Upcoming SBS drama “Faith” released behind-the-scene photos of Lee Min Ho, who plays the fearless and charismatic Goryeo Dynasty warrior Choi Young.
In the scene, Lee Min Ho’s Choi Young character is crossing a frozen lake, when the ice cracked and plunged him into the icy water. Instead of floating to the top, he’s dragged deeper and deeper into the lake.
For the underwater scene, which was conducted for half a day, Lee Min Ho had to do several times of rehearsal in deep water in order to create a perfect take. The actor showed no hesitation and filmed his scenes with relative ease. The staff even applauded his work on set.
Lee Min Ho stated, “It was a scene that described Choi Young’s emotions and also my first time to shoot an underwater scene, so I’m personally very excited about this scene. I didn’t have to try to go underwater because I was wearing a suit of armor that weighed about seven kilograms. Thanks to the crew, I could safely shoot the scene.”
“Faith” will premiere on August 13 at 9:55PM KST on SBS.
