Actually I didn't plan to "officially" release this short article because it's nothing new. It has five main actors speaking a bit about their characters and favorite scenes. That's all. Article is around one week old, I guess, but can't verify this (and have absolutely no will to do it).
Forgive me any typos, unlike other translations I wrote not in Word, as usually everything, but directly here.
Here:
The
latter half of 2011 may be described as "TPM syndrome", "TPM
boom" as drama The Princess' Man was the hot topic. As it ended
with a "happy ending", we gathered some opinions from the main actors
about their the most memorable scenes.
From the first episode until the very last, drama was characterized with
sensuous cinematography and stunning development, filled with great
performances and unforgettable scenes. This is The Princess' Man. Both
leading actors who showed remarkable immersion into their roles share with us
some glimpses on most memorable moments.
"The Perfect Joseon Man" who changed into violent 'dark Seung-yu' was
played by Park Shihu who, as his most memorable scenes has chosen: swings (in
episode 3), drowning of the ship and escaping from the ship's convoy.
The
swing scene remains as the conclusive one when Seung-yu stole Seryeong's heart
(me: and not only hers, dammit!). 'Ship-turned-grave' scene although visually
stunning was one of the hardest and those both traits combined make it one of
the most vivid.
Seryeong also changed perfectly from the pure girl into determined young woman.
Mun Chaewon presented her favorite scenes saying: "In those scenes,
Seryeong's love is in its the most intense moments, making the heart ache, even
without acting". She was describing two scenes in ep 14, first when
Seryeong embraced insane with rage Seung-yu, and the second one - when she
blocked the arrow with her own body.
Those
got also lot of comments as well from others.
First, Park Shihu who played Kim Seung-yu who, amidst political whirlpool,
maintained his strong and beautiful love: "As it was my first time to
play the title role, I felt pressure upon me. However, I feel honoured I could
meet with revered seonbaenim, other actors, highly talented staff, also thanks
to viewers of this great series, and I would be happy if this work could remain
in the memory of everyone. It was also a big endeavour for me to grow up as an
actor."
Then Mun Chaewon who played Seryeong protecting their love with Seung-yu:
"The shooting consummed lot of time. Rather than being the work about
ups-and-downs of certain individuals, it is boiling with affection. At the
sheer thought that it ended I feel sad, and parting with the fellow crew is a
bit harsh."
Hong Suhyeon who played deprived the position by Suyang, ill-fated
Princess Gyeonghye: "Throughout the shooting I became Princess
Gyeonghye, and as times were becomming more and more harsh for me, the support
of viewers made me really happy.
Lee Minwu who played Jeong Jong said: "I'm extremely happy i could
play this character. Even though there were days without any sleep, in constant
pain, it's nothing, I'm happy. I'm filled with gratitude towards writers,
director, technical staff, fellow actors and viewers."
Song Jeongho who played Shin Myeon stated: "I tried my all to
present the reasons for Shin Myeon's behavior. I feel a little bit uneasy to
let it go so clearly. I amd grateful to everyone I encountered
here."
Much loved by everyone* series The Princess Man aired the grand finale
of the gripping story of the ultimate love of Seung-yu and Seryeong thrown into
tumultous whirlpool of politics.
