News #2 on Assorted Gems

** First broadcast : September 5, 2009 Saturday



Ruby-Sanho (Coral)-Hobak (Amber) siblings that appear in scriptwriter Lim Sung Han's new attention-drawing work, "Assorted Gems," have fallen into a dance craze. They started dancing along to the beat of "Lay All Your Love on Me," meaning, "Give all your love only to me."

By coloring the first episode with this scene using the characters as well as ABBA's song characterized by fun rhythms and disco beats, the drama reveals its intention of being portrayed as a bright and cheerful home drama.

The day before filming took place, So Yi Hyun, Lee Hyun Jin, and Lee Il Min siblings gathered together and focused on practicing at a Gang-nam studio.

Yoon Cho Won who is known as the "Legend of Choreography" for working with Um Jung Hwa's "Rose of Betrayal" as well as Kim Won Joon, Junjin, M (Lee Min Woo), etc. has stepped up to make the choreography and guide the actors.

Yoon Cho Won evaluated, "When I first saw the three actors, I didn't think they could (dance). But after three or four hours of practice, their form started to come out. So Yi Hyun especially has the expressions and the body. If she learned properly, she would do really well. Her energy is a bit lacking compared to professionals but I can feel the sexiness."

Also, he said, "The dance movements are feminine so it was a little awkward with male actors. But they sweat a lot and practiced hard. In order to hide the awkwardness they used articles like broomsticks and barbells."

After filming, So Yi Hyun of Ruby's role said, "I received special training all day yesterday. I filmed a video of the choreography so that I wouldn't forget it and kept practicing. We all gathered again this morning and practiced." She reminisced about her difficult moments.

She added, "After looking at the script, I was in a dilemma. My body is on the stiff side. I did major in traditional Korean dance during middle school but traditional dancing and regular dancing are different. I have a jinx which is that my body suffers a lot on the first shoot. Even for 'Before & After Plastic Surgery' I had to ride on the bike for four hours during the middle of winter time. But the script is really fun and the atmosphere on the set is great so I get energetic," she said about her first day of filming.

Like BiBimBap, which is delicious and full of nutrition, this will be a funny, refreshing, and thrilling home drama. The unstoppable story of four jewel sibling in "Assorted Gems" will air its first episode on Saturday of September 5.
