Ku Hye Sun found it very interesting for flying Sky Lantern in Ping Shi for the first time. She would also use the sky lantern as a sun shade. When heard that one could make a wish when flying sky lantern, Ku Hye Sun did not ask about love but wish for smooth filming of her first Taiwan idol drama. Jiro had flied sky lantern with his friends. For the festival this year, he said, “I want to spend the day with my fans, we can fly a lot of sky lanterns”
Ku Hye Sun was very looking forward to the experience of flying Sky Lantern. She paid attention to every detail from buying it to all steps before flying sky lantern, and even to the staff decorating the set. Coincidentally there were visitors nearby flied sky lantern; Ku Hye Sun was mesmerized after explaination by the translator. She also went to the shops to buy some Sky Lantern souvenirs. Knowing that one can make a wish with sky lantern, Ku Hye Sun said, “I hope filming for Absolute Darling would go smoothly” when asked if she wants to fly sky lantern with her lover, Ku Hye Sun replied shyly, “of course I would like to”
According to the script, the scene of flying sky lantern was filmed during daytime, Jiro said, “ It would be more romantic if flying it at night. Because of the bright colors, that would be beautiful.” Recalling his experience on flying lantern, apart from filming, “when I was a student, I would go to Ping Shi to fly sky lantern with all my friends, it was fun!” As the Festival is approaching, Jiro said, “I wish there would be someone who accompanying me during the Festival” Nonetheless, Jiro, who was working during festivals every year, thought he would be working this year too. “But if possible, I would like to fly sky lanterns with my fans, flying 100-200 lanterns to the sky at the same time must be great.”
Absolute Darling has been filming around Taiwan including North Coast, Yilan, Tai Chung, Kenting, etc. Ku Hye Sun praised about the scenery of Taiwan, she said, “because of filming, the crew has travelled to many beautiful places in Taiwan, it’s great. For instance we have been to the beach at seashore (Fulong Beach), the scenery there was really magnificent.” Ku Hye Sun loves that scene very much, while it was a hardship for Jiro to film on the beach. Since the sea breeze was too strong, after a day of filming Jiro got soar throat. The next day while filming, Jiro’s voice sounds like his friend Mike Ha. Jiro is good at intimating Mike’s voice, he laughed, “sometimes when I was on the phone with Mike, I would intimate his voice and he would say ‘stop intimating, it sounds like I am talking with myself’.”
