A captivating new film, “Devil and Moving,” demanded an extraordinary commitment from its cast, including actor Lim Yoon-a, who reportedly went to extreme lengths to portray her complex character.The actor detailed her experiences during an interview with IMBC Entertainment on Thursday, July 7th, at a café in Jongno-gu, Seoul.
A Dual Role and a Unique Challenge
The upcoming comedy centers on the unlikely romance between Baeksu Gil-gu (ahn Bo-hyun) and a mysterious prophet (Lim Yoon-a) harboring a dark secret. Lim Yoon-a’s role requires her to embody a character cursed with a dual existence – ordinary by day, and overtaken by a devilish persona at dawn. Describing the performance, the actor explained, “It is indeed a multi-person acting rather than a multi-personality, but the body is one, but the personality is different.” This distinction allowed her to explore the contrasting facets of the character with a unique freedom.
Immortal Mischief and a River Stunt
the character’s demonic side is defined by a penchant for unpredictable and often disruptive behavior, described as “immortal mischief.” This included actions like wandering through the night and consuming unusual items, even jumping directly into the Han River. Regarding this daring scene,Lim Yoon-a revealed,”I jumped directly under Wonhyo Bridge.” She emphasized the meticulous planning involved, stating, “It took a long time to take a long time in the demon prophet’s makeup, and it was the last god of shooting, and I went to the place where I could shoot in advance to shoot without a mistake. I prepared.”
A Cream Bread Diet for Character Immersion
Beyond physical stunts, the role also required significant dedication to portraying the character’s unusual habits. The prophet has a peculiar fondness for cream bread, consuming a substantial quantity each morning. Lim Yoon-a shared that she ate “more than 10 cream bread for shooting,” adding, “I think the demon prophet was best expressed when I ate something. Especially, I didn’t eat the cream bread like a hungry person. I ate quite a lot for the shooting.” This immersive approach, encompassing everything from a Han River jump to a dedicated “mukbang” of cream bread, demonstrates the actor’s commitment to her craft.
Reflecting on a Two-Year journey
The project, which began two years ago, represents a significant undertaking for all involved. Lim Yoon-a expressed a sense of closure, stating, “I don’t think it would be taken two years ago. I don’t think it would be.” This suggests a sense of completion and satisfaction with the challenges overcome during the film’s production.
