Actress Lee Mi-sook revealed behind-the-scenes details from when she previously acted in a mother-and-son pairing with Song Seung-heon.
On the 13th, a video titled “Aloha Hawaii: The Island of Memories Returns After 30 Years (feat. Unexpected Hospital Visit)” was released on the YouTube channel “Lee Mi-sook_Mi-sook-ssi with Graceful Demeanor.”
On that day, Lee Mi-sook recalled her time playing Song Seung-heon’s mother in the past drama “East of Eden.”
She made a surprising confession, saying, “The first time I played a mother role was in ‘East of Eden’ in 2008. I was Song Seung-heon’s mother, but I couldn’t see him as my son; I saw him as the opposite sex.”
She continued, “Because I acted with inappropriate thoughts in mind, the director frequently intervened,” adding, “The director told me, ‘Ms. Lee Mi-sook, you must not look at him like that.’”
Lee Mi-sook recounted, “So when I asked, ‘Why?’, the director said, ‘You are too biased, and first of all, that is not a mother’s gaze,’” adding, “He asked me to calm down and please look at him with a mother’s eyes,” which drew laughter.
Meanwhile, Lee Mi-sook also visited a hospital during her trip to Hawaii due to health issues. She revealed that she was feeling unwell, stating, “My nose is itchy, and I keep sneezing. My runny nose won’t stop, and my head hurts.”
After visiting the hospital, Lee Mi-sook explained, “The doctor told me to rest and not do anything for now. He said it would be good to cut off ties with anyone around me who causes stress, and to only do what I want,” adding, “He said that if I don’t, my illness won’t heal.”
She added, “I got a flu shot, but I was tired, so it seems I caught a cold.”
