[HyeKyo'sHouse](Vietsub)Song Hye Kyo Kang Dong Won @ Hong Kong Star Talk interview 20141105

Hello everyone my name is Song Hye-kyo Hello everyone I'm Kang Dong Won Today's StarTalk features a special interview with two of Korea's most beloved stars Kang Dong Won and Song Hye Kyo These stylish stars reunite on the big screen once again four years after their previous film collaboration "Camellia " Playing the role of young parents who have a son with a terminal illness since the age of seventeen The film carries a deeply poignant atmosphere making it a significant challenge Qiao Mei and male lead Kang Dong Won are collaborating again after four years— their last project together was *Camellia * How does it feel working with him again When meeting Jang Dong-yoon in person I saw his passion and desire for acting It's been four years since I last worked with Kang Dong Won and this time our collaboration was extremely brief We shot together over a dozen times in just one month by then were very close and we also became familiar with the nearby actors For more than four years I've been with Kang Dong-won I've been acquainted with Kang Dong Won all along The difference between then and now isn't entirely clear yet because we've always been close The difference between then and now I temporarily left Korea to join the military then returned to acting Kang Dong-won has been actively working in both Korea and China but has remained especially dedicated to his work in Korea As professional actors they've set aside their previous images for this new drama and delivered many firsts Regarding Qiao Mei's role in this new drama it represents a breakthrough for you Because not only does she have to play a mother this time Qiao Mei is also taking on the challenge of swearing on screen for the first time and given her usual gentle image will this be a surprise to herself Is it a major psychological hurdle to overcome This time for the movie since it's rated for viewers aged 15 and up I've never used any swear words in the film Swearing doesn't happen very often—it only appears in scenes that help reveal Qiao's character probably because I've never actually used swear words myself That's why people resort to swearing—yet what everyone's really worried about is This time for the movie I made a big sacrifice because I knew you'd be gaining 10 kilograms—did you also see yourself feeling unhappy watching yourself get heavier Do you often force yourself not to exercise It's really exhausting isn't it Because I'm not the type to naturally gain weight I've been steadily putting on pounds despite constantly working out Because I never gain weight as long as I keep eating my body type means I've just kept gaining weight constantly eating constantly exercising and after being away from campus for a while This time in the movie Qiao Mei has to play a high school student—was that difficult I felt a bit awkward the first time I tried it because I thought I’d never wear a school uniform again but with *Spider-Man* Although I wore it in the film I only wore it briefly but this time I want to portray a remarkably youthful 17-year-old In terms of performance because both Jiang Dong-won and I have gone through the age of 17 So acting wasn't a problem at all but physically I looked nothing like the character I was playing back then so I was a bit worried But Kang Dong-won said he thought it was fine—though I may come off as rough around the edges the producer really liked me So I think it's still manageable but this film should be the last time I step away from campus for a while to play a high school student What do you find most challenging about it Actually ten years later I wore my school uniform again in the film *Wolf Desire* I was playing a high school student back then around 23 years old portraying a teenager and now ten years later I'm wearing the school uniform again I don't think there's much of a difference Although there's a little difficulty I don't think it's a major problem I personally think this movie should be the final farewell from school but both Song Yijiao and I wore our uniforms—she acted so naturally and they were all so adorable so lucky so incredibly cute so fortunate This film should be the final one Ask Qiao Mei Have you ever imagined what kind of mother you'll be in the future Will you be a loving affectionate mom or a strict disciplined one I would be A strict mother to them I'd be like Mira—very much like a mom to your friends I'd be like Mira—very much like a mom to your friends So I'll be very much like a mom to my friends In the drama Director Lee Seung-hyun's father having sacrificed his dreams for the sake of his son who was terminally ill raises the question: in real life would you give up your career for your family I would In addition to the family members who are actors If family is the path to happiness I'll do my best to follow it I have two important thoughts about work First work with joy Whether they're good or bad people Do you understand Just like Mr Gongzi said Love can only be given to those who are loved affection can only be offered to those who bring joy This is my creed so I will work with happiness Even if family leads down a path of sorrow I will still work with happiness If home is a path of misfortune I will work with joyful dedication Qiao Mei has recently taken on roles in Wong Kar-wai and John Woo's Chinese-language films and has also collaborated with numerous acclaimed actresses such as Leon Lai and Zhang Ziyi It seems they're actively trying to expand into overseas markets—releasing a Korean film wasn't even an option until 2011 So what exactly prompted this project In recent years Qiao Me has also taken part in many Mandarin-language films How does she feel about that And will she consider participating in more projects directed by other filmmakers in the future Your partner Song Hye-kyo has also starred in numerous Mandarin-language films I'm wondering if you'd be interested in acting in a Mandarin film yourself So I've always wanted to collaborate with Chinese people Who is the Chinese actor or director you'd most like to work with There isn't one in particular I just want to collaborate with talented crew members a great director and skilled actors I'm always mentally prepared I believe I'll do well and I also look forward to collaborating with Chinese people Is there anything you'd like to say to your fans in Hong Kong I'm always grateful for your warm welcome whenever I come to Hong Kong I hope you stay healthy and happy forever Thank you It would actually better to say goodbye in Hong Kong We've also practiced earlier though I thought it might be too funny but I'm really happy to be meeting all of you in Hong Kong and hope I can come here often Thank you for having me Looking forward to meeting all of you again someday—I 'll do my best Please continue to support us Thank you
