Scriptwriter Shin Yiwon talked about Kang Pio and praised #SongKang for his portrayal as Pio “Unfortunately the two characters, whose paths had become so tragically entangled, eventually went in completely different directions. For ten years, Pio’s life had been deteriorating under the weight of guilt and longing. His life was much like the passage in Human Acts (Han Kang, Changbi, 2014): [After you died, I couldn’t hold a funeral for you and my life became a funeral.] Because of his own insecurities and greed, Pio loses his friend and becomes trapped in a *stagnant/ frozen life. Yet he cannot bring himself to tell a single soul. I wanted to visually capture how he was slowly *collapsing / rotting away from inside out. But I was genuinely astonished by how brilliantly actor Song Kang portrayed this through his sorrowful eyes. I cannot imagine anyone other than Song Kang playing Pio. He seemed to understand the profound emotions buried deep within Pio’s heart. I was also deeply moved and grateful for the attention he paid to the character’s physical details, gradually losing weight as the story progressed to reflect Pio’s deteriorating inner state.” Notes: 화석 같은: 화석 literally translated to fossil but instead of saying “fossilized life”, we used stagnant or frozen 비쩍비쩍: originally it's emaciating (?) like skinny because you don't eat but worse 곯다: literally is rotting, go bad #FourHandsTwoSonatas
