Read Summary review of Glass Slipper here.
In Glass Slipper Vol. 2, apart from the dramatic conclusion to the epic story, we're also treated to about 2 hours and 15 minutes of behind the scenes footage.
Not surprisingly they start off with a short montage of Kim Min Sun, to show that she really isn't like the character of Sung Hee who was hell bent on making Yoon-Hee's life miserable. It's cute and great to see the person in action.
They also have an interview with rising star Kim Jung Hwa who plays Park Yeon-woong, a tomboy coming of age whilst being aggressively pursued by Tae-Hee's womanizing cousin, Suh Joon played by Kim Chung Ryeol. This particular interview is adorable due to all of their behind the scenes footage focusing on their kissing scenes ... which we find out are their first kissing scenes as actors. Jung Hwa in particular is fascinating and a joy to watch on screen.
There are a collection of promo events the cast did as well as just random footage of what goes on behind the lens with the crew and actors. You can tell that despite the high drama on screen, the cast and crew are very comfortable with each other and how different the actors are from their characters.
For instance: Tae Hee, the eldest sister, seems rather cold and distant on screen. She's portrayed as a person trying to keep it together, but rather falling apart at the seams. Rarely does she smile or joke around. The actress Kim Ji-Ho on the other hand, is a complete joker, always with a smile on her face, laughing and having a good time. Same with most of the other actors.
In an amusing clip where they document the big fight scene with Park Chul Woong played by heartthrob So Ji Sub, Kim Hyun Joo who plays Yoon-hee/ Sun-woo shows up on set and starts mock fighting in the background with some of the crew. The fight choreographer, eager to help her out is yelled at by the director to ignore the fight going on with her and help out with what's needed to be filmed.
However, the most fascinating clip of all is the catfight scene involving Sung hee (Min Sun) and Yoon Hee (Hyun Joo) at the police station. Min Sun, in particular, is beside herself because she feels just awful, pushing, shoving and pulling hair as the director tells her to be more vicious with every take. In one particular take where she is supposed to slap Hyun Joo across the face she lightly taps and knowing it's a bad take wraps her arms around Hyun Joo because she's so sorry. So they reset, call action and WHACK right across the face that made me flinch just watching. - Now that's professionalism.
YA Entertainment should be releasing more of the dramas with Behind the Scenes footage with Blooper reels.
