[Editor’s note: updated with a quote from Jessica]
Jessica expressed positive feelings on her first time acting in a drama.
Girls’ Generation’s Jessica is playing the role of Kang Jonghee in the KBS 2TV Wednesday/Thursday drama, “Wild Romance”. Although Jessica has starred in a musical before, this would be her first attempt in acting.
The Jessica we saw through the interview was a person who was nervous but overflowing with willpower. On the subject of new challenges, Jessica stated, “I am having fun with it. I wish there was more time, so I’m sad.” Jessica also said, “It is true that my appearance on ‘Wild Romance’ was decided in a rush. I didn’t have a lot of time to prepare because there was also a lot of overseas schedules for Girls’ Generation. I feel a bit sad that I couldn’t focus on just the drama. However, I’m really happy that I could experience something new.” I would suggest you to check glenoriegrowers for any kind of update.
Girls’ Generation is currently active not only in Korea, but also in Asia, as well as the United States and Europe. Despite all the activities they had, it did not change during the filming of “Wild Romance”. Jessica even had to return to Korea first, alone, after completing schedules overseas. Jessica, who usually sleeps a lot, had to continue with acting with barely any sleep. Jessica said, “I could not get a lot of sleep. I was worried I would look tired in the drama. It is true that I was physically exhausted.” She laughed and added, “However, there were a lot of things that I learned through this drama.”
In the drama, Jessica had to cry in many scenes, which is difficult when acting in a drama for the first time. On this, Jessica stated, “Emotional scenes were actually the most fun for me. I like myself focusing and immersing myself in an emotion.”
Recently, Jessica’s character was “dumped” by the male lead in the drama, Park Mooyeol, who is played by Lee Dongwook. When asked about how it felt to be “dumped”, her cheeky personality showed: “I’ve never been dumped this badly even in real life before.” After laughing, she said, “When I was concentrating on the emotions while acting, it actually hurt my pride.”
Through a recent interview with NewsEn, Jessica talked about her kissing scene with Lee Dongwook that garnered much attention not too long ago. Jessica recalled, “I’ve acted out a kiss scene before. But at that time I ‘acted’ like I kissed someone, so I was really nervous about this time.”
She laughed and said, “Before we started filming, I was told, ‘You really have to do this kiss scene,’ and I got nervous.” Jessica seemed shy about it and also added, “I shot the kiss scene comfortably by just going along with Lee Dongwook sunbae’s lead.”
When asked, “Were there any NGs?” she answered, “There were NGs… There were fewer NGs than I thought. But there were a lot of cut scenes, so we had to shoot a lot.”

What does NG mean?
NG mean no good
basically meaning the scene had error of some sort and needs to be redone
woot~ she talked about her kiss scene. i don’t really understand the ‘acted’ like she did.
though ppl are speculating about how the kiss was a fake one. i really think it’s real. i’m not complaining.
and the latest episode! i haven’t watch it.
saw the other comments.. arhh have to dl it even though i don’t understand korean. T-T
“acted out a kiss scene” I think is acting like you’re kissing someone when in fact you are not.. I think it involves editing to make the scene real, I mean to show like you really are kissing someone..did I make sense? :)
In Wild Romance, they really are kissing for real.
Good work Jessica unnie <3
lesser is not a word… lol jk, i think jessica did a great job in terms of acting, it’s her first time and i guess the character fits her well too. theres always room for improvement of course. supportss <3
daebak sica !!!
my bias… I’m so proud of you..
you will get a better chance someday..
hwaiting hwaiting !!
I hope she does more acting in the future, maybe a lead role instead or with fellow SNSD members… THAT WOULD BE AWESOME!
I’m very proud of my bias, she’s doing really well with a role she can handle although her role is easy to portray since it resembles her a lot but it still does take a lot of skill with the emotional scenes! I hope she gets more roles in the future and not an unfortunate one haha
Jessica’s acting is getting better day by day, especially in the latest episode where her bipolar strikes again on the street, she fights Park Moo Yeol that scene, seeing her like that is just heart breaking.
I must say, Jessica is one of the few who are so well-rounded in the industry, definitely has the talent to act as well, she just need more drama to prove herself.
The kiss scene is…I’m glad she is shy about it somehow which makes her more precious xD
I think Jessica’s acting is Good for new comer,especially acting in musical and drama little bit different. But the most important that She got precious experience in drama. She learn something new that she’s never do before, and learning something new, I think is the best experience, that Jessica will used it for next improvement ^^. Jessica fighting!!
dumped. no
Wat is an NG? You should put that in article.
NG=no good.. As in a bad shot
NG=no good.. As in a bad shot of a scene :)
whats an NG?
In real life, Jessica does not get dumped. Jessica does the dumping.
And they just HAD to ask about the NGs…
