Chapter 19
The behind-the-scenes content team was completely excited.
“Doyeon, I….”
“Again!”
“Ah, I haven’t even finished my lines yet!”
“Hmm, lines!”
“Doyeon….”
“Again, LIIINES!”
“This is driving me crazy!”
The child actor Yeon Do-yeon, who had once completely owned the script reading with her voice and immersion, was doing it again! The content practically produced itself just from her!
“What exactly is the problem!”
“It’s awkward! What kind of Yeon Do-hoon is this!”
“‘Yeon Do-hoon’? You’re talking informally…!”
“I’m asking, what kind of Yeon Do-hoon is this!”
When they first began acting coaching, arranged by Seong Hye-sim, it had been so awkward the atmosphere around them seemed frozen. But as they shared coaching, the two had already grown closer.
“Wow, Joo Sae-i, you try it!”
“Yes, I’ll do it! Watch me!”
It almost felt like just shouting back and forth…
Either way, to anyone watching, it was simply an interesting scene.
A rookie filming her debut scolding her senior, giving nearly perfect acting in a role that wasn’t even hers.
Truly, everything was fresh and exciting.
And moreover…
“The visuals are coming out again. How are the actors Yeon Do-yeon and Yeon Do-hoon doing that?”
“Exactly. The vibe is amazing, really.”
Of all things, the content was capturing Yeon Do-yeon and Yeon Do-hoon as siblings in the story.
From the behind-the-scenes team’s perspective, it felt like luck had just rolled in naturally.
“…How’s my Yeon Do-hoon?”
“…Wow, good! You do Do-hoon! One person, two roles, perfect!”
“Don’t say things you don’t mean!”
“Then what do you want me to do! Even if you’re good, I’m like this!”
“If we’re being technical, senior is actually pretty good too. Don’t you know it’s harder to teach someone skilled?”
“…Really?”
Oh, now he was laughing and happily taking coaching.
By now, Byeon Seo-jun, who had looked flustered after missing his lines, seemed to have overcome his own feelings.
He raised his hand above the much smaller Joo Sae-i’s head as if thanking her.
The handsome man’s face, smiling with relief as if a weight had lifted from his heart, was captured perfectly by the behind-the-scenes camera. His smile was so refreshing it made anyone watching feel lighter.
“I’ve set it up! What if I have to do my hair again?”
“Do it, then.”
“This is driving me crazy!”
Previously, it had been Byeon Seo-jun complaining, but now the situation had reversed.
Joo Sae-i’s struggle to break free from Byeon Seo-jun’s grasp was being filmed, looking incredibly adorable.
“Oh, kicking and flailing.”
“…!”
“I don’t know why I was afraid of you. You just acted well, you’re actually a sweet kid.”
“Does that mean the issue of me not being able to say my lines is solved now?”
“Yes. Thanks to you.”
Sae-i, finally freeing herself from Byeon Seo-jun’s hands, smiled brightly as if relieved.
The uncles, who had just been watching the filming, laughed along. They were unknowingly becoming fans of Joo Sae-i.
“…Aren’t they really siblings?”
“Even the vibe is somewhat similar. Casting was perfect…”
Filming the pair as they bickered like real siblings but quickly softened, the entire behind-the-scenes team licked their lips. It was a scene that would make editing fun.
The team leader, who had been around the video industry for a while, sensed instinctively:
‘Once Episode 1 airs and the behind-the-scenes footage drops, the reaction will be insane.’
(EN) [Making-of] The bratty sibling duo Full of twists behind the camera #YourBlueName｜EP.1
[Making Shorts] How does Yeon Do-yeon act as Yeon Do-hoon? Child prodigy appearing #YourBlueName #KDS
It was already clear the duo’s chemistry would set YouTube comment sections and online communities ablaze.
Choosing to receive coaching from Joo Sae-i had been the right decision.
When she was first grabbed by Seong Hye-sim and brought to Joo Sae-i, she hadn’t expected it to be this effective.
Joo Sae-i didn’t teach much. She simply observed, showed her own acting, and gave her the chance to realize things herself.
‘Getting closer… she really feels like a younger sibling…’
The senior who had been nervous initially, now seeing Joo Sae-i scolding like a little chihuahua, reminded her of the younger sibling she had at home.
The moment Joo Sae-i felt comfortable, gaps in her own acting became apparent—specifically, the parts she had missed trying not to be overshadowed in front of Sae-i.
‘I understand why Seong Hye-sim suggested the coaching now.’
Acting isn’t done alone; it blends with the other person. Understanding Joo Sae-i, interacting freely, helped her see what Yeon Do-hoon really needed to be.
It felt like breathing life into her previously stagnant acting.
During the resumed scene filming, Byeon Seo-jun and Joo Sae-i received an OK on their take without a single NG.
From then on, filming continued smoothly. Even after finishing his scenes for the day, Byeon Seo-jun stayed on set.
Just to watch Joo Sae-i’s Yeon Do-yeon more.
Simply watching her made him feel he could improve further.
Soon, the set prepared for the last scene of the day.
“They said you caused a ruckus with Byeon Seo-jun.”
Do Je-hyun, arriving late after a photo shoot, spoke to me as I rested.
Since the setup wasn’t finished, a makeup artist was beside him.
Because of Do Je-hyun’s tight schedule, we only had one short scene to film with Doyeon and Ha-jin that day.
‘And they put so much effort into that one scene. He really is working hard.’
Would I need to live like Do Je-hyun when I’m busy? Honestly, I was more excited than scared.
‘I want to film more, faster…’
Once I experienced the thrill of the set, I felt addicted.
Ah, I wonder when my next project will come… I quietly imagined myself prowling like a hyena for my next role.
By the way, a ruckus! How dare he say that about my sacred coaching!
I was itching to explain how effective the coaching had been.
If he knew that every scene with Byeon Seo-jun went perfectly without a single NG, he couldn’t call it a ruckus!
Do Je-hyun would never know how much the staff praised me.
Even Byeon Seo-jun, though he had finished his scenes, stayed on set for a long time, probably grateful in his heart. Though he had other commitments, of course.
“…Anyway, don’t get involved with him unnecessarily.”
“Why?”
To my memory, Byeon Seo-jun had no controversies.
Ah, not exactly. There had been a brief robot-acting controversy after he switched to acting… but his endless effort and basic talent resolved it.
Do Je-hyun, looking puzzled, added:
“He’s not a bad person, I know him personally too.”
“…Then why?”
“I’m afraid he’ll act scary toward you. You even yelled during coaching earlier.”
…Didn’t he hear me yell too?
My heart immediately calmed at Do Je-hyun saying he wasn’t a bad person.
We’d become somewhat close, and if he had been shady, I wouldn’t be able to focus on filming.
“Anyway, if he picks on you, tell me.”
First, he warns me not to get involved because Seo-jun might scare me, then he says to tell him if Seo-jun picks on me…
I appreciated it, but Do Je-hyun, who ignored me rudely when we first met, hardly had the right to say that.
And! There was one thing he hadn’t realized.
“No, but I’m your older sister.”
“….”
“Don’t pretend you didn’t hear that.”
He probably thought he could call me “you” because he forgot I was older. How annoying.
“You heard all that….”
“Doyeon, let’s get ready to shoot Ha-jin’s scene!”
Timing was against me.
At that moment, Do Je-hyun, finished with setup, got up at the staff’s call. He didn’t respond to me saying I was his older sister, simply extended his hand to me as I remained seated.
“Let’s go.”
I grasped his hand, thinking let’s just finish this and go home, and looked up at him.
‘…Now I understand why they cast Do Je-hyun.’
His slightly lowered tone, sun-kissed skin, naturally styled hair, and minimal effort in appearance—it was perfect.
He looked uninterested in decoration, but just from his natural features, he could easily win the hearts of villagers in a rural town.
Do Je-hyun was Yu Ha-jin personified.
