Production

[edit]

The film was a difficult job for 15-year old Lee Jung-hyun, who wasn't familiar with acting at the time. Director Sun-Woo Jang was furious on the first day of shooting. "At first I wasn't good at acting, so the director threw away the script and stopped shooting. I took it myself and I cried for a long time in the dormitory. Then I woke up. 'Then I have to live like a crazy child,' I thought. Because if I can't act, I simply have no choice but to become that kind of person." So she began wandering around the neighborhood for three or four hours before the shoots. People in the neighborhood thought she was a really crazy child and took her home to wash and feed her. "There was no line between everyday life and acting. It was an ignorant approach. (laughs). The director and Sol Kyung-gu looked at me that way and said, 'Tomorrow is the last shoot, but what if she goes crazy even after she's done?'"[5]
