The behind-the-scenes story of the filming of 'Lovely Runner,' featuring popular actors Byeon Woo Seok and Kim Hye Yoon, has been revealed.

On June 29, the YouTube channel 'According to Insiders' released a video where two cinematographers, Yoon Dae Young and Shin Ki Chang, shared behind-the-scenes stories from the popular tvN drama 'Lovely Runner.'

In the video, Director Yoon Dae Young was asked, "What kind of actor is Byeon Woo Seok on set?" He praised Byeon, saying, "He is a determined actor. There have been times when he prepared hard for a role only for the project to be canceled suddenly. He's faced difficulties for nine years, which is well-known. He has steadily progressed to this point and, as the lead in 'Lovely Runner,' he has been in constant communication with the writer, preparing diligently."

On the other hand, Director Shin Ki Chang spoke highly of Kim Hye Yoon, saying, "In terms of acting experience, Kim Hye Yoon has much more than Byeon Woo Seok. It was admirable to see how she constantly tried to accommodate him."

Director Yoon added, "Usually, actors are filmed individually. It's rare to film both actors together in one shot, but when they did, Kim Hye Yoon always gave a full 100% reaction to support her co-actor, enhancing the performance."

When asked about the atmosphere on set, Director Shin said, "The chemistry between Kim Hye Yoon and Byeon Woo Seok was very real. The affectionate chemistry you see on screen wasn't just made up; they genuinely got along very well. It was to the point where one might wonder if something was going on between them. They were both very focused."

Director Yoon shared, "When Byeon Woo Seok and Kim Hye Yoon acted, you could see in their eyes that they genuinely cared for and loved each other. It was so touching that it brought me to tears. You could feel the innocence of first love."

When asked which kiss scene he was most satisfied with, he replied, "The kiss scene at the front door is my favorite. It felt like it took forever to film (laughs). It was a romantic comedy, but the kiss was quite long, almost melodramatic. I remember the two actors kissing for a long time."

Regarding the most challenging scene to shoot, he said, "We filmed the seasons in reverse. We shot summer scenes in winter. It was tough dealing with the cold and visible breath. There were many scenes where the actors had to fall into water in freezing weather."

Director Yoon added, "It was so cold that after the actors got out of the water, steam would rise from their bodies."

On the secret to the popularity of 'Lovely Runner,' they said, "The pre-production period was long. However, the director, writer, and actors didn't waste that time. They kept reading and revising. That extensive preparation is why we were able to produce good results during filming."

Actor Lee Min Ho recently shared an unforgettable and embarrassing moment from his early career, revealing how he became a “falling star” at his first Baeksang Arts Awards.

On the December 25th episode of You Quiz on the Block (Episode 274), Lee Min Ho made a guest appearance and reflected on his rise to fame.

The actor, known for his iconic role as Goo Jun Pyo in Boys Over Flowers, won the Best New Actor award at the Baeksang Arts Awards, but it wasn’t just his victory that grabbed attention.

Lee Min Ho recalled, "I was attending the Baeksang for the first time, and I was so excited. Since I wasn’t going as Goo Jun Pyo, but as Lee Min Ho, I styled my hair in a perm and was ready to go." However, things took an unexpected turn when he tripped and fell on the red carpet.

He sighed, recalling, "That day, I fell. I fell and created so many memes. Even now, I look back and think, 'How did I walk that quickly on the red carpet?'"

Laughing at his own clumsiness, he admitted, "I was moving at the speed of light, no composure, no focus. Honestly, more than the joy of winning the award, that day was chaotic and so embarrassing for me."

Though his win was a highlight, Lee Min Ho humorously shared that the incident of tripping overshadowed the excitement of his achievement.

It’s safe to say that while the fall became a funny meme, it also became a lesson in humility for the actor, and a moment that fans still remember to this day.
