• Song Hye Kyo Reveals Shocking Behind-the-Scenes Story of How She Got Cast in ‘Autumn in My Heart’—So Many People Were Against It

    Actress Song Hye Kyo has shared a surprising behind-the-scenes story about how she landed her iconic role in the drama Autumn in My Heart.

    In a recent video released on the YouTube channel ‘Yo Jeong Jae Hyung’ on January 12th, Song Hye Kyo opened up about her experience working with director Kim Byeong Wook, revealing how demanding he was on set.

    “Director Kim didn’t like changing lines, even the smallest details,” she said. “He hated it when things weren’t perfect, and he really didn’t like mistakes.”

    The actress continued by recalling her time on the sitcom Soonpoong Clinic, where she learned the importance of quick reflexes.

    “He had to have quick reflexes, and he really hated it when anything went wrong,” she said. “He preferred having the lines perfect.”

    Song Hye Kyo also shared how she used to memorize the script after reading it just once, which helped her with her early roles.

    That sitcom really helped raise my profile and get my name out there,” she explained. “But after that, I went straight into Autumn in My Heart.”

    However, the transition wasn’t as easy as it seemed. “The issue was, after doing a sitcom, I didn’t feel welcome in the serious drama world,” she admitted. “The pace was too fast, and I had just played a tomboyish character in the sitcom.”

    She also revealed how difficult it was to adjust to her role in Autumn in My Heart, where she played a terminally ill character.

    “I didn’t feel the vibe at all, and so many people opposed it,” she confessed. “I wasn’t a comedian, and getting used to the quick-paced delivery of the sitcom, I had to slow it down for my serious role with Song Seung Heon. I struggled to find the rhythm.”
