(continuing from interview ①) Actress Joo Se bin recounted a harrowing accident that occurred during the filming of "Doctor Shin."
Recently, at the OSEN office in Mapo District, Seoul, a wrap-up interview was held with lead actress Joo Se bin of the TV CHOSUN weekend drama "Doctor Shin."
"Doctor Shin" is a medical thriller about a genius doctor who challenges the realm of gods and a woman whose brain is damaged overnight and who loses her soul. In the work, Joo Se bin played Geum Bara, the youngest reporter in the cultural department of Seongwoo Daily.
That day, when asked if there was any episode she remembered from filming, Joo Se bin said, "During filming, the costume truck caught fire. The costume truck suddenly ignited and burned very greatly," surprising everyone.
She said, "A lot of fire trucks came, and it burned bigger than we thought. It almost spread to the set. The vehicle was a power generation truck, and I understand that the electricity overheated, caused a failure, and ignited. In winter, an electric vehicle caught fire and we joked among ourselves, 'Is this because this work will do so well?' and were very shocked. Nothing like this had happened during filming before; it was extraordinary in many ways. The costumes inside the vehicle were all burned, and there were many twists and turns. It's really fortunate that there were no casualties," she said, breathing a sigh of relief.
However, despite such expectations, "Doctor Shin" has recorded low ratings in the 1% range, which is regrettable. (Nielsen Korea, nationwide households basis) When asked about writer Im Sung-han's reaction to this, Joo Se bin said, "There was no talk like that. But when Um Eun-hyang had a live broadcast and connected the writer by phone, someone asked about the ratings. The writer said, 'Anyway, I wrote well, I have pride in my writing, and people who watched it all said it was fun and good, so I don't cling to the numbers. If we did our best, that's enough. If we did everything without regret, we should just let that pass,' and I agreed with that very much," she honestly shared.
She said, "Actually, our broadcast time is 10:30 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays, so you can't really ask someone who has to go to work on Monday to watch it at the cost of losing sleep. And with OTTs emerging, I think many viewing figures aren't captured in ratings. On Coupang Play, we are competing for first and second place, and because our buzz index is high, I think those reactions are all part of the ratings, so I'm not so hung up on the numbers."
She mentioned that ratings that had been in the 1% range surged to 2.2% in episode 14, saying, "It had been 1% continuously, and just the fact that word of mouth pushed it over 2% made me so happy. When the 2.2% rating was recorded, I immediately shared, 'We passed 2%,' in the group chat," showing a positive side.
