This session took place on Oct 27th at the SBS’s Tanhyun Production Center. The drama talks about the stories of pilot, the crew, air traffic controller, maintenance/mechanical staff. That day, participants include: GHS, Ji JinHee, Yoo Sun, Lee Chun Hee, Lee Hanni, etc. The actors were able to carry out without obstacles and with much enthusiasm not only the difficult air navigation terms but also the professional English conversations. GHS especially was able to show the 100% character of Han DaJin at the reading. (I am paraphrasing here..) Han DaJin is a female cockpit crew member having broken through the gender barriers. From the article I gather that we will see Han DaJin as someone who may not be feminine looking or interested in feminine things. (makes sense right?) I don’t know how to translate joongsung=asexual? At times Han DaJin is adorable and energetic. At the same time, Han DaJin is overly and fiercely ambitious. JiJin Hee also never stopped staying in character as the cool-headed and charismatic Kim Yoon Sung. These were the rumors that spread after the script reading session. Yoo Sun, Lee ChunHee and Lee Hani also showed the total understanding of their characters throughout the reading. The producer stated that the location staff were all amazed at the passion and focus of all the actors despite the fact that it was only the first script reading session. He felt as if he was able to forsee the success of the drama already given the cooperative and professional teamwork atmosphere. The production team hopes for much interest and anticipation from the viewers. The drama will on air Jan 4th and it is the story of the passion and ambition of an assistant pilot becoming a pilot. ——————–
