
