S#156: The Arrest.
The scene, which marked the conclusion of Veterans, was one of the most challenging for Ha-eun to film.
âThough I knew it was comingâ¦.â
She was well aware of Veteransâ overarching theme of good triumphing over evil.
She had also known from the beginning what kind of end awaited Ye-seo.
However, it was the backstory elements designed to make Ye-seo more villainousâparticularly her troubled pastâthat gave Ha-eun much to think about.
ââ¦Itâs still hard, though.â
Ha-eun spent an extensive amount of time rehearsing and refining Ye-seoâs final emotional arc.
After all, Ye-seoâs past served as one of the primary motivators for her descent into crime.
From a young age, Ye-seo was identified as a psychopath, eliciting concern and fear from her family.
She struggled to empathize with othersâ emotions and felt her own emotions only faintly.
This traitâa hallmark of psychopathyâmeant that while Ye-seo could intellectually understand what emotions were, she couldnât truly feel them.@@novelbin@@
Her way of expressing emotions was also markedly different from that of an average person.
At the same time, her intense need for controlâa common trait of psychopathsâmade her dislike being perceived as âabnormal.â
