00:00Some people say that action movies won't succeed if the characters are female.

00:06No, action is not about male or female.

00:09Action is about characters that are captivating.

00:20Personally, I really want to tell stories about strong female characters in a cruel and sadistic world.

00:27How she has a perception of the world, there must be her own point of view.

00:32If you can't understand that, why are you here now?

00:38Every one of them is challenging.

00:41Action is very different.

00:43There must be power and flexibility too.

00:46But eventually, when you get the flow, you kind of just get it.

00:51The preparation, we practice for about two and a half months.

00:54The practice is really intensive.

00:56Because all of them are from scratch, they don't have any basics.

01:00So, we first train them physically.

01:04The practice is really hard.

01:06They have to roll around, their bodies are sore.

01:10For the girls, they must be crying.

01:13It's challenging, very long, emotionally and physically.

01:17My cameraman, my choreographer, they always look at me like,

01:22It's like a baby that still can't see the limit.

01:31It turns out that when we're on the road, the shooting is as hard as it is exciting.

01:35And we become friends, like really close friends.

01:38Shooting with him was also amazing because we really support each other.

01:44And I think we gained a very powerful connection.

01:48I can't watch.

01:49People think that chemistry is just for drama.

01:51But actually, in action, you also need a strong chemistry.

01:54It's really exciting, really fun.

01:56And I also learned from the acting coach how to make chemistry with my mom,

02:00make chemistry with 13.
