“Tiptoe to Kiss Love” filming in Qingdao, Kim Jeong Hoon and Yaodi Join Up
“Tiptoe to Kiss Love”, a fashion drama production of Huayi Brothers Tianyi Film & TV Co. (华谊兄弟天意影视有限公) is filming in Qingdao and Sina Entertainment paid an exclusive visit to the set to watch the filming of a scene involving YaoDi, Kim Jeong Hoon and Peibei.
KJH and Yaodi build tacit understanding; non-stop laughter on the set
In the drama, Korean actor KJH and popular idol Yaodi play a couple that starts off bickering but finally fall in love. Their scenes together are worth attention. The scene filmed on the 19th was of KJH creating an uproar at a fashion show wanting see his former girlfriend, while Yaodi, fearing him getting hurt, tried to stop the fight. One speaking Chinese and the other Korean, although not understanding each other’s language the scene actually went off smoothly. When asked to describe how they coordinated so well, Yaodi praised KJH’s “precise acting”. “He has many little communication cues, warm-hearted ones, such as interesting hand gestures; it is very amusing.”
On hearing her praise, KJH loudly said in Chinese, “Thank you,” which brought laughter. Yaodi said she was previously concerned that communication with KJH would be a problem since she knows no Korean at all, but she worried for nothing. She also said that KJH loves to fool around. KJH mentioned that some earlier scenes required him to have a bad attitude to her character, and asked Yaodi not to take it to heart. She laughed and said, “Not at all.” Although the communication cues between the two were not demonstrated at the interview, it was clear that they interact with each other easily.
KJH praises great changes in China; more mature after military service
KJH starred in Tianyi’s romance drama “Love Strategy” four years ago. Now returning to China, the handsome idol feels that the environment is more familiar to him and he enjoys interacting with the actors from China. When asked if he had any “losses or regrets”, since he enlisted into the army at the height of his popularity, he frankly admitted “losses are inevitable”, but military service enabled him to grow as a person. KJH is now more mature, his acting carries more richness and depth, so his acting in “Tiptoe to Kiss Love” will surely be very different than in the earlier “Love Strategy”.

Yaodi “Tiptoe” to play an agent; Kim Jeong Hoon lacks confidence to play a model
[excerpt of article]
Yaodi, KJH, Peibei and other actors of fashion idol drama “Tiptoe to Kiss Love” are now filming in Qingdao. In Yaodi’s first idol drama, she acts as Korean star Kim Jeong Hoon’s managing agent and a romance between a prince and Cinderella arises. In an interview, KJH who is below 1.8 metres tall, has his own theory about the change in drama title from “Model” to “Tiptoe to Kiss Love”, suspecting that the name change was because the creators they felt he was not suitable enough to play a model.
Kim Jeong Hoon lacks confidence to play a model; apologises to Yaodi “don’t take my temper to heart”
TV drama “Tiptoe to Kiss Love” was originally named “Model”. Taiwan supermodel Peibei was invited to play a model like herself while KJH also acts as a supermodel. Discussing the drama’s name, Yaodi feels that it is very suitable, “The title refers to happiness sometimes being just a little short, just a tiptoe distance away, so it’s easy to give up, but if one would try tiptoeing to reach out, happiness is just by your side.”
Tall Peibei referred to her scenes with actor Renwei, “The title for me, in love not only the female has to tiptoe, my romantic interest Renwei also has to tiptoe in order to kiss me. My kiss scene was for real, I wasn’t used to it. Romance with a shorter guy is a special experience.”
As for below-1.8 metres-tall KJH, he is a little dejected when talking about the drama title. “Perhaps it is because of me, in real life I wouldn’t be able to be a model, hence the name change from “Model” to “Tiptoe to Kiss Love”. Actually I prefer the original name “Model”, and I still treasure this opportunity to act as a model in this drama.”
In the drama, KJH is a famous idol while Yaodi is an agent from a humble background who has to endure KJH’s scolding and criticism. Reporters spied Yaodi on the set trying to stop KJH from entering the launch venue while he pushes roughly. During the interview, he suddenly told Yaodi, “Those angry words I said in the drama, please don’t take them to heart.” Yaodi looked taken aback before answering, “Not at all.” She also praised KJH’s skilful acting.
