    I took a peek at YSJ thread, and wow, it's amazing with how complete his information.

    I started his thread at you-know-where so his info is more comprehensive 😄 

     

    Oh now I'm reminded of a query I have, @bluepebbles, to register for the new actor thread, do we provide you the link in the directory thread or we tagged one of you in the actor's thread?

    I am actually really surprised that the cat is out of the bag so quickly. Now things are going to be difficult for Ji Won, having to pretend in front of Hyun Soo. Both will be putting on an act in front of one another. 

     

    I do like that Hyun Soo tries to understand what it feels like for Ji Won to watch him unconscious at the brink of death for 10 whole days. He is learning. I'm still really curious as to what condition he had. Previously I suggested he may have Alexithymia however it seems unlikely because we see that he is genuinely smiling naturally sometimes, especially towards the daughter. 

     

    Anyway, looking forward to the new episodes!

    Basically the Prosecution in SK is very powerful and they can override Police authority . So that's why there's a constant power struggle between the two enforcement agencies. The police want to have back some autonomy as their investigations are often wasted effort as the Prosecution will overrule their decisions. Both agencies constantly accuse each other of corruption to undermine each other's  influence and authority. So this joint committee they are setting up is supposedly to repair the damaged relationship and come to a truce ...which of course isn't gonna happen easily since both Choi Bit and Chief Woo have been thinking rather strategically about who they are gonna have in the committee.

     

    I find Choi Bit's character rather fascinating. I don't know if she has skeletons in her cupboard, though smarmy salesman Dong Jae seems to have dirt in that department. But I do think she's very shrewd and knows how to play dirty too. Going to see the dead boy's father and holding a press con after that was rather sneaky but smart.  On the surface it would seem that Chief Woo would be her nemesis , but I have a suspicion they will have each other's back later on.

     

    I read on Weibo a post mentioning that President Moon has changed this. The bill was passed so now the Prosecution and Police force are to work together as equal, unlike how it used to be. The post thus said, SF2 must be basing its story around this. When I read it the poster wrote it in the way that SF2's story must be set in when the change took effect. Based on episode 2, it appears this is based on before the bill was passed by the politicians (I don't remember what's the name of the parties etc lol). They went through a few rounds (in real life) so not even sure which round is SF2 based on. From what I can gather, Prosecution is definitely doing whatever they can to stop this from happening and Shi Mok and Yeo Jin are stuck in a hard rock and place. Nooooooo. I want to see them eat together again like in SF1!

     

    I am curious where Shi Mok's stand in this one. I know Yeo Jin would obviously want to fight for "equality".

     

    Both Choi Bit and Chief Woo are fishy to me. SF1 taught us that 😛 and by the way, the Chinese community has a nickname for Seo Dong Jae. They called him "glare-glare" （瞪瞪）coz of his eyes 🤣

    @abs-oluteM 

    My verdict on the show :

    • The cases on the dark foggy sea was quite fascinating. So there is actually no active murderer, but just a gross negligance that causing life lost. The dark setting and the background music all felt very cohesive, I felt it was like crime novel brought into a life. 

     

    • The theme of police & prosecutor fighting for independence right to investigate is not so new. Many dramas have brought this before. But I do have hope there might be a plot twist into it later. Choi Bit does sound suspicious, but suspect it might not all that. She's also kind of supportive to Yeo Jin in a way. And Tae Ha also might have his own agenda as well. As S1 idea was : there is no one real bad or real good, and even the main villain was actually have a decent ideas for justice. 

     

    • On the lighter note, so Yeo Jin and Shi Mok have not met for 2 years I guess? Btw, he's not keeping the smiley pictures in his desk anymore? Ha! I hope he does. And since he's not going to stay in his old apartment, I guess she can't just visit him freely like last time lols. Hmm yeah you all get me. Shipper start talking here haha.... 

     

    The foggy scene - the whole time I thought someone was going to appear in front of Shi Mok's car or Shi Mok is going to hit someone. I was bracing for a scary moment 😄 

     

    Really? They didn't meet up at all for 2 years? What is wrong with them, LOL. That's not very nice to the shippers 🤭😝 I really do hope the Show is just trolling us and them being on opposite side will not last too long in the whole season.

    [News] 2017.12.10 Yang Se Jong, Woo Do Hwan and Jang Ki Yong shares their thoughts about each other

    by S. Park

    Yang-Se-Jong-Woo-Do-Hwan-Jang-Ki-Yong.jp

     

    Yang Se Jong, Woo Do Hwan, and Jang Ki Yong are being referred to as the 92-line of super rookie actors who graced TV screens this year. A Korean media outlet asked each of these three actors their thoughts about each other.

     

    Yang Se Jong first met viewers through SBS’s “Romantic Doctor Kim” in 2016, appeared in the sageuk (Korean historical) drama “Saimdang, Light’s Diary,” and played dual roles on OCN’s “Duel,” before stealing hearts on SBS’s “Degree of Love.”

     

    On his fellow 92-line actors, Yang Se Jong said, “When I first started acting, I acted because I was stimulated by something. It was my school [Korean National University of Arts] that made me realize that. Everyone has a different way of practicing, but I thought that it would hurt me if I acted in order to compete with someone else.”

    He continued, “I don’t think people should act while thinking of trying to win over someone else. I only focus on the script and how to best convey it. I think that is the most important. I think people around us are creating this rivalry.”

     

    Woo Do Hwan debuted his acting skills through small roles on MBN’s sitcom “You’re Here, You’re Here, You’re Really Here” in 2011, then tvN’s “Shut Up! Flower Boy Band,” and KBS2’s “The Man Living In Our House.” Then, he gained more attention through the film “Master,” OCN’s “Save Me,” and most recently KBS2’s “Mad Dog.”

     

    Spoiler

    Woo Do Hwan spoke fondly of his fellow 92-line actors and commented, “I saw Yang Se Jong’s good acting on ‘Duel’ and thought it was cool when I later learned that we were the same age. I think he’s an actor with good appeals. I have not yet met him, but if I have the chance, I want to meet him and I think we can become friends. I read his interview articles and he is a cool person with a good mind. I have a lot to learn from him.”

     

    He also talked spoke about Jang Ki Yong and added, “They play re-runs of ‘Go Back Couple’ right after ‘Mad Dog’ so I watched [Jang Ki Yong] in the drama. He is really tall and really cool. I think there are many great, charming people my age which is a good stimulus. I think we can have fun if we were to meet each other on set.”

     

    Jang Ki Yong also played minor roles on multiple dramas. In 2014, he appeared on SBS’s “The Greatest Marriage,” web drama “We Broke Up” in 2015, KBS2’s “Beautiful Mind” in 2016, tvN’s “The Liar and His Lover” in 2017, and most recently KBS2’s “Go Back Couple” as Jang Na Ra’s college senior named Jung Nam Gil.

     

    Spoiler

    As a former model and actor of YG KPLUS, he wowed viewers in his ROTC uniform and acting on the drama. He revealed, “Before I started my latest project [‘Go Back Couple’] I grabbed a beer with a close friend and talked about how it would be nice to be mentioned with actors such as Yang Se Jong and Woo Do Hwan. So it’s really cool that it’s actually happening.”

     

    He continued, “I thought it would be encouraging and thankful just to be mentioned alongside them, so I am really grateful to be mentioned with them. It makes me think that I should work harder now that I have been named with these actors. I am ready to show you more prepared acting in the future.”

    source: Msooni

     

    One to two interesting parts, although part of it we should already know if you've read all pages from this thread.

     

    1) When he was in high school, his personality at the time was where he is sensitive when people see his shyness. Although not sure how this relates to him watching Snow Drops and wanting to become an actor. He said he was crying watching it; he looked around and saw others crying too. That's when he thought, "Ah... the actors made these people cry." and it made him want to act.

     

    2) He talked about the difficulty changing between Sung Joon and Sung Hoon when filming Duel. He needed to change between them in a short time, and that at first was hard. Soon he found a way, like a spell or hypnotic method, where he'd keep chanting "It's not me...it's not me, ahjussi" to become Sung Joon and "I'll kill you... I'll kill you" to become Sung Hoon.

    It is up to you what you want to put. The basic is profile, filmography, discography. YSJ was a newbie so it was easier to collate data then and now he's on army duty - no new updates. HURRAY for me. LOL.

    [Video] 2017.12.05 SPOTV STAR: What is Yang Se Jong's 24 hours rest day like?

     

    Boy desperately needs a haircut! EDIT: OK, I can only provide a summary instead of a word-for-word translation because I had no idea this boy, after removing his shyness, can TALK SO MUCH!!! 

     

    First he said he wakes up at 10 am. Before going to the bathroom, he'd switch on his bluetooth audio and connect with his phone to listen to music. He's a little too detail sweata_thumb.gif in some of these parts! He has been listening to Jazz music by Gregory Porter recently. After using the bathroom, he changed into sportswear and put his earphones on and walk to the gym. It's funny here since he repeatedly said, "geodgo geodgo geodgo...meaning walk walk walk to the gym". After exercising for 1-2 hours, he walked home and take a nap for 1-1.5 hours. Then about 3 or 4 pm, he would go out to have a coffee with friends or teachers he really want to meet.

     

    Spoiler

     

    Q: Do you not eat at home?

    He said he mostly eats out and barely would eat at home. If he does, it's usually instant noodles or triangular gimbap with a bottle of soju.

     

    Q: What are the two most confident dishes he can cook?

    He said two — medium rare steak and tteobokki.

     

    Q: Do you have any recipe you can share?

    He said if he must explain then he should have said he originally is good with tuna kimchi jigae. He is confident about this dish because it can be delicious without additional seasoning. This dish will take about 26 - 30 mins and then we hear a very detailed step by step recipe from Se Jong. I wish this lady hadn't asked... they must have regretted it themselves since they had to fast-forward it, LOL.

     

    Back to a day with Se Jong...

     

    He tells us he'd head out to a good restaurant and eat delicious food. After dinner, it'll be about 7 pm. After meeting the people he has met, he would head to the cinema and watch a movie that he most want to watch at that time (by impulse). After the movie, it'll be about 10-11pm.

     

    Q: Are there any movies he can recommend?

    The movies he recently watched, there are Baby Driver, The Dallas Buyers Club, American Sniper, Silver Lining Playbook and many other different ones. Also recently he had this thought, he would like to re-watch Titanic.

     

    Q: What is the reason you want to watch Titanic?

    "I have no idea. The thought kept popping into my mind." He said unconditionally just want to watch it again.

     

    The boy then kept on rambling about a specialized wine shop. He'd go there and if there are new wines, he'd either buy it or test taste some before going home. It'll be about 12 am by the that time. When he reached home, pour some wine into the wine glass and drink it as he watches a movie he felt like watching. After 1.5 - 2 hrs, if he's sleepy he will go to bed immediately. If he is not, he would change into sportswear and head out with his earphones and stroll aimlessly. Once he returned home, he'll go to bed.

     

    Q: Is there any ritual he must do before going to sleep?

    He'd light a candle because he's sensitive to smell. If the candle is finished then he'd spray perfume. Perfume that is not for playing his character, but perfumes that he, as Yang Se Jong, likes.

     

    Q: What is your sleeping habit?

    He said he has no idea, but when he goes to the beauty salon to apply makeup, he'd doze off. (here, he laughs out loud explaining it originally doesn't happen to him).

    006ryUxzgy1fm6dxyhb95g30k00k01l0.gif

     

    He was nodding his head and speaking in his sleep during those times.

     

    For viewers who have insomnia or have trouble sleeping, Yang Se Jong recommends drinking a glass of wine and light a fragranced candle, or spray perfume before bed. Although he is unsure if it'll work, but this is his way around it.

     

    For viewers who are stressed, he recommends going for a stroll at dawn listening to the music we like.

     

    As we are closing in on the end of year, Yang Se Jong wishes everyone to spend their time with their loved ones and ensure to stay healthy and happy.

    English Translation of article:

     

    Q: It has been 2 years since your debut. What is the biggest change from being a normal student to becoming an actor?

    A: I’ve learnt how to allocate my time. During drama shooting, there is no luxury for personal time. If there is a day where I could have 2 hours of personal time, it would have been precious, and I’d feel especially grateful, so I shouldn’t use it lightly.

     

    Q: You’ve taken temporary absence from school, with only 2 semesters left. Please tell us your experience before your debut from Saimdang, Light’s Diary (this is his first drama).

    A: I’ve only made 2 short films with theatre students at school.

     

    Q: What are you most absorbed in at school?

    A: There was a class called “Scene Presentation” and I was completely into it. My partner and I chose to showcase a 15 minutes scene from a play. For those 15 minutes, we’ve pulled all nighters almost every night practicing till the morning and went to class after. It’s interesting.

     

    Q: Why is it interesting?

    A: I felt freedom. Because I was allowed to express it any way I want. I was thrilled many share similar thoughts with me. We practice all night; set up a tent on the rooftop, drink rice wine, play guitar and then return to class. Everyone is filled with enthusiasm and immersed in happiness, much like falling in love.

    [Magazine] September 2017 Marie Claire: Temperature of Yang Se Jong

     

    cmLWicl.jpg

    Translated by mademoisellesia

    Do NOT repost elsewhere

    Yang Se Jong has nice eyes. He’s a good-looking young man when you see him from afar, and after chit-chatting beside him, immediately (I) can tell there’s something inside that enlarged pupils of his. My body shifted closer towards where he sat unknowingly. He is someone who is good at talking. Someone good at talking means his inner is rich with emotions. He seems to force himself hard searching that every moment and did his best to think of the answers to the questions; they are of a different dimension to other rookie actors’ kind but polite answers.

     

    Spoiler

    He has proven that neither luck nor coincident in his success in portraying the roles of good and evil in his recently completed drama, “Duel”. Immediately after “Duel” ended, Yang Se Jong shockingly leaped into playing the leading role, On Jung Sun in SBS Mon-Tue drama “Temperature of Love”. In order to become On Jung Sun, a character that is entirely different to his previous role, Yang Se Jong changed the way he walks, the music he listens to as well as the way he treats people. “Although you are only on stage once in a play, but live as that character months before going on stage. How do you become that person within a few weeks?” – Yang Se Jong said he was lucky that he met a lot of good teachers, I believe I know what those people saw in him.

     

    You’ve perfectly played two roles in Duel. It must be straining to change between Sung Joon and Sung Hoon.

    It was hard in the beginning, because there’s no way to know when to film which character; therefore, the switch has to be quick, so the director gave me a lot of time at first. Because of this, I found my very own incantation that helps me quickly switch between the two. It wasn’t deliberate.

     

    What is the incantation?

    Kind Sung Joon has a lot of injustice emotion, so I will repeatedly chant “I really don’t know, Ahjussi! I really don’t know. Why are you doing this to me, Ahjussi!” For Sung Hoon, it’s “I must kill you, I want to kill you”. I’ll chant these incantations before filming, and when the director shouts “action”, I will give him a sign to start shooting. It wasn’t something we agreed to do, but maybe because there were a lot of emotional scenes and we just came to understand each other’s ways.

     

    After confirming playing the roles, you told the director it was too burdensome you can’t do it. What if you didn’t do it at the time?

    My body learnt a lot after filming “Duel”. I am especially thankful towards Jung Jae Young sunbae-nim. If it weren’t because of this rare experience, I wouldn’t have met him. I'll also still be going around in circles in hesitation. The things I’ve learnt from “Duel” has led me to believe I could do well in my future projects.

     

    oVps0jy.jpg

     

    What did you do after “Duel”?

    I felt something was missing. There were no regrets, but I felt empty when all of the sudden I no longer have to chant the incantation I used to do every day, and not seeing the people who are like my family and spent time with for the past 3-4 months. Sung Joon’s and Sung Hoon’s breathing used to be part of my daily life, if I want to detached from it, I must first work hard and focus on casting it away. Even though it is a pity, but only then I can focus properly for the next project. The shooting is about to start soon, I am re-reading the scripts in order to prepare and become Temperature of Love’s On Jung Sun. At this point, I am focusing on how to properly embody On Jung Sun.

     

    You majored in acting in Korea University of Arts. How were you like at school?

    I was very straight-forward at the time. I was even more honest and impulsive then. It’s really clear when I dislike a person, and if I like a person I’ll show I really like them. I think honesty and sincerity is the answer. Even when there’s no money for bus, we would meet and set up a tent on the rooftop, drink makgeoli and play guitar all night and go to class in such condition, and then concentrate and live earnestly. It was a blissful time where we stayed up late to prepare for the 15 minutes presentation we have to do every day.

     

    How did you begin acting?

    I wasn’t interested at all. During the second year of middle school, I always go to the bookstore after school. The shop owner told me to work there if I was going to stay there till the night, so I worked part-time until first year of high school. I watched all the movies, read all the comic books and novels while I was there. Even after quitting, I still have the habit of watching movies every day. I’ve approximately 500 movies saved in my computer. If there are no movies I want to watch, I’ll re-watch a movie among the 500. It always felt different when I re-watch. I did Taekwondo for a long time, but my hobby was watching movie every night. Then one day we went to watch a play. The reason I was with Taekwondo demonstration team was because the cheers from people were stimulating. When I saw the play, seeing how the actors use their whole body to express the lines with their voice, movement and eyes etc., “Se Jong-ah, this is it!” I went home that day and announced I quit Taekwondo, and prepared for the entrance exam for Korea National University.  

     

    What were the movies you saw then?

    Dallas Buyer Club, Whiplash and Silver Lining Playbook. I will re-watch these 3 repeatedly.

     

    What are the standards for choosing a movie?

    The actors I like. I've seen all of Bradley Cooper's. I also like Matthew McCounaghey's. I've seen almost all his movies.

     

    I heard that like movies, you also like wine.

    I didn't drink wine lately. I can't do other things while I'm always thinking about the drama's character. I can't enjoy when I feel like I haven't completed my homework. After the completion of the drama and resting, I'll seek for good wine.

     

    How did you become interested in wine?

    Originally I was team soju, but I've opened my eyes because of daepyo-nim. I’ve even attended wine tasting event and started to search for red wine on my own. The decisive factor I fell for wine was when I was on a trip to Busan with my friends. I wanted to drink wine but it was too late and everything was close. I found a wine store in Centum City on the internet; in there I kept asking "What is this? What is that?" and perhaps the store manager was fond of me that he sold to me an expensive wine at a cheaper price from his personal collection. I went to the beach and drank the wine while watching the sea. An image appears for the first time as I drank it—the glistening river water, grassy green tree leaves and viridescent vegetation. "Wow! This is it! Alegoria Malbec is the best wine of my life". Since then I haven't found a wine that would project images in my mind, but I have found other tasty wines. It feels great seeking for wine when there's no shooting. With earphones on, I'd go around asking how's the wine at the department store or wine cellar.

    What is your daily life like excluding movie and wine?

    Walking. I now live in Hakdong. From Hakdong station, go straight towards Dosan Park’s intersection, and then return from the small alley after Cheongdam. It takes about 2 hours. I usually walk like this when I need to organize my thoughts. I’ll walk as well when I need to think about my character. At what speed the character will walk at? What kind of music will he listen to? It’s the homework I always do before starting the next project.

     

    What does Temperature of Love’s On Jung Sun like?

    Jung Sun changes depending on his relationship with the people. He’s very different when he faces his parents and Hyun Soo. When he is thinking about his parents, the music is a little down. When I meet Hyun Soo, I’d repeatedly listen to inciting music. During “Duel”, it’s like I’m completely at the very bottom of darkness so I’d only listen to dark music.

    For example?
    I would listen back to forth repeatedly these two songs: Maria Mena’s “Leaving You” and Standing Egg’s “Miss You”.

     

    What kind of person is Jung Sun?
    It’s difficult to express him with words. Some people are really good at explaining the character; I think to certain people there are no right answers, so I can’t explain. We have different faces, don’t we? Neither reporter-nim nor I are perfect, it’s just certain parts of us are much stronger. Therefore I am always searching for a suitable personality for Jung Sun. To be honest, normally I am a little introverted, dark and depressing, but in order to get rid of these, I kept listening to positive music, eat good food and use refreshing perfume. I originally like black coloured clothes, but I’d wear bright clothes even though it doesn’t suit me, and tried to loosen up, be cheery and optimistic when I interact with people.

    For a person with a dark tendency, would it consume a lot of energy trying to brighten up?

    Hence more exercise is needed. Although he is the leader of the running club, but he is more active than before and is more muscular, so I am changing my daily life. If I am On Jung Sun? If I am Jung Sun, what type of clothes would I wear, what sort of perfume would I use, and how would I view others? If I am On Jung Sun, how would I walk, what’s my posture like? I think when they naturally integrated into my body; I’ll become On Jung Sun. And if I know the relationship between Jung Sun and the other people around him, then it’s all good if the they match naturally.

     

    From a certain perspective, it looks like you need a lot of time for preparation and you can’t separate work from daily life completely.

    I can’t at all so it’s very tiring. I would sometimes think “Where is Yang Se Jong?” There are less and less time to be Yang Se Jong. There are seniors who can explicitly separate their daily from acting.

     

    Can Se Jong do that?

    I don’t think so. I can’t. *laugh* because I’m already living like that. So I discussed with the agency and took a few months off to rest after finishing up the drama. I think that’s the most suitable way for me.

     

    The rapport with Seo Hyun Jin—what do you expect to feel?

    Very excited. We’ve three script reading and each time, I was very excited and my body was shaking. This is the power of sunbae. It’s the power of within her. I will always remember this feeling, and it’s all good as long as I let that power guide me.

    [Interview] 2017.08.23 OCN's 오덕터뷰terview

    The first interview after Duel ended. Seeing how he looks, this must be done while he was still filming the finale episode. :)

     

    Voice: Nice to meet you.

    YSJ: Yes. I'm happy to meet you. *Bows*

    Spoiler

    YSJ: Lively? Hello everyone~ I am Yang Se Jong.

    Screen caption: Good job. Good job.

    Q: Is there any special way of getting into Duel’s characters?

    YSJ: 1. Incantation  2. Mirror  3. Hypnosis. I did a lot of something like that.

    Voice: Incantation?

    YSJ: Sung Joon’s incantation is something like, “Why...why…why are you doing this to me? I really don’t know. Why are you doing this to me?” I will keep repeating something like that. For Sung Hoon, it’ll be, “I will kill you. Do you think I will not kill you?”

    Screen Caption: Se Jong feels embarassed

     

    Q: What do you want to do most after filming is complete?

    YSJ: *Pondering hard*

    1. Sleep for 5-6 hours
    2. Shower
    3. Spray the perfume (I) like
    4. Exercise at the gym
    5. Dress up
    6. Take a rest at home
    7. Take a walk
    8. Meet up friends and at night, have coffee.
    9. Headphones on, cycle outdoor (stop and go) and sort out my thoughts.

    This is what I really want to do.

    Screen Caption: Actor-nim have a lot he wants to do. Do it all, do it all, Uri Se Jong go and do all of them~

    Q: What is your ideal type?

    YSJ: Ideal type? When the heart felt something like 'ta!'. Feeling attracted during a conversation and feeling the sense of consonation with her. It's like a feeling...feeling the feels of liking a person.

    Q: Rumor has that you have become well-known as a beautiful man. Time to examine.

    Voice: Can you show us?

    Caption: The selfie pose

    YSJ: Huh?

    We see only Se Jong's uncomfortably scrap his fingers...

    Q: What sort of genre for movies or dramas would you like to shoot?

    YSJ: I think, all, if I could I would not distinguish between them and would like to challenge all.

    Q: Do you have the determination to be an actor?

    YSJ: In the beginning, when I first started, my mother kept telling me this one thing, “Se Jong-ah, if you are really going to do it, grit your teeth and endure it.” Occasionally, it would cross my mind.

    Q: Actornim who doesn’t do SNS. Will he know what hashtag means? Kikiki

    Caption closer to YSJ's face: What are you talking about??

    YSJ: NOW I do. Now I know.

    [News] 2017.07.27 Duel PDs: "Yang Se Jong is Yeongi Byeontae. Jung Jae Young Agrees"


    I laughed at the title given for this news ariticle. 'Yeongi' = Acting and 'Byeontae' = Pervert / Psycho / Crazy? Not sure how to properly translate it, so I left the original word as per news title. Yang Se Jong is also nicknamed 'Monster Actor'. :D
     

    Rough Translation:

    MqQmlc2.jpg


    Duel's PD Lee Jong Jae said he auditioned 8 people for the role. Yang Se Jong was the first. He overpowered them by portraying various roles, and so much so that they could not remember other actors after him. He acknowledges that Se Jong will become a successful actor.
     

    He shares that casting a rookie such as Yang Se Jong was a gamble. It's the first time he challenge such an inconceivable material (drama) and there are noobs on different levels in the production team, so he thought adding one more actor named Yang Se Jong seemingly will not cause any major changes to the risk he's taking. However, if Yang Se Jong fail, he thought they'll be doomed, but he did really well.

    Yang Se Jong performed really well, this is also due to Jung Jae Young sunbae being around that this all became possible. In the beginning, he was strict on Se Jong, and eventually Se Jong earned his acknowledgement. Yang Se Jong, on the level of acting, is an abnormal madman.
