*Two Weeks Later*
Two weeks is the time it took to film our new K-drama. The K-drama is titled The Fallen: The Vampire & The Werewolf. Our K-drama has 10 episodes. I was shocked that it only took 2 weeks to film the drama. My director later explained to me that it takes 2 weeks to film each episode. Ah, that makes more sense. We filmed our first episode in 2 weeks, one week in Jinju, South Korea and the next week in St. Augustine, Florida. Filming will continue until all 10 episodes have been filmed and edited. In total, it will take 20 weeks to film the entire drama. That is approximately 4.6 months. That's how long it will take to film the whole drama, and it will be airing in both Korea and The United States.

Seonghwa and I film the next episode of our drama. The first week of filming takes place in Jinju. This episode is about Hak Kun taking Josephine to his hometown of Jinju, showing her around. This is also where Hak Kun discovers there are other vampires living among him. They have been living in the shadows and haven't revealed themselves. After Hak Kun discovered that there are other vampires living in Jinju, he decided to form a clutch with them. Now, Hak Kun is the leader of the newly formed clutch of Jinju. Hak Kun introduces his clutch to Josephine. She has a scene where she shows her true, werewolf self. That was a really cool scene to film. Our director casted a talented group of actors and actresses who played vampires.

In our Korean cast are; Song Kang, Jung Hoyeon, Wi Ha-joon, Moon Ga-young, Hwang In-Youp, Cha Eunwoo, Kim Soo-hyun, and Seo Yea-ji. The casting for our Korean cast was done by the legendary Korean director: Bong Joon-ho. He is most-notible for directing the Korean film Parasite. That is a masterpiece of a film, so we all feel honored to have him as our director for our drama. My manager and Seonghwa's manager worked hard together in order to convince Bong Joon-ho to direct for our K-drama. It worked, and we have him as a director. These Korean actors and actresses are people that I look up to. Jung Ho-yeon is such an inspiration. In both the modeling world and the world of acting. Moon Ga-young, Hwang In-Youp, Cha Eunwoo were in True Beauty together. Those three have really good chemistry. Kim Soo-hyun is an absolute legend in Korea. He is one of Korea's best actors.

Amongst our American cast, who plays my werewolf cast include; Myself, Dylan O'Brien, Tyler Posey, Sammy Kim(김우성), Cole Sprouse, Dylan Sprouse, Hailee Steinfeld, Timothée Chalamet, Conan Gray, and Olivia Rodrigo. I'm acting alongside some of my favorite actors and actresses. These people are the people that I look up to most in terms of acting ability. Sammy has never acted, but he can start with our drama. Our drama is Sammy's acting debut. That's really cool. How we got the Sprouse twins to act together again, will forever be a mystery to me. The casting was done by our incredible director for the American portion of the drama, Lin Manuel Miranda. He is new to directing, but I think he's doing a great job so far.

With two separate casts, one in South Korea, and one in America, makes the drama diverse and unique. We also have two legendary directors helping us direct both sides of the drama. Bong Joon-ho directs the Korean cast, composed of Seonghwa and his vampire clutch. Lin Manuel Miranda directs the American cast, composed of myself and my werewolf cast. With two directors and two casts, it makes a unique K-drama that nobody has ever seen before. When this drama finally airs in 18 weeks, people will be shocked to see this new concept: two directors, two casts, two locations. Making this drama is taking a lot. A lot of phone calls, meetings, briefings, and flights. Seonghwa and I constantly fly between America and Korea.

Filming this drama has been a lot of fun. I've gotten to meet some of my all time favorite actors. We've been able to create a new type of K-drama that nobody else has seen before. This drama combines the American soap opera and the Korean sensation that is Korean dramas. I'm liking how our drama is turning out so far. I can't wait for people to see it. I hope my parents watch it. I will convince them to watch it since I star in it. I'm sure my parents will be proud of me. They're proud of me because of my K-pop career so far, now I'm debuting as an actress. They have more reasons to be proud of me.

Seonghwa is impressed with me. He's surprised at how quickly how I learned how to act. I've got some of the best acting mentors, those being my American cast mates. Most of them have been acting for 10+ years. They've got experience, and they're happy to help me out when I need it. I explained this to Seonghwa, and he's proud of me. He didn't think I could do acting as well as I'm an idol. I like to make myself busy. One way of doing that is doing acting on the side, while being a K-pop idol as my main profession. I can't wait to see where I'll go next.
