00:00 - Well, I was still in high school when I was shooting the movies,
00:02 and I could go to school on my off days.
00:03 And that experience was so vastly different
00:06 than moving to the side of the world and living in Korea
00:09 for four months and kind of, I mean, honestly, like Kitty,
00:12 taking this big step of going on this big adventure.
00:15 - Okay. Did the Kitty and Q dynamic come naturally for you guys,
00:19 or was it something you discovered once you were on set?
00:21 - A little bit of both. - Yeah, I think so.
00:24 - Honestly, when I was in the casting process for all of this,
00:28 I obviously knew Anna was attached.
00:31 It was known to the world that she is Kitty.
00:33 So I knew of her, but we only had met over Zoom.
00:37 - For like 15 minutes. - Literally.
00:39 - And it was just reading the scenes. - It was just like two scenes,
00:41 and there was no getting to know each other whatsoever.
00:42 - Not at all, no. - So I was like, "Oh my god,
00:44 I really don't have a feel for her."
00:46 And I'm sure she didn't have a feel for me either.
00:48 So when I got to Korea, it was like, "Oh my gosh."
00:50 But honestly, we meshed so well. It was so easy.
00:53 We are always on the same page about things,
00:55 and it was one of those things where we didn't have
00:58 to communicate how we were feeling if we were in a scene
01:00 and it didn't feel right. - Same wavelength.
01:01 - Yeah. - Exact same wavelength.
01:03 We could fill in the blanks for each other,
01:04 of just the look of like, "Yeah, we knew what that meant,"
01:07 or like, "Oh, should we do this?"
01:08 - "Let's tweak this." - That helps so much,
01:10 and it's so comforting to know
01:12 that we have each other's back as well.
01:13 And I also agree that Q and Kitty's relationship
01:16 is one of my favorite dynamics on the show.
01:18 I feel like everyone wants a friendship like that.
01:20 I know I do, so it is a special one,
01:23 and I feel like I was so lucky to have you as my Q,
01:26 like, completely. - I feel the same.
01:29 - My favorite part about the show
01:31 is all of the relationships.
01:33 So dynamic, everybody likes everybody.
01:36 Who did you guys ship in the show?
01:38 Maybe after watching, who were you really rooting for
01:41 to get together?
01:42 - I am a huge fan of the "Enemy's to Lovers" trope.
01:45 I will say it over and over again.
01:47 - So am I. - Honestly, that's one
01:49 of my favorite things about the show,
01:50 so I really want to see her kind of navigate
01:53 this newfound idea that she has now that Mino has,
01:58 wait, are we gonna spoil it?
02:00 Is this post?
02:01 - Yep, yeah. - Okay, okay.
02:03 Now that Mino has made this declaration
02:05 of his love for Kitty, I think that was like,
02:08 kind of came out of left field, you know?
02:10 It was one of those like, will they, won't they dynamics.
02:12 So I'm curious to see how Kitty can figure out
02:16 her feelings towards that,
02:18 especially now that she's come to terms
02:19 with leaving Kiss, too.
02:20 So it's a lot of things up in the air,
02:22 and I'm really excited to see what she does.
02:24 - And you guys both, you know, traveled to Korea
02:26 to film this, which is a huge deal.
02:28 How was filming different for you, Anna,
02:31 from "To All the Boys I've Loved Before,"
02:33 which was in your hometown of Vancouver?
02:35 - I mean, that already is a huge determining factor
02:37 of the experience.
02:38 One, I was like, in my own bed when I went home.
02:41 Like, I was in my family house.
02:43 I was still in high school when I was shooting the movies,
02:44 and I could go to school on my off days,
02:46 and like, that experience was so vastly different
02:48 than moving to the side of the world
02:50 and living in Korea for four months,
02:52 and kind of, I mean, honestly, like Kitty,
02:55 you just have, like, taking this big step
02:56 of going on this big adventure
02:57 and facing new challenges and meeting new people.
02:59 So definitely was a whole new experience,
03:01 and also just a different position
03:03 of who my character was in the show
03:05 and what that meant for me as an actor
03:06 and me as a person and the things that came with that
03:08 and the responsibilities were majorly different.
03:11 So it was a very steep learning curve,
03:13 and I'm very proud of Kitty and of myself.
03:16 Definitely feel very, very grateful that I got the chance.
03:19 - I've been an actor since I was five years old,
03:21 so I kind of had the mindset
03:23 that I really knew what I was doing,
03:24 and I was proven so wrong.
03:26 I had so much to learn,
03:28 and I'm really grateful for the experience because of that.
03:30 I feel like, yeah, I've grown so much as a brother,
03:34 as a friend, as an actor, as an artist.
03:36 I feel like that experience in Korea
03:39 has really transformed me as a person,
03:41 and I'm really grateful to that experience because of that,
03:43 and also the fact that it was, like,
03:45 a one-in-a-lifetime opportunity
03:47 to go travel to a foreign country for four months
03:49 and live there and work there.
03:51 It's not something every actor gets to do,
03:54 so I feel really blessed that we got to do that.
03:56 - Congratulations again.
03:57 Thank you so much for taking the time to talk with me.
03:59 - Thank you so much. - Thank you.
04:00 - Nice to meet you. - Good talking to you.
