Yoo Yeon Seok revealed that the scenes related to the build up process as to how Yoon Woo fell for Yeon Hee was omitted in the movie ‘Love, Lies’. (Yoo Yeon Seok’s interview with 10Asia, April 14, 2016)

Q: It seems like Yoon Woo is a character who got cursed at a lot by female fans.

Yoo Yeon Seok: Some people were saying that I took up a villain role yet again. I didn’t think he (Yoon Woo) is a villainous character. Because the build up process as to how Yoon Woo fell in love with Yeon Hee was left out a little in the movie, it seems like he became a man who hastily changed his heart.

Their relationship was one that started with Yeon Hee being Yoon Woo’s musical muse.Through some time together, they came to understand each other, and there were scenes where his heart went out to her as he felt sorry for her.

Q: What kind of scene was that?

Yoo Yeon Seok: In the play, Yeon Hee’s father sold her off to the Kwonbon (Gisaeng’s institution). Then later on Yeon Hee and her father came to meet (again) through the ‘Heart of Joseon’.

Working on the ‘Heart of Joseon’ song wasn’t going on smoothly for her. There were also scenes telling how Yeon Hee felt uncomfortable with the song, and she felt like a thorny flower because she couldn’t open up her heart to it.

When Yoon Woo was taking Yeon Hee home after working on the song, her father showed up demanding money from Yeon Hee and beat her up.

Yeon Hee said to me (Yoon Woo) who witnessed the scene, “This is the real picture of Joseon. The real picture of Joseon where a father would beat and sell off his daughter because of some money. That song called ‘Heart of Joseon’ couldn’t reach me.”

Seeing this, Yoon Woo said to her “I feel like you are a teacher to me. I will look right into Joseon and try to make the song again”. Through these events, the song ‘Heart of Joseon’ was born.
