<v Speaker 1>the time today, missus Kim to the world of Gilmore.

0:00:31.920 --> 0:00:34.440
<v Speaker 1>We're back here on the Warner Brothers lot. You spent

0:00:34.520 --> 0:00:38.680
<v Speaker 1>a lot of time here over the years. I'm curious,

0:00:38.880 --> 0:00:42.440
<v Speaker 1>like coming here every how often would you guys shoot

0:00:42.479 --> 0:00:44.800
<v Speaker 1>on a typical season, Like, was it like an everyday

0:00:44.880 --> 0:00:45.680
<v Speaker 1>nine to five thing?

0:00:45.840 --> 0:00:46.839
<v Speaker 2>Oh? Not for me. It was.

0:00:48.960 --> 0:00:51.920
<v Speaker 3>Not for me, but I because I only did like

0:00:52.600 --> 0:00:56.960
<v Speaker 3>forty eight episodes or something, only forty eight, but it

0:00:57.000 --> 0:01:00.480
<v Speaker 3>was our shooting days would get longer and longer and longer.

0:01:00.760 --> 0:01:03.920
<v Speaker 3>So by the end of day five we would often

0:01:04.040 --> 0:01:06.280
<v Speaker 3>end at five in the morning on a Saturday.

0:01:06.360 --> 0:01:07.120
<v Speaker 1>Oh my goodness.

0:01:07.200 --> 0:01:10.520
<v Speaker 3>So that means basically nobody gets a break because we

0:01:10.560 --> 0:01:12.720
<v Speaker 3>start again at six in the morning on Monday.

0:01:12.959 --> 0:01:16.240
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so there were some grueling days.

0:01:16.880 --> 0:01:20.200
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, oh my goodness. Being how often would you do

0:01:20.240 --> 0:01:23.000
<v Speaker 1>like an overnight shoot like that? Was that pretty frequently here?

0:01:23.160 --> 0:01:24.400
<v Speaker 2>That was not uncommon? No?

0:01:24.480 --> 0:01:28.080
<v Speaker 1>Uncommon? Yeah, okay, I'm curious being here in the middle

0:01:28.080 --> 0:01:29.640
<v Speaker 1>of the night. I know, there's there's lots of crew,

0:01:29.680 --> 0:01:31.840
<v Speaker 1>there's lots of lights and everything. Was it ever like

0:01:31.880 --> 0:01:33.480
<v Speaker 1>kind of spooky walking around here in the middle of

0:01:33.480 --> 0:01:33.759
<v Speaker 1>the night.

0:01:34.160 --> 0:01:36.360
<v Speaker 2>No, there's so many people on a TV set.

0:01:36.480 --> 0:01:41.120
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, okay, okay. When we watch Gilmore Girl's Back and

0:01:41.120 --> 0:01:43.919
<v Speaker 1>we watch you in the antique shop, is there's something

0:01:43.959 --> 0:01:47.640
<v Speaker 1>about that set that would surprise people, like, Oh, there

0:01:47.680 --> 0:01:50.240
<v Speaker 1>was like a oh, this is where I'd keep my

0:01:50.520 --> 0:01:52.400
<v Speaker 1>bottle of water or something like that.

0:01:52.760 --> 0:01:57.880
<v Speaker 3>Oh, I had stuff hiding behind everything. My lines, especially

0:01:57.880 --> 0:01:59.920
<v Speaker 3>if I had to speak Korean. Oh my god, they

0:02:00.080 --> 0:02:02.560
<v Speaker 3>were like on furniture on my hand.

0:02:03.800 --> 0:02:05.680
<v Speaker 1>Oh my god. I was gonna ask you about that,

0:02:05.760 --> 0:02:08.800
<v Speaker 1>like how because I mean I've never acted before. Obviously,

0:02:09.080 --> 0:02:11.720
<v Speaker 1>I'm always so curious, like when someone's like reading a

0:02:11.720 --> 0:02:14.360
<v Speaker 1>book or something, do you ever put the lines in there?

0:02:14.560 --> 0:02:14.800
<v Speaker 2>Yeah?

0:02:14.800 --> 0:02:18.640
<v Speaker 1>Like yeah, yeah, so, uh you put on the furniture.

0:02:18.680 --> 0:02:20.120
<v Speaker 1>You just said. That's wild to me.

0:02:22.000 --> 0:02:26.240
<v Speaker 3>I have no pride. Well, especially like the scene where

0:02:26.240 --> 0:02:27.840
<v Speaker 3>I had to speak the most Korean. We got the

0:02:27.880 --> 0:02:30.520
<v Speaker 3>script the night before. I said, I don't think I

0:02:30.520 --> 0:02:32.800
<v Speaker 3>can do this. Well, yeah, you can do this, So

0:02:32.840 --> 0:02:35.400
<v Speaker 3>I showed up the next morning. Luckily one of my

0:02:35.480 --> 0:02:40.040
<v Speaker 3>best friends played my mother. Oh awesome Korean, so she

0:02:40.240 --> 0:02:43.960
<v Speaker 3>saved my butt. I tried them, and I did have

0:02:44.200 --> 0:02:46.679
<v Speaker 3>things written everywhere and they're like, Emily, we could see

0:02:46.680 --> 0:02:48.639
<v Speaker 3>your index cardigo Okay, sorry.

0:02:48.400 --> 0:02:52.600
<v Speaker 1>Sorry sorry. Do people come up to speaking Korean expecting

0:02:52.639 --> 0:02:54.239
<v Speaker 1>you to like when fans.

0:02:54.000 --> 0:02:56.000
<v Speaker 2>Recognize her never believe it or not? Never?

0:02:56.160 --> 0:02:59.079
<v Speaker 1>Okay, okay, because that would I would be like, oh God,

0:02:59.120 --> 0:03:04.160
<v Speaker 1>what do I do? What's your? Is there like a

0:03:04.240 --> 0:03:06.720
<v Speaker 1>memory that from making the show that stands, like when

0:03:06.760 --> 0:03:08.800
<v Speaker 1>you look back on Gilmour Girls, especially being here at

0:03:08.840 --> 0:03:11.040
<v Speaker 1>the Warner Brothers a lot, is there something that kind

0:03:11.080 --> 0:03:13.600
<v Speaker 1>of rises to the top, like one of your favorite memories?

0:03:14.280 --> 0:03:17.079
<v Speaker 3>Probably some of the scenes, I mean some of the

0:03:17.120 --> 0:03:20.919
<v Speaker 3>scenes were just so beautifully written. Yeah, absolutely beautifully written.

0:03:21.240 --> 0:03:26.600
<v Speaker 3>And we had the luxury of our producer was Kreamy American,

0:03:26.720 --> 0:03:30.119
<v Speaker 3>and so her parents are from Korea, so she kept

0:03:30.200 --> 0:03:35.480
<v Speaker 3>everything so very down to earth, realistic, not stereotypical at all.

0:03:36.280 --> 0:03:41.040
<v Speaker 3>So everything was so real and and they built such

0:03:41.040 --> 0:03:45.040
<v Speaker 3>a wonderful relationship between me and my daughter that, like

0:03:45.120 --> 0:03:49.160
<v Speaker 3>the wedding was terribly painful, joyous at the same time.

0:03:50.760 --> 0:03:53.240
<v Speaker 3>But the best scene, my favorite scene, and it's caith

0:03:53.280 --> 0:03:56.720
<v Speaker 3>Cooas's favorite scene too, I think, is where she lies

0:03:56.760 --> 0:03:59.600
<v Speaker 3>to me for the first time. And that's just devastating

0:04:00.080 --> 0:04:02.840
<v Speaker 3>and that was so beautifully written. Yes, and I didn't

0:04:02.880 --> 0:04:07.040
<v Speaker 3>realize until I saw the documentary what Kaiko was doing.

0:04:07.120 --> 0:04:08.760
<v Speaker 2>It's like, oh, dude, no wonder.

0:04:08.760 --> 0:04:11.520
<v Speaker 3>It was so powerful, you know for me, I because

0:04:11.520 --> 0:04:13.600
<v Speaker 3>we don't talk about what we do. We don't talk

0:04:13.640 --> 0:04:15.839
<v Speaker 3>about where is mister Kim or who we we don't

0:04:15.880 --> 0:04:16.719
<v Speaker 3>talk about anything.

0:04:16.920 --> 0:04:19.839
<v Speaker 2>We just live the moment, you know, of course.

0:04:19.760 --> 0:04:21.960
<v Speaker 3>So here it is twenty five years later, and finally

0:04:22.160 --> 0:04:24.320
<v Speaker 3>then I hear what she was doing. I said, oh,

0:04:24.560 --> 0:04:27.760
<v Speaker 3>that makes sense. It was just beautiful. What you know,

0:04:27.839 --> 0:04:29.920
<v Speaker 3>what her thought process was as the daughter?

0:04:30.040 --> 0:04:34.040
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it's watching you guys interact is It's such a

0:04:34.080 --> 0:04:38.400
<v Speaker 1>beautiful thing. And I think seeing that representation on television

0:04:38.480 --> 0:04:41.240
<v Speaker 1>is so important too, especially like in the early two thousands.

0:04:42.440 --> 0:04:45.240
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, I just it's you played such a

0:04:45.279 --> 0:04:47.880
<v Speaker 1>special character and there's so many people that connect so

0:04:47.920 --> 0:04:52.520
<v Speaker 1>strongly with you and Lane and I just from on

0:04:52.560 --> 0:04:53.960
