Dec. 22, 2009

Thanks a lot to coco who requested for this translation, thanks to flowerbossa who translated it from Japanese to English and shared in BYJ Quilt/ Freeboard #14741, and to our sisters who shared this VDO in You Tube specially to Yankeesob28.

The VDO Clip of Winter Sonata Interview took place several years ago, at Winter Sonata Time. This interview include Junsang, Yujin, & PD Yoon.

Below is the translation from Flowerbossa .

Interviewer: Here are the 3 of them from WLS. Hello.

BYJ,CJW & Yoon Suk Ho PD: Hello.

I: Park Sol Mi-ssi and Park Yong Ha-ssi mentioned they are watching you right on TV. Please give them a brief message.
BYJ: Yong Ha-ya, did your dance go well? PD, you say something too.
PD: Solmi, did you get drunk?
CJW: It’s because you won. You did good.

I: Is this an inside joke?

I: How’s the shooting coming along?
CJW: We’re still working on it.
BYJ: (to CJW) How long have you not slept?
CJW: About 4 days…?

I: How about you YJ-ssi?
BYJ: I slept a lot yesterday, about 4 hours?

I: Only four?!
CJW: That’s on the good side.
BYJ: It’s true. Before that it was about a total of 3 hours in 2 days.
PD: Why are you looking at me like that?
(everyone laughs^^)

I: PD, from your point of view, how’s their acting?
PD: I am very satisfied with their performances.

I: Really?
(BYJ & CJW are both laughing while looking down.)
PD: Why are you two looking down?
Thanks to them, this has turned into a great drama.

I: So you have no complaints?
PD: On their acting, I really….don’t.
(everyone is still laughing＾＾)

I: You’re being rather vague.
PD: I have nothing to say on their acting. But they resent me for making the work so hard. They seem to find it physically trying. I wish they had the endurance to put up with it.

I: BYJ-ssi, what do you think the PD’s weakness is?
BYJ: PD just mentioned that we had little endurance, but WE don’t doze off in the middle of a shooting!
Just who was it that collapsed after giving the cue?
(explaining to interviewer) You see, PD collapsed right after giving the cue – he would have hurt himself if there hadn’t been something in front of him.

I: Well then, what do you respect about him?
BYJ: As a PD, he has high expectations for his work. As a person, he is always gentle, pure, and always considerate towards others. But when it comes to work, he is completely different. He is so stubborn that I almost find myself resenting him.

I: Like when?
BYJ: When he won’t let me sleep… but wait a minute, yesterday, this wasn’t the case…
We had more to shoot, but PD said “ let’s do the rest tomorrow”.

I: Your hairstyle is the rage right now. Do you think it suits you?
BYJ: Yes.

I: It really does suit you. Maybe I should change mine like that too.
……

I: PD, what feature of CJW-ssi attracts you the most?
PD: Her eyes.

I: Her eyes? Why.
PD: They look honest and gentle.

I: Yes, I think so too.
PD: And her smile too. Her mouth is very beautiful when she smiles.

I: Does that make your heart beat? What do you think about you YJ-ssi?
PD: He has a special air with him. It’s true in WLS too -like a hero in a sad manga, he is like a prince in an imaginary world.

I: It seems all of you working on WLS are very close.
All: Yes.
I: Can you give us an episode?
CJW: The time PD collapsed on the set.
BYJ: That was the funniest moment.
CJW: BYJ-ssi was snoring (during a scene). But it can’t be helped. Everyone is very tired.

I: Was the kissing scene embarrassing for you?
BYJ: You are asking this to a grown up man.
CJW: It was good.

I: CJW-ssi, if a lover you had parted from 10 years ago appeared in front of you again in reality, what would you do?
CJW: Since the way they parted was just so sad, I think I would still like him 10 years later.

I: So you would choose your first love?
CJW: Yes, if I remained heartbroken for 10 years and couldn’t forget him.

I: How about you YJ-ssi?
BYJ: Yes, if it was like the situation in the drama, I would choose my first love.

I: So you would. SM-ssi and YH-ssi would have a hard time.
I: What do you find attractive about PSM and CJW respectively?
BYJ: With SM, she doesn’t put on airs, and is very honest with herself.
This may sound similar, but with wuri CJW, she has no lies and is a person with a pure heart.

I: How do you feel about PYH and BYJ?
CJW: On PYH, he is honest, and grown up for his age.
BYJ: Did he give you Chinese medicine?
CJW: He is a kind man who is considerate to those around him. With YJ-ssi, since he is older than us, he is a leader like presence who helps us pull through. As a partner too …

I: He’s wonderful.
C: Yes.

I: PD, how is this drama going to end?
PD: I talked to the script writer awhile ago, and they still seem to be agonizing over it.

I: How do you personally want to end it?
PD: As in the theme of the drama, “first love is forever”, I would like to see this love fulfilled”

I: Lastly a message to the viewers.
PD :Thank you for your support….
BYJ: Thank you for your support. I would like to appear in a better drama next time…oops, I guess that’s going to be cut! (PD- how dare you say that~!)
Hahaha, I will show you a better “performance” next time.
CJW: Please enjoy this drama to the end. I will work hard to become a better actress.
