Actress Jeon Do Yeon has opened up about the challenges of filming an important scene with Jo In Sung in Netflix's Possible Love, revealing that the emotional demands were more difficult than the physical filming itself.

During an interview in Seoul on November 9, Jeon Do Yeon discussed her experience working with Jo In Sung in director Lee Chang Dong's latest film, which marks their first project together in approximately 23 years.

The two previously starred in the SBS drama Shooting for the Stars, which aired from 2002 to 2003.

Speaking about their reunion, Jeon Do Yeon admitted that she was curious about how Jo In Sung had changed over the years.

She shared, "I don't often get to meet Jo In Sung privately, so I was curious about what he would be like after such a long time."

However, what impressed her most was his thoughtful approach to acting.

"He was very different from what I had imagined. Seeing him struggle with the same concerns about acting that I have made me feel a sense of connection with him," she explained.

Jeon Do Yeon also revealed that she personally praised Jo In Sung for his growth as an actor.

"I told him, 'Thank you for growing up so well.' I was happy to see him thinking deeply about the things an actor should consider," she said.

The actress then discussed one of the film's most emotionally demanding moments, a beach scene involving her character Mi Ok and Jo In Sung's character Sang Woo.

Although the scene appears toward the end of the film, Jeon Do Yeon explained that it had to be filmed early in production because of weather and seasonal conditions.

This created an unexpected challenge, as she had not yet experienced the emotional development of her character through the earlier parts of the story.

"It was already an emotionally difficult scene, but because of the circumstances, we had no choice but to film it early. I was worried because I hadn't built up the emotions in the order of the script," she recalled.

The filming was also technically challenging because the scene required a continuous take.

According to Jeon Do Yeon, they filmed the scene twice, and director Lee Chang Dong ultimately selected the first take.

"We filmed it twice, and the director chose the first one. He said he thought it was good enough," she shared.

When asked whether entering the sea was physically difficult, Jeon Do Yeon explained that the warm weather made that part relatively manageable.

Instead, she was more concerned about maintaining the right emotions throughout the scene.

"The weather was hot, so going into the water wasn't difficult. I was more worried about losing the emotions because I wasn't completely sure what Mi Ok was feeling at that point," she admitted.

She also explained that her understanding of the character's emotions changed after completing the film.

During filming, she approached the scene with relatively straightforward feelings of revenge and defiance. However, after seeing the completed work, she began to understand Mi Ok's actions as an expression of a deeper desire for freedom.

Jeon Do Yeon said, "Later, after finishing the film, I thought Mi Ok had a desire for freedom and was expressing that freedom while resisting them with her whole body."

Her reflections highlight the emotional preparation required for the scene and how her understanding of the character continued to develop throughout production.

Meanwhile, Possible Love marks Jeon Do Yeon's reunion with director Lee Chang Dong following their 2007 film Secret Sunshine.

The film follows two married couples whose lives become connected through a documentary project, exploring their different experiences, relationships, and hidden desires.

Possible Love was released on Netflix on November 6.
