He removed his clothes while drenched in water, which was challenging because of the cold weather.

If I were Junho, I would have laughed and been embarrassed. It was cold too, and he had to take his clothes off when his body was slightly wet.

The atmosphere of the set was rather serious because the staff wanted to give them more privacy. Lee Se Young noticed what they were doing and instinctively knew that it was going to be a difficult scene to film.

She didn’t want to look directly at Junho but realized that staring blankly at space was “weird.”

There was a ‘Let’s move out for them atmosphere,’ so I was just like, ‘This is going to be tough…‘ If I just stared at him like usual, I felt that would have been too disrespectful, so I just stared blankly. Even that looked weird as I was trying to avert my eyes. I really thought Junho was so professional.

When she rewatched the scene, she felt embarrassed because it focused on her expression as she fell to the water, not on Junho’s arm as he pulled her. For Lee Se Young, that was the part she was most shy about.

[In the scene], I try to lift the water bucket, get surprised, and lose my balance after seeing him. He tries to lift it for me and pulls on it, then we fall into the water together. But it didn’t show the scene where he strongly pulls, so I was like, ‘Oh my!‘ So it was embarrassing when I watched the show.
