The Jewel in the Palace star recalls the pains (the cold weather) and joys (co-star Song Seung-Heon is “cute and cheeky”) of making her TV comeback in the historical drama Saimdang.

Lee Young-Ae 45

8 DAYS: On your comeback TV show, Saimdang, you play Joseon-era artist and calligrapher Shin Saimdang. How did you prepare for the role?

LEE YOUNG-AE: Saimdang is a figure who really existed and she lived in Korea 500 years ago, and she was a famous female painter. I wanted to recreate the paintings created by Saimdang, so I practiced drawing and worked on folk paintings for about a month. It was really fun and beneficial. I also went to the traditional Korean costumes museum and looked at some of the relics and Hanbok pieces from more than 500 years ago. It felt like I was travelling back in time, and it allowed me to focus on the character even more. Plus, I chose some songs which complemented the affectionate scenes between the two lead [characters], and listened to them frequently to get in the mood.

Speaking of which, what was it like working opposite Song Seung-Heon?
