Son Ye-jin, refused food and drinks during "Blood and Ties"

Actress Son Ye-jin says it was agonizing but worth refusing food and drinks during the making of the movie "Blood and Ties", her first thriller since her debut. She's working hard on building a good story in her resume by starring in a thriller as well as a Chinese historical called "Pirates" besides the romance and comedy she's always used to. She's been busier than ever but was able to make time for an interview at which she said, "There were a lot of new attempts this year. I desperately wanted a 'break' after the drama but my passion to do what was in front of my right now was bigger. I think a lot and get greedy when it comes to dramas and movies".

About the movie "Blood and Ties" being released this month on the 24th, she said, "I thought I was going crazy. I didn't want to sleep or eat. I was desperate. A lot was required to carry out the role in the movie but I didn't think I would be able to do anything if I continued like this. I was so exhausted".

"Blood and Ties" is about tracing the past to finding the truth of a kidnap and murder case. Kim Kap-soo and Son Ye-jin have met once again and the actress lost 2~3 kg during this movie. However, she says she could maintain her mentality because of the energy in the movie. "If I was to face a real situation like this I would feel my world crumbling down. I am usually a cute daughter but I played a lot of cute roles as well. It was only possible because it was acting. I learned a lot while acting with Kim Kap-soo as my father".

Son Ye-jin, a known angelic figure, said she's been thinking about marriage and her future. She's been working for 10 years straight and now she's looking back on herself. She says she thinks, "What if I didn't come to Seoul to become an actress?", or "What if I wasn't Son Ye-jin but just Son Eon-jin?"

"I think I've done nothing but work in a way. Was I too precious? I'm sure I've become leisure able and comfortable in my early 30's now. I want to get married at some points but sometimes not. I do think I want to be a good wife and mother. Most of my friends and people near me have gotten married. If I wasn't an actress I would be in Daegu and would have become a regular housewife with children".

However, actress Son Ye-jin is not done yet. "I feel a lot when I look at Kim Hae-sook, Kim Kap-soo and Song Jae-ho. We look at them in awe and feel passion. I hope I can be like them at their age. I need to work hard too".
