Draaama

🎤: Another love story this time?

🦁: It’s a romantic drama.

🐢: Yes. But what makes it different from our previous works is precisely the drama part. The dramatic elements are much deeper and richer this time. I’ve been wanting to do a really realistic, heavy romantic drama for a long time.

🎤: Do you guys ever have dramatic moments in real life too?

🐢: Fans only get to see our “drama” on stage during shows or concerts, I guess.

🦁: Yeah, it wasn’t really like that in the series before.

🎤: So there hasn’t been that kind of heavy drama in the series until now.

🐢: Exactly.

🎤: Is this your first super-heavy project?

🦁: “Super-heavy”… I can’t say for sure, but there’s this lingering, smoldering atmosphere throughout the whole story—like some kind of scent in the air.

🐢: Mhm.

🦁: Even just watching the teaser, you feel the romance, but there’s also a slight serious undertone. You start wondering, “Wait, what happened in these two characters’ past?”

🎤: Between romance and drama, which is harder for you two?

🦁: Drama. For me, at least.

🎤: Why? In real life…

🐢: Honestly, romantic scenes with P’Sing are never hard for Krist. Drama depends on the project and context. If it’s family-related drama, it’s super easy for Krist—he feels it instantly. But when the drama is about romantic relationships, it can be a bit trickier.

🦁: For me, the hardest is dramatic crying scenes. I’m not great at dramatic acting… I do feel the emotions inside, but expressing them outwardly isn’t my strong suit.

🎤: Maybe because you haven’t had that kind of intense experience in life?

🦁: Whoa, that’s too deep 55555 No, I just need time. If someone says “cry right now,” I can’t do it instantly. Even eye drops dry up too fast on me.

🎤: 55555

🦁: So crying scenes are tough and take time for me.

🎤: How do you adjust to each other on set then? Everyone says Krist is really good at crying.

🦁: When we act together, it’s like playing catch. I never know if Sing will be able to cry in that take, but I always try to give my emotions 100 % because we’re passing them back and forth.

🎤: But isn’t he (Krist) naturally a very sensitive person? Shouldn’t drama be easy for him?

🐢: For example, there was a crying scene in the teaser. At first the emotion just wouldn’t come. So the moment the director yelled “cut,” I immediately said, “P’Sing, can I hold your hand for a sec?”

🦁: To help him focus and build the emotion.

🐢: Physical contact really helps me get into the dramatic state. So right after “cut,” I grab his hand, let go when we roll again, and boom—I can cry instantly.

🎤: Why? Like he’s giving you power?

🦁: Friendship power?

🎤: Why does touching him work so well?

🦁: Probably because my face just looks dramatic by default?

🐢: Hmm… I think it’s personal, but when you’re doing a heavy scene and someone’s about to cry, a simple touch can make the tears flow even more. It’s that kind of feeling.

🎤: So he’s your safe zone, someone you can completely let go with, body and soul…?

🐢: That’s definitely part of it. Another reason is… when I do crying scenes with P’Sing, a lot of real-life experiences we’ve been through together overlap with the script. We sync emotionally really easily.

🎤: So those shared memories become the trigger?

🐢: Exactly. They’re like the spark that lights everything up.
