Actress Han Geu-ru shared her thoughts on juggling twin parenting and drama filming.
Recently, Han Geu-ru conducted an interview regarding the conclusion of the KBS2 daily drama "Cinderella Game" at a cafe in Cheongdam-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul.
"Cinderella Game" is a drama depicting the story of a woman who is used as a fake daughter by a foe and becomes a Hwashin of revenge, realizing the true meaning of revenge as she grows and heals. Han Geu-ru delivered a passionate performance as Gu Ha-na, a character brimming with vitality and responsibility.
In particular, Han Geu-ru managed to film "Cinderella Game" on her own without a manager while raising twin siblings alone after her divorce.
Aside from feeling sleepy and calling a ride-sharing service twice, Han Geu-ru mentioned she approached filming alone from beginning to end.
During filming, she received help from her maternal family.
Regarding the children's reactions when leaving for filming, he said, "At first, the kids cried a lot. My maternal family didn't visit often when I was raising the kids completely on my own. They would come to eat once every two weeks, so everyone was struggling to adjust. Because of that, it was a bit hard at the beginning," though he added, "As time went on, the kids adapted, and by the time the broadcast started, they seemed to realize, 'Mom is doing this here,' which I believe made the kids feel more at ease. It seems like they’ve grown. They used to be attached to me, and it was emotional."
When asked if there were worries about leaving the kids to work, Han Geu-ru explained, "I believe I truly did my best until I started working again, investing everything in the kids. Because of that, while I feel worry about starting work again, I'm less inclined to think, 'Isn't this wrong?' I feel like I've done everything I could. I struggled with both of them on my own. So it helped me gather my thoughts."
