Warm and Cozy - Sora's crying bts

Son Seung Yeon (손승연) – For You (널 위한거야)

날 용서하며 살아가 줘
넌 그럴 거야 마음 아파져도
이젠 의미 없는 시간 속에
널 기억하며 눈물 흘리겠지

아주 오래 전에 잊고 지낸 소중함들을
너를 잃은 후에 느낄 수 있는
아직 바보 같은 날
넌 이해할 수 있다면

널 위한 거야 널 외면할 땐
나의 눈에 흐른 눈물 마를지도 몰라
날 용서해줘 나 떠나가도
멀리서 너를 꼭 지켜봐줄게

널 기억하며 살아갈게
내 이름조차 잊혀질지라도
이젠 어두워진 거울 속에
날 바라보며 눈물 흘리겠지

아주 오래 전에 잊고 지낸 소중함들을
너를 잃은 후에 느낄 수 있는
아직 바보 같은 날
넌 이해할 수 있다면

널 위한 거야 널 외면할 땐
나의 눈에 흐른 눈물 마를지도 몰라
날 용서해줘 나 떠나가도
멀리서 너를 꼭 지켜봐줄게
널 위한 거야 널 외면할 땐
나의 눈에 흐른 눈물 마를지도 몰라
날 용서해줘 나 떠나가도
멀리서 너를 꼭 지켜봐줄게

Kang Sora and Yoo Yeon Seok for Hong sis drama

Yoo Yeon Seok and Kang Sora have been confirmed to lead the new drama, Warm and Cozy (tentative English title).

Yoo Yeon Seok and Kang Sora will act as a couple for the first time in MBC′s Warm and Cozy as Baek Geon Woo, the owner and chef of the restaurant ′Warm and Cozy,′ and clothing company employee of five years, Lee Jung Joo, respectively.

Warm and Cozy was created based on the idea of the love between an angry ant and the love-deprived grasshopper. The drama takes place on the beautiful island of Jeju, where a restaurant called ′Warm and Cozy′ is located. The Korean title, Mendorong Ttottot means ′warm and cozy′ in the Jeju dialect, and just like the meaning, the two main characters will learn to love each together.

Known for his good looks, eloquent speaking style, and gentle manners, Yoo Yeon Seok will be taking the role of Baek Geon Woo. Although he is all about what he likes and what he enjoys, Baek Geon Woo is a character that is still liked despite his brutally honest personality. Despite being an intellgient man who knows exactly what is good about himself, Baek Geon Woo is also a romantist, moving all the way to Jejudo and setting up a restaurant for the sole reason that the girl he likes is there.

Kang Sora will act as the crooked and complaining ′ant,′ Lee Jung Joo, who receives more pain and suffering in comparison to all the effort she′s put into life. Although she acts as if she knows everything in the world to put up a shield, she actually holds a very weak and gentle heart. After living in Seoul and working her butt off for five years, Lee Jung Joo still loses her job and her boyfriend, ending up in Jejudo to start a new life not by choice.

Working back and forth from drama to movies, Yoo Yeon Seok appeared in films, Architecture 101, A Werewolf Boy, as well as dramas, General Hospital, Gu Family Book, and more, getting noticed by the public. He especially appeared in tvN′s Reply 1994 as baseball player Chilbong, receiving explosive popularity and acknowledgement as an actor.

Kang Sora has also appeared in various dramas and movies, always expressing herself 100 percent. In 2014, she shined brightly in the drama Doctor Stranger and Misaeng, receiving much love from the public for her flexible and strong acting performances.

With these actors carrying very unique acting styles, anticipation is on the rise to see how Yoo Yeon Seok and Kang Sora will do when working together.

Warm and Cozy will bring back the ′Hong Sisters,′ writers Hong Jung Eun and Hong Mi Ran with Park Hong Gyun PD, who created The Greatest Love in 2011 with sweet heart flutters, electrifying fun, soaring ratings, and strong production value, creating a widespread trend in Korea. The synergy of the Hong Sister′s strong writing and Park Hong Gyun′s smooth directing is already being anticipated by the public.

The drama′s production company, Bon Factory, stated, "Yoo Yeon Seok and Kang Sora not only have the visuals but also the natural atmosphere that is perfect for the characters Baek Geon Woo and Lee Jung Joo."

"Please look forward to the perfect harmony that will be created with the energetic actors, Yoo Yeon Seok and Kang Sora, the Hong Sisters, and Park Hong Gyu PD."

Warm and Cozy will broadcast in May after Angry Mom.

We will be able to see Yoo Yeon Suk and Kang So Ra as lovers in new Hong Sisters’ drama ‘Warm and Cozy’.

According to the officials from MBC, Yoo Yeon Suk will play as Baek Kun Woo who has an oddly straightforward and honest personality. Eventhough he’s a clever man, he’s also a romantist who goes all the way to Jeju island to set up a restaurant since the girl he likes is there.

Kang So Ra will play as Lee Jung Joo, who always acts like she knows everything but actually has very vulnerable and weak heart. Despite working harshly in Seoul for 5 years, she still loses her job and even her boyfriend and later moves to Jeju island to start a new life.

The drama’s production company, Bon Factory said,”Yoo Yeon Suk and Kang So Ra both have the visuals and the natural vibes that make them perfect as Baek Kun Woo and Lee Jung Joo. Please look forward to the fantastic harmony between Yoo Yeon Suk, Kang So Ra, the Hong Sisters and Park Hong Gyu director”.

‘Warm and Cozy’ will follow ‘Angry Mom’ and broadcast in May.

Actor Yoo Yeon Seok is currently in talks for the Hong Sisters‘ upcoming drama, “Jejudo Gatsby” (working title).
According to broadcast industry insiders, the actor has been offered the leading role and is currently considering it. If he accepts it, it will be his first drama role in two years since the hit “Reply 1994.”
Previously, it was reported that Kim Woo Bin and Kang Sora were in talks for the leading roles in the drama.
Yoo Yeon Seok was offered the role of protagonist Baek Gun Woo, a restaurant owner and a chaebol heir. Although not officially announced, Kang Sora is a strong candidate to be the lead in the drama. If she accepts, she will play his love interest, Lee Jung Joo, a working-class girl struggling to support her family on Jeju Island.
The drama will follow “Angry Mom” and is expected to premiere on MBC in May.

February 2015 – @star1] Kang Sora – Interview

29/01/2015

After the end of “Misaeng”, you were asked in an interview what “Misaeng” meant to you and you cried.

It seems that I started crying suddenly because I felt that I wouldn’t get to shoot this kind of project ever again. Filming was hard, but when it was actually over, I felt so much sadness. I don’t easily cry, but why did I cry then? I think I was being a little bit too much (laugh).

The scene in the 1st episode of “Misaeng” where you wear butt pads was memorable. This scene wasn’t in the webtoon…

The identity of Ahn Young Yi doesn’t really stand out in the webtoon. I think that’s why the script writer wrote this butt pad selling scene to reveal early the strong personality of Ahn Young Yi. To show how her as someone who doesn’t care about which situation she’s in or which outfit she has to wear in order to sell the products.

The Ahn Young Yi in the webtoom has short hair, but the one in the drama has long hair. Why didn’t you cut your hair?

To be honest, the webtoon’s Ahn Young Yi is a character who is really influenced by her father. She should have been a boy, but she was born a girl, so she always wore men clothes and had short hair. However, before we started shooting the drama, the director told me that the relationship between Ahn Young Yi and her father would be settled, so she should have long hair. That’s why there’s purposely a difference with the webtoon. She wore skirts and didn’t cut her hair. When you see her like this, you get the feeling that Ahn Young Yi frees herself from her father at some extent. She couldn’t completely let go of him, though.

The fact you spoke English and Russian fluently became a hot issue. Are you really fluent in 4 languages?

This is something that was falsely reported. I can’t speak fluently any foreign language. I’ve been to awards ceremonies overseas like for the 2014 Mnet Asian Music Awards, and I was sorry that I could only speak Korean in front of my foreign fans. That’s why I just read along what was written in the script. I would just read a Chinese transcription like “ttajahao”.

Choose the most memorable scene for you.

There are many scenes that are engraved in my mind. Let me think about it a little. I think there are three. There’s one emotional scene that was also in the webtoon. The scene where Jang Geurae (Im Siwan) and Team Leader Oh (Lee Sung Min) are on the rooftop and they say “we all have incomplete lives”. I really liked the atmosphere and the setting. And then there’s the scene when Jang Geurae invites Assistant Manager Kim to his house and they talk about the past. I really enjoyed how this was the opportunity for them to grow closer. The last scene would be when Team Leader Oh smiles and drinks in front of his friend. It’s such a realistic and bitter scene.

If you were to hear sexist comments from your boss or you received unfair treatment?

First of all, I’d get a membership at a boxing club (laugh). I think I’d do some muay thai or jiujitsu. And if there were a complaint about me, I think I’d talk directly to the person and settle the matter. I think I’d go and talk to this person first by saying something like “sunbaenim, am I lacking about this? Do you worry simply because I’m a woman?”.

Are you the mood maker when you’re at a bar?

When I’m not with a lot of people, I can be. However, I really can’t drink alcohol, so instead of taking the lead in creating the atmosphere, I’d ask the bar’s owner to make it enjoyable. So I’m a semi-mood maker? (laugh)

Who were you the closest with on the set? In tvN “Taxi”, you seemed awkward with Jun Suk Ho who plays Assistant Manager Ha.

While we were filming, (Im) Siwan is the one I was in contact the most with. Later on, I got closer with (Byun) Yo Han and (Kang) Ha Neul. We actually have a chatroom. In the drama, I don’t have a good relationship with Assistant Manager Ha, so it might be why I couldn’t be close to him. I still don’t know his phone number.

If you were to date someone from One International, who would you want to be with?

It’s something that’s often brought up in interviews. I would date Sales Team 3 Assistant Manager Kim (Kim Dae Myung) and I would marry Steel Assistant Manager Kang (Oh Min Suk). Assistant Manager Kim is passionate when he works, so I think he’d be passionate when he dates. I think Assistant Manager Kang has a dual charm. He’s a distant man when he’s at work, but he’s warm when he’s with his family. Wouldn’t it be fun to marry him?

Are you seeing someone right now?

I am not. I really wanted to have a boyfriend in the past, but I think this desire is disappearing. It might be because I’m busy and exhausted. I want to stay at home and relax. Going out is annoying. I haven’t been in a relationship for more than 2 years.

Tell us about your ideal type.

A man who is like a friend. I like a man whom I can share my hobbies with and who is interesting even if he doesn’t speak much. It already happened many times that I almost found myself in a reversal situation because we were close like friends. That’s why I can’t go on blind dates.

I read in an interview you did in the past that you have the “1 chicken per person” motto and I thought it sounded familiar. However, we don’t really know about the way you stay fit. Tell us your secret to stay fit.

I still go by the “1 chicken per person” motto. I reduced the size of the chicken, though. The barbecue chicken is small. That’s how I can eat one all by myself. If you dip it in salt, it tastes so good. And my secret to stay fit… To be honest, everyone knows this method. I eat less and I exercise a lot.

Can you reveal your current weight?

Right now, it’s 48~49kg. If I eat a lot, it can go up to 50kg?

Isn’t restraining yourself hard? What do you think about to endure it?

I’ve been maintaining this figure for two years, so it’s no longer as hard as it used to be. The most important thing is not to neglect your body. When you gain 1kg, it’s easy to lose. However, if you gain 4kg, it’s harder to lose. That’s why you must lose when you put on a little bit of weight.

You said you couldn’t eat like you wanted to while you were filming, what is the thing you wanted to eat the most?

Everything. I really wanted to go to a buffet. That’s why I went to a buffet once the drama was over and I ate a lot.

Do you have your own “buffet eating” rule?

First of all, a buffet display various kinds of food. What’s important is to eat as much as you can. You can never eat just one dish and get up. If you get up, your stomach feels full. You must put various dishes on your plate and eat.

I thought you had a little brother or an older brother. I was surprised to find out you were an only child.

I was raised like any child. I went out to read manhwas or watch movies on my own. I didn’t feel lonely per se, but I kept asking my parents to buy me a little sister/brother until Christmas in middle school. Once I started high school, I stopped asking for it and I was fine with the situation. Now, when I look at my friends getting married, they have their older sisters or brothers with them and I’m jealous. It’s so nice to see my friends who can complain to and rely on their older brother or sister.

In the movie “Sunny” or in SBS sitcom “Ugly Alert”, you play a character who protects others. I think playing such charismatic women really suits you.

I like taking care of people in real life too. A lot of my friends are short, so I actually enjoy this “perfect fit” feeling I get when we hold each other’s shoulders. I think people often say that about me because my usual image comes out naturally in my acting.

In the sixth episode of SBS “Doctor Stranger”, the scene where you touch Lee Jong Suk’s hair in a protective way left a big impression.

The script didn’t say “she lifts his head”, but as I wondered if he was hurting, my hand naturally went to his hair. I have big hands and Lee Jong Suk has a small head, so it fit right in.

It might be because of this image, but I feel like you have more female fans.

98% of my fans are women. I did a fanmeeting 2 years ago and 190 people out of the 200 there were women. It’s to the point that the men you find are either husbands who follow their wives or fathers who come with their daugthers?

I’m curious to hear about your personality.

First of all, I’m quick and I hate things that drag on for no reason or are delayed. I’m the type to waste no time even when I make an appointment with my friends. I’m like what you see right now.

You’re still in contact with the fellow actresses you worked with in “Sunny”. The comment written on the SNS of Chun Woo Hee who won the best actress award at the Blue Dragon film Awards was heartwarming.

We definitely must see each other, but the timing is never right. Our schedules never match! We definitely must see each other soon. And I keep in touch with (Shim) Eun Kyung and also other friends.

When you were in middle school, you published a martial arts novel. When you were in high school, you also wrote for your theater class. Now, you’re an actress, but do you still write?

I don’t have the courage to write right now. As someone who reads scenarios, I’ll never write them. And there’s also the pressure to complete the work, so even if someone would tell me to write, I would never be able to do it right now.

You revealed that you were a “webtoon” mania. Do you still read a lot these days?

Of course. I already knew about “Misaeng”, so when I was offered a role, I totally snatched it. I’m currently reading “Heart’s sound” by Jo Suk. I also enjoyed reading “Will You Marry Me?” by MindC and “Lessa” by POGO. I also have the book of “With God” by Joo Ho Min.

“4th Period Mystery” was your first movie.

I took the audition and I went to the set the very next day. I think I shot this movie with a positive mindset without knowing any struggle and without feeling any pressure. I learned a lot from (Yoo) Seung Ho.

What did you learn from him?

(Yoo) Seung Ho had such an amazing behavior on the set. He was really mature for his age and he showed great manners. It wasn’t just about his attitude toward acting, he was also great when the camera was off. I learned many things.

After “We Got Married”, you didn’t shoot any other variety program. Is there a variety program you’d like to join?

I’m still not confident about doing variety programs. I’m not a funny person. I might enjoy enjoy watching variety programs, but filming scares me. I watch a lot of the recent variety programs or MBC “Infinity Challenge”. Food variety program would be hard to watch, so I don’t really watch them.

I saw you in tvN “Taxi” and your variety program sense was unique. Do you also check out internet communities?

I read a lot of articles comments, but I don’t check one specific online community. I’ve visited a fancafé once after looking up my name.

What’s your usual fashion style? Do you enjoy the office look?

I like the comfortable and natural fashion style. I don’t wear clothes I don’t feel comfortable in. I like wearing slacks or jackets.

You must choose your next project, which kind of project do you want to shoot?

This time, I want to play a bright character.

Do you have a role model?

I have so many role models. I watch something and I think this person is awesome, how can this one act like this or like that. I think there are so many great actors.

Do you have a word to the women who are currently going through a diet?

I hope you don’t do a flash diet. I recommend to eat well and exercise on a regular basis. In my case, I must go on a diet to look good on screen, though. Korean women are really thin. I hope you won’t do diets that will make you unhealthy. And check your weight only once a week because our weight changes a couple of times even within the same day.
