When you were in the movies, 70 00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:07,520 Speaker 1: you know, to all the boys about franchise, and then 71 00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:09,600 Speaker 1: suddenly you're getting a call like, hey, we want you 72 00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:12,320 Speaker 1: to lead your own show. I mean, have you wrapped 73 00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:13,800 Speaker 1: your head around that by season two? 74 00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:16,200 Speaker 2: No, I honestly still haven't. 75 00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:18,240 Speaker 3: I feel like that sounds so cheesy, like it's just 76 00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:20,920 Speaker 3: like such a dream and doesn't feel real. But honestly, truly, 77 00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:22,880 Speaker 3: like when they first came up with the idea, I 78 00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:24,679 Speaker 3: thought it was joke. Like I think people say that 79 00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:25,919 Speaker 3: all the time, like, oh, we should do a spin 80 00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:27,640 Speaker 3: off for like, oh, we love this character, but like 81 00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:29,840 Speaker 3: you never, I don't know. I don't take it seriously, 82 00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:33,120 Speaker 3: especially with this industry, like everything is like never one 83 00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:35,880 Speaker 3: hundred percent for real, Like you can't Like I'm always 84 00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:37,640 Speaker 3: like I try to have trust issues honestly from this 85 00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:40,080 Speaker 3: job of being like, well like who knows until I'm 86 00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:42,400 Speaker 3: actually on set standing there, I don't believe it. And 87 00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:43,840 Speaker 3: this was totally one of those cases that it was 88 00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:46,080 Speaker 3: so many years of talking about it and hearing different things, 89 00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:47,760 Speaker 3: and then the day that I was actually on the 90 00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:49,720 Speaker 3: plane going to Korea during season one, I was just 91 00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:51,040 Speaker 3: like this is this is for real? 92 00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:52,680 Speaker 2: Like, I still like it hasn't sunk in. 93 00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:55,640 Speaker 1: Wow, that's humble though you're humble. You're a humble person. 94 00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:58,440 Speaker 1: So I'm sure maybe it won't ever sink in until 95 00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:00,000 Speaker 1: you're done and you'll be like, oh I did that. 96 00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:02,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, when you look back on it in reflection, I 97 00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:04,480 Speaker 3: think it will sink in maybe in ten years, like, yeah. 98 00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:06,920 Speaker 1: Good for you. That's amazing. Well, and what's so fascinating 99 00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:09,520 Speaker 1: to me with somebody like you as you're an artist 100 00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:11,360 Speaker 1: who very much has grown up in the spotlight, right, 101 00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:13,480 Speaker 1: Like you've grown up on camera. We've all gotten to 102 00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:17,120 Speaker 1: watch you grow up, and this is a very unconventional experience. 103 00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:19,800 Speaker 1: Most people grow up in the privacy of their own life, right, 104 00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:22,440 Speaker 1: So what's been the best part about that for you? 105 00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:24,960 Speaker 3: I mean, I think when I was a kid, like 106 00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:27,279 Speaker 3: when I was very young, I had dreamed about this 107 00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:29,919 Speaker 3: idea of becoming an actor, but it felt so surreal 108 00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:32,719 Speaker 3: and like not not reachable, like it was. I often 109 00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:34,600 Speaker 3: compare it to a kid wanting to be an astronaut, 110 00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:36,800 Speaker 3: or like dreaming of doing something just feels like that 111 00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:39,920 Speaker 3: only happens in dreamland. It's it's not like a true career, 112 00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:42,839 Speaker 3: So getting to achieve it as a kid in that mindset, 113 00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:45,120 Speaker 3: I think there was something really special where for many 114 00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:47,360 Speaker 3: years it was never a job. I didn't see it 115 00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:49,400 Speaker 3: as like, this is what I do for work. I'm like, 116 00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:51,320 Speaker 3: I'm twelve, this is what I do for fun, and 117 00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:53,880 Speaker 3: this is like this is so unbelievable that getting to 118 00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:56,880 Speaker 3: experience it in that stage when it wasn't really like 119 00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:59,440 Speaker 3: work yet, I think that was really special and really 120 00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:02,280 Speaker 3: valuable because it taught me so many things about like 121 00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:04,200 Speaker 3: why I'm passionate about this and why I love it, 122 00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:06,880 Speaker 3: and the pressures that you experienced in this industry as 123 00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:09,640 Speaker 3: an adult. I was lucky to not have those as 124 00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:12,280 Speaker 3: a kid, and I was really like fortunate to meet 125 00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:14,480 Speaker 3: good people as at a young age, because I know 126 00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:16,760 Speaker 3: it can obviously be a scary industry as well as 127 00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:17,719 Speaker 3: a young person. 128 00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:19,800 Speaker 2: But I was really lucky to have that. 129 00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:21,760 Speaker 3: So I just think getting to enter it at the 130 00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:23,800 Speaker 3: stage that I did was really beneficial for me. And 131 00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:25,800 Speaker 3: it kind of happened in a gradual way as well. 132 00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:28,000 Speaker 3: I was just talking about this with my mom actually yesterday, 133 00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:30,839 Speaker 3: saying that my career kind of happened in a linear 134 00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:34,200 Speaker 3: fashion of it like the recognition I got at the 135 00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:36,120 Speaker 3: very start versus the recognition I got three years in, 136 00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:38,120 Speaker 3: four years in now nine years in. 137 00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:40,800 Speaker 2: Was never like no one knew you. The next day 138 00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:41,520 Speaker 2: the whole world knew you. 139 00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:43,320 Speaker 3: I think that would have been really overwhelming to handle, 140 00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:45,680 Speaker 3: or like starting off with a really big project, a 141 00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:48,000 Speaker 3: really big budget like network would be really scary. But 142 00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:50,200 Speaker 3: I kind of did it in a gradual fashion that 143 00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:52,400 Speaker 3: I was lucky to kind of ease my way into 144 00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:52,760 Speaker 3: it a bit. 145 00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:55,080 Speaker 2: So I love looking back on it. 146 00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:57,320 Speaker 3: I just can't believe that, I don't know, the stuffs 147 00:05:57,320 --> 00:05:59,560 Speaker 3: that we took to get here was crazy. 148 00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:02,480 Speaker 1: So it's so interesting. That's such an interesting perspective that, 149 00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:04,839 Speaker 1: you know, you feel like had it been that overnight 150 00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:07,160 Speaker 1: kind of success or fame, it would have been a 151 00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:08,400 Speaker 1: different experience for you. 152 00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:09,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, no, exactly. 153 00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:11,480 Speaker 1: Probably overwhelming for sure. 154 00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:14,080 Speaker 3: I think I'm already quite overwhelmed and by this, and like, 155 00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:16,240 Speaker 3: I can't imagine for so many people when it is 156 00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:19,159 Speaker 3: that that way, when it is just like a one 157 00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:22,760 Speaker 3: like one hit blows up, everything goes crazy. I think, Yeah, 158 00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:25,640 Speaker 3: the like gradual entry of it was really helpful. 159 00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:30,080 Speaker 1: So what's been the more challenging aspect of that, I think. 160 00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:33,040 Speaker 2: Like balancing high school and regular life. 161 00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:35,919 Speaker 3: I was really determined to like stay in regular public 162 00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:38,039 Speaker 3: school and stay at home and be with my family 163 00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:40,920 Speaker 3: because I've always school's really important to me. I always 164 00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:43,080 Speaker 3: want to go to university after high school, and I 165 00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:45,480 Speaker 3: didn't want to lose that just because I was an actor. 166 00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:49,040 Speaker 3: And to keep that balance throughout so many years, starting 167 00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:51,680 Speaker 3: when you're so young, I think that was hard for sure, 168 00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:55,359 Speaker 3: But I also find it like because I had started 169 00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:58,000 Speaker 3: in elementary school, doing college now at the same time 170 00:06:58,080 --> 00:06:59,880 Speaker 3: almost makes it easier.

I think what you guys put 347 00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:38,960 Speaker 1: out is so meaningful for so many different reasons, which 348 00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:42,240 Speaker 1: we'll get to this season. You're very vulnerable, Yeah we 349 00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:43,360 Speaker 1: see you cry quite a bit. 350 00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:46,320 Speaker 3: Yeah that was new for me. Yeah, I've never really 351 00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:48,599 Speaker 3: had to do that on screen. And Kitty got a 352 00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:50,959 Speaker 3: little bit emotional at the end of season one and 353 00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:53,160 Speaker 3: when she was figuring out her sexuality and coming to 354 00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:55,560 Speaker 3: that journey, that was the most vulnerable we've seen her. 355 00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:57,040 Speaker 2: But this season and we go through that a. 356 00:13:57,000 --> 00:14:01,360 Speaker 3: Lot more of her kind of at her horror, crying 357 00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:04,480 Speaker 3: or breaking down or questioning things and wondering if she 358 00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:05,080 Speaker 3: messed up. 359 00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:07,160 Speaker 2: And I think something that I love about Kitty is 360 00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:07,920 Speaker 2: she's very brave. 361 00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:11,040 Speaker 3: She's very courageous with her heart and she just like 362 00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:13,040 Speaker 3: goes for it. She goes after what she wants. So 363 00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:16,360 Speaker 3: to see someone with that personality trait question things and 364 00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:18,760 Speaker 3: not always be strong, I think it's just as important 365 00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:21,080 Speaker 3: and I think a really cool journey that fans get 366 00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:22,960 Speaker 3: to see her on this season. So that was kind 367 00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:24,640 Speaker 3: of nerve wracking for me too, though because I didn't. 368 00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:26,560 Speaker 3: I'm not as comfortable in that space. I've done a 369 00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:28,880 Speaker 3: lot of comedy in my past, and that is something 370 00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:32,000 Speaker 3: I'm really confident and love to explore with. But being 371 00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:34,760 Speaker 3: vulnerable and like crying on camera for the first time 372 00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:36,800 Speaker 3: and learning how to access as emotions, that was something 373 00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:39,200 Speaker 3: new for me, which I'm happy happy I got the chance. 374 00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:41,480 Speaker 1: Was it weird for you to get into that zone, 375 00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:43,040 Speaker 1: like the first day you knew, Okay, I have a 376 00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:44,600 Speaker 1: really emotional scene coming up. 377 00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:45,440 Speaker 2: I was so nervous. 378 00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:47,680 Speaker 3: Yeah, yes, I will say I was so nervous. I 379 00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:50,600 Speaker 3: had like my headphones and I'm like asking all my 380 00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:52,160 Speaker 3: actual friends, like what do you do when you have 381 00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:54,840 Speaker 3: to cry? Or like literally looking up on Google, like 382 00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:58,560 Speaker 3: how do you make yourself cracks? Like accessing the emotions 383 00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:00,800 Speaker 3: like in your performance and your tone of voice. 384 00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:01,880 Speaker 2: That's one thing, and that's. 385 00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:04,560 Speaker 3: Something that like I find really fun to deal with 386 00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:08,240 Speaker 3: and figure out. But the actual like act of creating tears, 387 00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:10,520 Speaker 3: it's so hard for me. It's something that was really 388 00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:13,840 Speaker 3: really stressful. And then also not like not being hard 389 00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:15,520 Speaker 3: on yourself, because I think I would get really. 390 00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:17,320 Speaker 2: Like why can I do this? Like I want to be. 391 00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:18,760 Speaker 3: An actor, this is something that I should be able 392 00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:20,560 Speaker 3: to do, and I don't know. It is a tough 393 00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:23,240 Speaker 3: thing that I'm definitely learning. And it was interesting I 394 00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:25,720 Speaker 3: used like a tearstick for the first time, or a 395 00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:29,160 Speaker 3: tear like it's like this little mechanism like blow air 396 00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:31,880 Speaker 3: into your eye and that like all these tools to 397 00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:35,160 Speaker 3: help you that I'd never really used before. So that 398 00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:37,560 Speaker 3: was that was a really cool thing for Kitty and me. 399 00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:41,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, And what's so cool is you're ever growing, ever changing, right, So, 400 00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:44,400 Speaker 1: like that's a new experience for you right now, but 401 00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:46,160 Speaker 1: five years from now, you're probably gonna be like, oh 402 00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:48,000 Speaker 1: my god, it can access that emotion right away and 403 00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:50,200 Speaker 1: cry like that totally. That's what's so cool about being 404 00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:51,960 Speaker 1: an artist. You're not supposed to have it all figured 405 00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:54,040 Speaker 1: out all the time, like you need to grow. 406 00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:56,040 Speaker 2: I appreciate that reminder for Yeah. 407 00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:58,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that's really really cool. And you mentioned 408 00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:01,360 Speaker 1: kitty sexuality, which is such a meaningful thing for so 409 00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:04,520 Speaker 1: many people who watch the show, and she's still figuring 410 00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:07,400 Speaker 1: it all out and exploring it. To have that as 411 00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:09,720 Speaker 1: part of your storyline, I mean, do you feel like 412 00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:13,000 Speaker 1: you have this beautiful responsibility to represent a whole new, 413 00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:15,240 Speaker 1: new community that maybe you didn't think would be a 414 00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:16,120 Speaker 1: part of her story. 415 00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:19,680 Speaker 3: Yeah. I was really excited that this show explores that, 416 00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:22,880 Speaker 3: and I think, especially with season two, we did it 417 00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:25,520 Speaker 3: so delicately. I think we were all really cautious of 418 00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:29,440 Speaker 3: like making sure it was something that was celebrated. And 419 00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:33,600 Speaker 3: Kitty's stress that came from her romantic experiences were stressful 420 00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:36,400 Speaker 3: because romance is messy at sixteen and she's a very 421 00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:39,320 Speaker 3: chaotic person and a lot's going on. But it wasn't 422 00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:41,920 Speaker 3: because she was queer. Wasn't because this experience was with 423 00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:44,000 Speaker 3: a girl for the first time, and any of those 424 00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:48,080 Speaker 3: topics they were embraced with curiosity, and Kitty starts the 425 00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:50,600 Speaker 3: season being very excited about it and like, this is 426 00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:52,080 Speaker 3: a new part of who I am and I just 427 00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:55,200 Speaker 3: discovered this, and I want to see what that is like, 428 00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:56,800 Speaker 3: and I want to explore that in my life and 429 00:16:56,920 --> 00:16:58,640 Speaker 3: I want to try dating girls like that. 430 00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:00,200 Speaker 2: That whole storyline. 431 00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:02,880 Speaker 3: Does in an angle of love and curiosity, as well 432 00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:05,200 Speaker 3: as the people in Kitty's life also embrace it. I 433 00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:08,480 Speaker 3: think it's like equally important to have stories in media 434 00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:11,040 Speaker 3: where there might be a struggle with that, because that 435 00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:11,880 Speaker 3: is so often. 436 00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:12,760 Speaker 2: The case, unfortunately. 437 00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:16,159 Speaker 3: But it's also so special to see when it's not, 438 00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:17,879 Speaker 3: when everyone in her life is like, cool, this is 439 00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:19,520 Speaker 3: great and this is a part of who you are. 440 00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:22,080 Speaker 3: When we get to see so many characters just accept it, 441 00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:24,040 Speaker 3: I think that's really really special to see it as 442 00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:24,800 Speaker 3: something positive. 443 00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:27,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, I couldn't agree more. I think sometimes the story 444 00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:29,119 Speaker 1: for the queer community is a lot of doom and 445 00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:33,200 Speaker 1: gloom exactly and you know that is valid, but there's 446 00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:35,320 Speaker 1: also so much more than that. And I think the 447 00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:37,840 Speaker 1: way your show just normalizes it and make it such 448 00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:41,080 Speaker 1: makes it such a beautiful part of her journey is rare. 449 00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:42,760 Speaker 2: And special, you know, totally. 450 00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:46,520 Speaker 1: Okay, we got to talk about this for a minute. Yes, 451 00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:48,680 Speaker 1: And this is a spoiler alert, So if you haven't 452 00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:50,800 Speaker 1: watched us yet, well what are you doing? Like, go 453 00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:55,480 Speaker 1: watch it? But the end of season two, you and 454 00:17:56,240 --> 00:18:00,959 Speaker 1: me and ho yep are together. You don't kiss? No, 455 00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:04,359 Speaker 1: were you supportive of that decision because a lot of 456 00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:06,720 Speaker 1: people thought there should or might be a kiss. 457 00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:09,600 Speaker 2: There are a lot of comments saying where was the kiss? 458 00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:11,879 Speaker 3: There's a lot of tiktoks of people like screaming in 459 00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:14,360 Speaker 3: their living rooms over this, which honestly brings me joy. 460 00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:16,320 Speaker 2: But I don't know. 461 00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:19,840 Speaker 3: I think there is something special about like Kitty was 462 00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:24,560 Speaker 3: really taking taking like her time with her heart, I guess, 463 00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:26,840 Speaker 3: and figuring out what she wanted and what she needs 464 00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:28,560 Speaker 3: right now. And I love that we took the time 465 00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:31,720 Speaker 3: with that and explore kind of different areas to get 466 00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:33,439 Speaker 3: to that at the end of the season, and to 467 00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:35,320 Speaker 3: get to her and Mino, which a lot of fans 468 00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:37,919 Speaker 3: really excited about, which is really cool to see. But 469 00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:40,000 Speaker 3: I think, you know, if we're lucky enough to do 470 00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:42,200 Speaker 3: season three, we got to save something, we gotta say 471 00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:45,320 Speaker 3: something people to look forward to. And I really liked 472 00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:48,320 Speaker 3: their relationships this season. I think it really blossomed a lot, 473 00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:50,119 Speaker 3: and you got to see their true friendship, which was 474 00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:52,159 Speaker 3: really cool, and you know, showing up for Kitty in 475 00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:53,959 Speaker 3: a lot of ways, and Kitty getting to be vulnerable 476 00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:56,840 Speaker 3: in front of him, and I really like where that went. 477 00:18:56,920 --> 00:18:58,280 Speaker 3: And I think a lot of our scenes are some 478 00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:00,639 Speaker 3: of my favorites. So I'm glad people or feeling the 479 00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:01,120 Speaker 3: same way. 480 00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:03,879 Speaker 1: Is working with him just a dream. I mean, you 481 00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:06,000 Speaker 1: two have such great chemistry and it feels like a 482 00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:07,439 Speaker 1: true friendship totally. 483 00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:09,280 Speaker 3: I think it was really cool this season to see 484 00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:11,760 Speaker 3: how different it felt in season one, because season one, 485 00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:13,240 Speaker 3: we're all meeting each other for the very first time, 486 00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:16,600 Speaker 3: and you're jumping into this big, crazy scenario together and 487 00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:18,119 Speaker 3: you're figuring it out. And for him, it was his 488 00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:21,320 Speaker 3: first show for season one and he'd never acted before, 489 00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:24,000 Speaker 3: which was amazing, and he killed it. But this time 490 00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:26,280 Speaker 3: we were so much more comfortable to each other, of course, 491 00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:27,600 Speaker 3: and we knew to her so well and I have 492 00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:30,400 Speaker 3: so much love for him, and specifically doing the dream 493 00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:32,520 Speaker 3: sequence scenes, I think it made it very clear for 494 00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:35,800 Speaker 3: us that season one, the dream sequence, I gotta be honest, 495 00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:37,640 Speaker 3: it was very stressful. We were very stress We want 496 00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:39,080 Speaker 3: to make sure it was right. It felt awkward, it 497 00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:42,199 Speaker 3: was weird. Obviously, sometimes it's like intimate scenes can be 498 00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:44,960 Speaker 3: a little stressful, especially when you haven't shot something like 499 00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:47,560 Speaker 3: that before.

The whole thing was just like soaked through. 674 00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:22,960 Speaker 2: But what I want to be And I love Hairspray. 675 00:26:23,119 --> 00:26:24,400 Speaker 2: I mean, hairstre would be so fun. 676 00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:27,399 Speaker 3: I think Penny, the role of Penny and Hairspray is like, 677 00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:29,720 Speaker 3: I don't know, I just see myself in that energy. 678 00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:31,520 Speaker 3: I think it'd be so much fun to do, so 679 00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:34,360 Speaker 3: who knows, maybe Limentlal Miranda will call me up one day. 680 00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:35,080 Speaker 2: That's the dream. 681 00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:37,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, you know what, he might listen and there were 682 00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:40,000 Speaker 1: listening hit me up. There we go, There we go. 683 00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:49,720 Speaker 1: So as we wrap up, the name of the show 684 00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:52,679 Speaker 1: is called I've never said this before? Yes, And I 685 00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:54,760 Speaker 1: ask every guest this question. I work a lot of 686 00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:58,359 Speaker 1: red carpets and you know, junkets, which you get three minutes, 687 00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:01,399 Speaker 1: six minutes with somebody's not enough time to have a 688 00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:04,720 Speaker 1: real conversation. They're important, But you know, I love this. 689 00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:06,520 Speaker 1: I love sitting down with someone for half an hour 690 00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:09,000 Speaker 1: and really getting to talk about all things and bouncing 691 00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:11,440 Speaker 1: around and seeing where it goes. And I just think 692 00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:13,800 Speaker 1: that's so fulfilling. So I asked this question for people 693 00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:16,840 Speaker 1: to have the opportunity to share something whatever that means 694 00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:18,840 Speaker 1: to them that they want to share that maybe in 695 00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:20,959 Speaker 1: those moments they don't always get to talk about. So 696 00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:23,159 Speaker 1: what is one thing that you've never said before? 697 00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:25,680 Speaker 2: I'm not gonna lie. I thought about this a lot 698 00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:27,680 Speaker 2: before this interview. I was like, what am I to say? 699 00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:27,760 Speaker 3: Do? 700 00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:29,959 Speaker 2: I want to be like light, I want to be serious. 701 00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:32,000 Speaker 2: I was like asking my whole family, my team, like 702 00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:33,359 Speaker 2: all days yow. I was like, what do I what 703 00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:33,959 Speaker 2: do I say? 704 00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:37,440 Speaker 3: And I, through this process of thinking hard about his answer, 705 00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:37,840 Speaker 3: I like. 706 00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:39,680 Speaker 2: Sparked a deep core memory. 707 00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:41,200 Speaker 3: I don't think I've ever shared this before, and I 708 00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:44,600 Speaker 3: think fans would be really interested to know, but I 709 00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:48,600 Speaker 3: have never said that. At the very beginning, Xokitty, originally 710 00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:50,440 Speaker 3: it wasn't even called Xokitty yet. It was just the 711 00:27:50,520 --> 00:27:52,679 Speaker 3: Kitty spin off was going to be based tot Adler 712 00:27:52,760 --> 00:27:55,199 Speaker 3: High which is the high school that Noah or that 713 00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:57,639 Speaker 3: Peter and Larajane go to, and it was going to 714 00:27:57,680 --> 00:27:59,320 Speaker 3: be based in Portland. It was just gonna be Kitty 715 00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:00,760 Speaker 3: going to that high school, and we had a whole 716 00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:03,359 Speaker 3: plotline kind of figured out. Then at one point we 717 00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:04,680 Speaker 3: moved along from that, and then it was going to 718 00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:06,520 Speaker 3: be based in Europe and Kitty was going to go 719 00:28:06,560 --> 00:28:09,080 Speaker 3: to international school in Europe. And for a while that 720 00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:10,879 Speaker 3: was the plan and that was what the show was 721 00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:13,760 Speaker 3: going to be, and then months later it turned into 722 00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:15,920 Speaker 3: Soeul and then everyone was really excited about that idea. 723 00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:18,479 Speaker 3: And I had kind of just been told these different 724 00:28:18,520 --> 00:28:21,200 Speaker 3: concepts and people were bouncing them around. And it also 725 00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:24,080 Speaker 3: been so many years of like the possibilities and figuring 726 00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:27,000 Speaker 3: it out until it actually became real. But yeah, then 727 00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:30,920 Speaker 3: we landed in Kiss in Seoul, But for a long time, 728 00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:32,440 Speaker 3: it was not supposed to be that, and I don't 729 00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:35,160 Speaker 3: think that was ever shared by anybody, So I hope 730 00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:36,520 Speaker 3: fans find the interesting. 731 00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:38,480 Speaker 1: So what do you think was a deciding factor? 732 00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:39,520 Speaker 4: I don't know. 733 00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:42,920 Speaker 3: I think the family connection of figuring out that that 734 00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:45,960 Speaker 3: would be a really cool storyline to explore Kitty finding 735 00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:48,920 Speaker 3: out about her mom and figuring out all these unanswered 736 00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:51,200 Speaker 3: questions that because her mom passed away when she was 737 00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:54,000 Speaker 3: so little and she has a very distant relationship from 738 00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:56,560 Speaker 3: her compared to her other sisters, having that aspect as 739 00:28:56,600 --> 00:28:58,320 Speaker 3: a part of the show wouldn't have really been able 740 00:28:58,360 --> 00:29:01,560 Speaker 3: to exist in these other localeations. So Soul really brought 741 00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:03,680 Speaker 3: that family part, and I think everyone. 742 00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:05,600 Speaker 2: Was really happy about that. So we went with it, 743 00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:07,000 Speaker 2: and I'm so happy we did. 744 00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:09,240 Speaker 3: But I find it so interesting that shows can go 745 00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:12,640 Speaker 3: in so many different iterations in the preparing process. 746 00:29:12,320 --> 00:29:15,000 Speaker 1: And what was that process from those ideas bouncing around 747 00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:17,400 Speaker 1: to landing on where it is today? Like, how long 748 00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:19,680 Speaker 1: did you know about this project before it actually started 749 00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:20,480 Speaker 1: coming to fruition. 750 00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:23,360 Speaker 3: Yeah, when we were shooting the third movie, it was 751 00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:25,520 Speaker 3: brought up, but that was when I was still thinking 752 00:29:25,560 --> 00:29:27,160 Speaker 3: it was like a joke, Like I honestly did not 753 00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:29,360 Speaker 3: think it was real. And then when the second to 754 00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:32,400 Speaker 3: All the Boys movie premiered right around that time, that's 755 00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:35,320 Speaker 3: when it became official that it was like, contracts are real. 756 00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:37,280 Speaker 3: This is a genuine thing that is going to happen. 757 00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:39,280 Speaker 3: Casting is going to start at some point. And then 758 00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:42,640 Speaker 3: that was twenty twenty, and then it took a while 759 00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:45,000 Speaker 3: until we were actually on our feet. But it's crazy 760 00:29:45,040 --> 00:29:46,200 Speaker 3: to think about the whole process. 761 00:29:46,720 --> 00:29:49,040 Speaker 1: That's amazing that got it turned out to be what 762 00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:50,800 Speaker 1: it is, because I don't know if it would have 763 00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:53,240 Speaker 1: been the same totally. You know, Yeah, I agree, Oh 764 00:29:53,280 --> 00:29:55,160 Speaker 1: my god, And I'm having so much fun with you. 765 00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:58,120 Speaker 1: I don't often get Mom in a room right now, 766 00:29:58,280 --> 00:30:00,880 Speaker 1: so I want Mom to come here first.
