Actor and director Kim Hee-won (53) expressed his feelings about trying to direct.

Director Kim Hee-won interviewed Disney+ original series 'Light Shop' (played by Kang Pul, directed by Kim Hee-won) at a cafe in Jongno-gu, Seoul on the morning of the 20th.

Director Kim Hee-won expressed his feelings about meeting with reporters as a director and said, "(It is different from when I was an actor). I think I should be careful what I say. When I was an actor, I said 'I don't know ', but I really just said it. He said, "If it's bad, it's bad, and if it's good, it's good, but now I feel pressured to say it's good."




Director Kim Hee-won recalled the time of filming "I noticed every day. I really looked at the actors a lot, I looked at the staff a lot, and I looked at the actors for six months. I've noticed a lot of people. Personally, the fact that directors are wary of others means that directors should do this, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, what should we do now? The moment you do it, you're not just waiting for yourself. What should I do to get that person to do something on his own. Because my ideas have limitations. I wanted you to continue to do well, and I noticed the situation,' he said, drawing laughter.

In "Moving", they met as actors and writers, but this time, they are Kang Pul and Kim Hee Won, who became directors and writers. Director Kim Hee-won said, `When I met as an actor and played the role of Choi Il-hwan, what is this. I don't like it. I say, 'There needs to be justification to act, but I think it's weird'.And then I changed it, and we talked about that a lot. But when we have a conversation with the director, what should we do to make it better. But there's something you really want to do as a writer. But there are times when it's different from what I think. How do you make it pass well. And since I'm an actor, it's hard to act like this? How to change it like this and how to change it to fit the intention of the production. I think we've had a lot of those conversations."

Director Kim Hee-won thought a lot about the process of accepting the offer as a director. When I first received the script, it was so difficult that many other directors couldn't choose. There were cases like that, and people who watched the script after I read it also said that it was confusing, but so did I. The work now is much easier than the script. I was wondering what to do with this difficult thing. If the boundary between life and death is a subject, people may come up with 'This must be difficult' and not see it, and what if I fail for the first time as a work. People don't watch it. After thinking about that a lot, I also think that I need to talk about this these days. Most of them move on too quickly. I don't think there's been this talk these days. No matter how many movies you watch. It would be fun to do things that others didn't do. So I said, "Yeah, let's give it a try."




Director Kim Hee-won said, `I think I've been thinking about it for about a month. I thought about it even after I said I'd do it. Should I quit now. So I think it's two to three months if you count that. At that time, I was also preparing a short film, but I was all ready to film it. I suddenly came in and thought about it more. I thought I should start with a short movie and do this, but I suddenly got a big one. Can I do this? I'm worried about this, and short films can be filmed by myself on my cell phone, but I can't hide it if I don't watch it a lot. I thought about my life. "Isn't this going to change your life?" I did. It's not a good change, but if it's ruined, it's a big deal. I thought about this as well."

Director Kim Hee-won joined after receiving a proposal from Kang Pul. He said "When Kang Pul suggested it, 'What did you see and ask me to do this?'", Kang Pul said. He said he liked my acting the best while watching the moving. 'It's just a normal teacher. What do you like about it~' So you're going to do that 'movement'?? I think it was. Everyone has superpowers, but I'm the only one who doesn't have them. I'm not the only one who fights superpowers, and if you throw me in 'Moving', I'll fly far away and hit the wall, but I won't die. In any case, you have to love your students a lot to fight superpowers. I changed my script a bit because I said I should put a god who loves students because I have to fight for my life, but I can't fight it ridiculously. I heard that Kang Pul's thoughts were persuaded by me. When you're doing 'movement'. So I think it was a little impressive for her to persuade her to write the script and do 'Moving'. He said that. He said that the acting was good on the outside, but that's what he said.

The only place that lights up the end of a dark alley is the lighting shop, which tells the story of customers with suspicious secrets coming to the lighting shop, and it attracted attention as Kim Hee-won's directorial debut in the original work by Kang Pul.
