ripgal, thanks a lot for this Cheon Seong-Il interview. Wonderful read, but he’s keeping so mum about the ending (duh). For the love of Haley Joel Osment, I’m not even asking him to reveal if Dae-Gil or Tae-Ha is a ghost, but the man is not giving a thing away.
Anyway here are some bits and pieces. I got lazy so some parts may not be word-for word.
• "I have three scripts left to work on: episodes 22, 23, and 24, but we still have a very, very long way to go."
(Notes: This interview was published on 3/4.)
截至3/4，22，23和24集的剧本还在写。
• "Maybe it’s my nature, but I don’t see any heroes in ‘Chuno’. Indeed, from his appearance and martial arts skills to his personal history of bouncing back up from a dignified fall to the rock-bottom, Song Ta-Ha probably possesses the best conditions to be a hero. Yet at the same time, he is someone who of his own accord is reluctant to become one. That, to me, is pretty much reality. Whenever I am asked about the ending, I always tell people that every story is a tragicomedy where elements of both coexist."
我的眼里，推奴里没有英雄。然而从各个条件（外表，武功，从贵族掉到最底层的个人历史）来说的话，宋太河是最可能算是英雄的一个角色。但他同时也是自己不想成为英雄的一个角色。那对我来说，就是现实吧。每当被问到结局，我总是告诉他们，每个故事都是悲喜剧並存的。
• "The original movie scenario was a hard-boiled action noir; many things changed when it became a TV miniseries. None of the supporting roles you’ve seen in the drama made an appearance. There was Tae-Ha, and Dae-Gil, Wang Son and General Choi. And instead of Hye-Won, we had Tae-Ha’s younger sister."
原始的电影剧本是个纯动作片，没有你现在看到的任何配角，有太河，大吉，王孙和崔将军，没有惠媛，但有太河的妹妹。
• Q: As Cheon Ji-Ho, Seong Dong-Il gave a spine-tingling performance that left audiences in awe. He’s a “Cheon”, too, and so presumably akin to your ancestor? (laughs)
A: That is right. I wasn’t particularly bothered about giving him a last name, I don’t know how I ended up giving him my family’s. …I think I might get a scolding at the next clan gathering. “Cheon” surname-holders originally came from China during the Ming Dynasty; they were yangbans who were granted government positions. From an early age I was diligently and zealously educated in our family genealogy. There was actually a secret story about Cheon Ji-Ho also being born a yangban, but eventually I took it out.* No, I’m not trying to let everyone know that we too are yangbans (laughs)! My point in giving Cheon Ji-Ho a last name, I guess, was to illustrate that, yangban or sangnom (commoner), as we live in this world, we never can tell what changes life is going to bring us.
(*Notes: During the early Joseon Dynasty, sangnoms did not have family names -- although this gradually changed as they began to adopt names in order to avoid the stigma of low status. Also, maybe the writer did slip in a hint after all about Cheon Ji-Ho’s noble birth? In Ep 18, a grieving Dae-Gil can be heard calling the dead Cheon Ji-Ho “yangban”.)
这里谈到作家自己姓“千”（或“成”？），还説千姓来自中国明朝，是贵族/两班来的。作家还説原来的故事是有个秘密，谈到千志豪其实是个两班来的，但作家后来把这个构想拿掉了。（翻译的韩饭説，朝鲜时代，平民是没有“姓”的）
• "“Just because others think differently from me, does that mean all their thoughts are wrong?”* Maybe that’s one reason why Song Tae-Ha cannot become a hero -- because he troubles over things that even a hero doesn’t think about. As a general rule, a hero should just be saying “Follow me!” and then run ahead for things to be interesting. I feel kind of bad for Oh Ji-Ho. He could’ve been this super awesome character, yet he must kill himself off. Must be hard for him when he looks at the script."
(*Notes: This is from TH’s dialogue with his men in Ep 14.)
“就因为别人跟我的想法不一样，就意味着他们的想法都是錯的？” 也许那是宋太河不能成为英雄的原因之一，因为他会为一些英雄不会去想的事情伤脑筋。（作家这里的意思是指他把宋太河写成一个有些固执，听不进去别人想法意见的人。英雄应该是不拘泥小事，只要发号施令，朝着让人感兴趣的事情跑。。。所以他成不了真正的英雄。。作家説他为吴志昊觉得有点不好，宋本来可以有个超级棒的性格，但他却要把他自己杀掉。他想吴志昊看到剧本应该很呕/很苦吧。。）
• Q: …There are concerns that (characters including Dae-Gil and Tae-Ha) will meet a tragic end.
A: Personal interpretations may differ, but in my own way I’d like to close it in a happy ending. To be specific would mean giving spoilers, but ultimately, I think hope will turn into belief. To put it plainly, even then there is hope -- yet it is so far away, so hard, so exhausting. The emphasis is not on “hope”, but on “even then”.
问:结局（包括大吉/太河）是悲剧的担忧。。
答：个人解读会有不同，但我会用我的方式缔造一个快乐的结局。説的太白就是剧透了，但最终，我想 愿望会变成相信。坦白説就是：即使那时有希望，但是很遥远，很困难，很累人。重点不在“希望”，而在“即使那时”。

There’s more of course but it’s so super looooong…
He’s being so abstract with the ending, my small brain couldn’t relate.
And whether he meant “must kill himself off” literally or not, already it's giving me the “uh-oh” feeling. Ahhh~, should I lower my Chuno hopes and dreams to make them more manageable?
翻译的韩饭説，不知道作家所谓的“要把他（太河）自己杀掉”（“must kill himself off”）是真的杀，还是抽象上的杀。。。
