Actress Shin Min Ah has shared a funny behind-the-scenes story from Disney+'s The Remarried Empress, revealing how difficult it was to film romantic scenes involving bird models representing Lee Jong Suk's character.
On November 13, Shin Min Ah appeared on Jo Jung Suk's YouTube channel alongside actress Lee Bong Ryun, where they talked about their filming experiences for the fantasy romance drama.
During the conversation, Shin Min Ah explained that Lee Jong Suk's character, Prince Heinrey, has a special connection to a bird, which plays an important role in his relationship with Empress Navier, played by Shin Min Ah.
Because of this unusual storyline, the actress had to film several emotional and romantic scenes with bird models rather than her human co-star.
“There were many scenes where I had to film with a bird, and they prepared bird models in different sizes,” Shin Min Ah recalled.
She continued, “I had to film emotional scenes with the bird, and there were even scenes where I patted its bottom. It was really difficult while filming.”
Her co-star Lee Bong Ryun added another funny detail about the bird models.
“There was a scene where the bird was supposed to be sleeping comfortably, but even while lying on the bed, its eyes were wide open,” she said, making the others laugh.
Shin Min Ah jokingly summed up her unusual acting experience, saying, “There's even romance with a bird.”
The actress's comments offered a lighthearted look at the challenges of bringing the fantasy romance to life, especially when filming emotional scenes with props instead of another actor.
In The Remarried Empress, Shin Min Ah plays Empress Navier, while Lee Jong Suk portrays Prince Heinrey. The Disney+ series also stars Ju Ji Hoon and Lee Se Young.
