For dramas, I've become more careful because now there are specific works that you think of when you hear the name Song Hye-kyo.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
It always helps me connect with characters, to think about what music they respond to.
Unlike my previous roles, which portrayed girls who are supportive and loving, Hye-jung is a cold loner who doesn't know how to love.
It's always interesting - how do you actually convey thought through song? We're used to the convention on stage. In film, we used to be used to it, and now sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. You need to be fresh and really look at the material.
The music I listen to while writing is really scene-specific. It's just a great motivator, a way to put myself in the mood.
I find sadness and strife to be so much more interesting with an upbeat melody.
Writing songs has a therapeutic effect, and it either kills off love or wins the heart of the lover.
I always prefer to write songs about emotional situations and heartbreak because I like getting into the character.
All the songs I write are about human dynamics, whether it's with girlfriends, boyfriends, or family.
Music is always a part of my characters' make-up.
That is what intrigues me; songwriting and song structure and expression.
