Lee Jang Woo Explains Why His Kiss Scene with Park Min Young Got R-Rating

On March 13, Lee Jang Woo appeared on SBS “Strong Heart” and shared a behind story about the intimate, 46-second kiss scene he had with Park Min Young on KBS drama “Glorious Jane.”

“In TV dramas, they call it kiss scenes when the actors only put their lips together. I always felt bad about those scenes because the kiss didn’t look like a real kiss,” Lee Jang Woo said. “So I told the script writer about it. Later the script had a line that said it’s not just a regular kiss on the cheek type of kiss, but a real kiss.”

“So I gave her a real, passionate kiss. And that resulted in a ‘unsuitable for minors’ ruling,” Lee Jang Woo said with a smile. He added, “Because they had to keep switching camera angles, the actual recording of the kiss scene went on for over six hours.”
