Park Jin-young comforts Kim You-jung with a hug during filming

Actor Park Jin-young provided emotional support to Kim You-jung by embracing her after a scene for the tvN drama '100 Days of Deception' concluded on the 26th. Kim struggled to stop crying following an intense sequence where her character, Lee Ga-gyeong, reacts to the death of Geum Seok-jung.

Actor Park Jin-young provided warm support to Kim You-jung by holding her in an embrace even after filming concluded, as she struggled to stop crying following an intense scene. While Kim's deep immersion in her character's sorrow was impressive, Park's consideration in waiting for his fellow actor's emotions to subside rather than rushing to separate after the camera stopped drew significant attention. The scene appeared to extend the tender consolation found within the drama into the actual filming set, drawing interest toward the two actors.

On the 26th, a video titled '[Making] Look at the Baek-il-z's acting party that bursts through the video... Episodes 5-6 Behind the Scenes' was released on the official tvN weekend drama '100 Days of Deception' YouTube channel. The video captures the filming set for episodes 5 and 6 of the tvN weekend drama '100 Days of Deception' and includes behind-the-scenes stories of the actors. Among the footage, the scene that moved viewers was the behind-the-scenes look at the sobbing scene shared by Kim You-jung and Park Jin-young.

In the drama, the character Lee Ga-gyeong, played by Kim You-jung, releases suppressed emotions after witnessing the death of Geum Seok-jung (Kam Woo-sung). Collapsing under unbearable grief, Lee Ga-gyeong sobs in the arms of Sato Hideo (Park Jin-young). Rather than explaining complex emotions with words or offering hasty consolation, Sato Hideo silently stays by her side, embracing her. The tender emotions flowing between the two characters were conveyed through silence and an embrace rather than dialogue, deepening the lingering impact of the scene.

The scene was not easily concluded on the filming set. Kim You-jung burst into tears while held in Park Jin-jung's arms, and even after the "cut" signal announced the end of filming, she was unable to stop crying. The emotions she had summoned to express her character's sorrow continued immediately after the acting ended, revealing the depth of her immersion.

Park Jin-jung's reaction drew particular attention. He did not immediately let go of Kim You-jung once filming ended. He continued to hold her as she sobbed, waiting and comforting her so she could compose herself. Rather than rushing to wrap up the situation, his decision to give his fellow actor sufficient time to calm down added a heartwarming element to the moment.

The moment drew more attention as the real-life scene appeared to overlap with the scene where Sato Hideo silently embraces Lee Ga-gyeong in the drama. It left an impression that the characters' emotions did not exist only in front of the camera, but continued deeply through the process of the actors completing the scene. While the embrace on set cannot be used to overinterpret the actual relationship between the two actors, their mutual respect for each other's acting and consideration for their emotions remained a heartwarming moment.

Kim You-jung led the emotional line of the scene by expressing the loss and pain experienced by Lee Ga-gyeong through delicate facial expressions and tears. Park Jin-jung also captured the character's sentiment by comforting his partner through only an embrace and silence without significant dialogue. The chemistry between the two actors stood out as one side's emotions exploded while the other side silently accepted them.

This making-of video demonstrated that behind scenes that may pass briefly in the finished drama lies the concentration and consideration of the actors. A sobbing scene that leaves a strong impression on viewers is not completed simply through the acting of shedding tears. The authenticity of a scene deepens when the actor's immersion in maintaining the flow of emotion is combined with the breathing of the partner actor and a considerate attitude toward one another after filming ends.

This behind-the-scenes footage of Kim You-jung and Park Jin-jung prompted viewers to revisit the relationship between Lee Ga-gyeong and Sato Hideo, while also conveying how deeply the two actors were immersed in completing the scene. Park Jin-jung's act of holding Kim You-jung until her tears stopped, coinciding with the tender atmosphere of the drama, left another lingering impression on viewers.
