Episode 2 of the SBS series "Agent Kim Reactivated," which aired on August 1, shed a deeper light on the hidden stories and relationships of characters that could not all fit into the main episodes.
On this day, Joo Sang Wook described "that day" as a day he will never forget for the rest of his life. In response, So Jisub laughed and said, "I hit him a lot. He deserved to get hit, so he had to be hit."
Regarding the scene where Agent Kim punishes Joo Gang-chan, Joo Sang Wook recalled a filming session he will never forget in his lifetime, saying, "I thought to myself, I took those hits well. But no matter how much we filmed, I hadn't even taken half of them yet. I kept wondering just how long I had to keep getting hit to complete a full lap around the set."
In response, So Jisub said, "He said he had never taken that many action hits before," and added, "I'm sorry, I love you," eliciting a burst of laughter.
Regarding this scene, Choi Dae-hoon and Yoon Kyungho shared the behind-the-scenes story of the drama's iconic scene, saying, "We saw actor Joo Sang Wook once at the script reading and wondered if we would ever get to see him again on set, but we decided to greet him warmly, and the next time we saw him was that day. He came to greet us covered in bruises. And actor Joo Sang Wook said, 'I had no idea this kind of drama was going to be like this.'"
On this day, PD Lee Seung-young praised the actors' improvisations, saying, "They improvised to fill in the gaps between the direction they were trying to take while accurately understanding the script, so I accepted them. They are actors who improvise on a slightly different level."
He also added, "Actor So Jisub has a somewhat innate feel for action. He has a stylish flair even when moving slowly and picks things up quickly, whereas actor Choi Dae-hoon is an extremely hardworking person."
Yoon Kyungho also revealed the behind-the-scenes story of the fight scene between Manager Nam and Park Jin-chul. He started by saying, "My improvisation was, 'Let's not mess with the guy in glasses.'"
He continued, "The very first line we tried to hold back on at the pork belly restaurant was, 'We're just guys in glasses.' I thought the imagery contained in that line implied many things, but I wanted to give that line a sense of release. You shouldn't mess with him, absolutely no one in the world should look down on a person like this," and added, "So I suggested to the director that I wanted to deliver a line that gives a sense of satisfaction, and he loved it. I feel very proud of it because it's a line that runs through our drama and fits the scene well."
Seo Sumin, who played Minji, chose the scene where she says, "Minji, Dad is here, let's go home," as her best scene. Seo Sumin said, "Even though he is my dad, he looked so cool that I rewatched it over and over again."
In response, So Jisub said, "Minji, you've grown a lot since then. It's been a while since we last saw each other," expressing his delight. He then caught attention by saying, "That scene is also one of my favorites. But hearing that she picked the same scene feels a bit strange, as if we somehow connected."
Yoon Kyungho picked the pre-separation meal scene between Agent Kim and Minji as a standout scene. In particular, he noted that Minji's line to Agent Kim, "Eat slowly," was deeply moving. In response, So Jisub surprised everyone by revealing that the line was actually Seo Sumin's improvisation.
Finally, PD Lee Seung-young expressed his gratitude to the actors, saying, "The best acting by performers comes at the moment when they are completely immersed in the moment and forget everything around them. Therefore, it is difficult to repeatedly act out about 10 angles just to film a single scene. However, everyone participated together to shoot a good scene, and I think that is how it was possible to create such great scenes."
Furthermore, the cast and staff expressed their gratitude to the viewers who have loved the Friday-Saturday drama "Agent Kim Reactivated," saying, "We root for all the dads and families in the world. And daughters actually really love their dads."
