옥주현 Ock Joo Hyun.

someone should do a bracket for tumblrs favorite leo ensnared xilf. i can't do it bc idk half them men's names.... or would that make it funnier 😭

Hi there! First thank you always for translating the Rebecca interviews they are really fun and interesting to read. Seeing some of your comments you made about the Korean Dannys views on romance/homosexuality I was curious. When I first read the novel which was a long time ago, my interpretation of Danny and Rebecca’s relationship was 50/50 maybe really lovers but could also just be some type of non-romantic attachment. After watching the Korean production I feel that there’s a stronger implication of them being lovers. Some Rebecca fandom friends that I know are on the skeptical side I guess about them being real lovers so this is a topic that interests me. I was curious do you think you would’ve still thought of Danny and Rebecca as lovers if it wasn’t for the Korean production/Ock Joohyun? Really wanted to know your thoughts about that! Actlly I want to think of them as lovers but like if asked to defend why I think they’re lovers I’m not sure I’d personally be able support my view properly with evidence or anything since I’m not the good at analysis type etc haha. I hope this makes sense? Thx

Tbh it's kind of hard to say I feel that way 100% with no bias but,,,

(lol under the read more bc i ended up rambling)

Actually, the way I got into Rebecca was I discovered joo hyuns performance > i read the wiki > i watched a subtitled version of the german performance > I watched the Korean production > then I read the book > then I translated the Korean script further and read interviews.

Joo Hyun's performance was only just her singing the Rebecca long reprise at the top of act two, it wasn't really a song that incredibly showcased her interpretation or feelings towards the dynamic between rebecca and danny. when I read the wiki I was already thinking danny and rebecca sounded gay as hell and even watching the albeit reserved german production i felt like the specific situation that danny was found it alluded to that lover dynamic. like im a lesbian LOL so I kind of immediately went hey theres another lesbian right there. When it came to how maxim talked about rebecca it only further cemented in my mind that rebecca was also a lesbian. so like even from the german production, i felt that rebecca and danny were lesbians and had something together. now whether that something was balanced is another story, but i deff in my heart knew that they were some kind of secret lovers.

i don;t think in my mind that i ever had any doubt that rebecca and danny had some kind of more than mistress and servant relationship, and i dont think that i ever doubted that it was ever one sided. idk i just felt it in my gut. But i also moved on from the german production quite quickly when i got a copy of the rebecca production. that initial feeling of theyre lesbians really bloomed into oh they really loved each other when i got to the korean production and joo hyunie was pulling out all the stops. like the way she was acting,,, there was this palpable sense of love, the kind of love that felt equal. i've also talked about this before in one of my review essays (on my writing blog) but i think the contrast of her age against the older german dannys did a lot of work to bring that love closer to "lovers" and a more balanced dynamic imo.

i remember talking to a german rebecca fan and they talked a lot about doing a lot of contextualising and rationalising, trying to bend the script into a way that danny and rebecca were something in a mutual sense. i remember being really confused about that. like they had to put a lot of mental energy into rationalising that they were "mutual lovers" whereas it felt innate to me that they were.

Re: the age contrast. When I finally got to reading the book as well, in my mind i thought danny and rebecca grew up together as children (the line where danny has been with rebecca since she was young). also please note that i'm asian so like cultural aspects of rebecca flew over my head at times, but when i read it thats what i thought that line meant. but i talked to a european rebecca friend of mine and they said danny is referred to as governess and usually theyd be at least like 20 so when danny says she was with rebecca since childhood she meant in an overseeing kind of way; child and carer relationship. me not knowing that cultural thing impacted the balance i saw in their relationship which is why its also interesting that a lot of the korean dannys felt the same way i felt.

i haven't read the korean translation of rebecca so i dont know how they translate that cultural aspect/line but joo hyun, shin young sook, jang eun ah and kim sun young as i have just discovered all thought that danny grew up with rebecca. that her mother was rebecca's nanny and because of their close proximity grew up together. even before reading the interviews where these dannys said that, i also thought that was the case. so maybe its a culture thing?

but because of that, the relationship felt balanced enough that i felt like it was mutual. compounded by the more emotive ways that joo hyunie was expressing just how much she loved rebecca, it felt like a no brainer to me that they loved each other exclusively. sure rebecca was out and about having sex, but it wasnt sex out of love, it felt like sex out of fun or a habitual need, it felt like it meant entirely nothing to her. ergo her "love" (the kind beyond just physical sex) was only for danny. ive always felt very certain of that.

i think your feeling of not being able to defend danny and rebecca mutual relationship is understandable. there's so much ambiguity in the original text that its difficult to say that this thing points directly to this, or lots of lines could mean different things to different people. i'm always the opinion of rebecca is a mirror and depending on what themes or ideas or messages that u pick up, it's really just a reflection of what u want to see most. now whether i agree with another person's image of rebecca through that mirror is an entirely differnt matter, but i can't help but feel that way with danny and rebecca. its like,,, all i can say is, have you looked at them?? dont they seem that way to you??

lol im sure if i put my head into it i could make an essay to "prove" that theyre in a mutual relationship, and i know theres plently of evidence that i could pick out, but the gut feeling has been there from the start!

190803 (Article) Lee Jeehoon on Knowing Bros: "Whenever Ock Joohyun texts me 'Come to my room' I get nervous"

[Newsen reporter Lee Minji]

Lee Jeehoon revealed the text he receives from Ock Joohyun.

Lee Jeehoon clarified it on JTBC's 'Knowing Bros' episode which aired on August 3rd "When Ock Joohyun and I act in the same play and she texts me only 'Come to my room' I get nervous'".

Lee Jeehoon said "Before (the play) starts we always do vocal exercises. When Joohyun arrives in the room next to mine, she hears my voice and says to herself, "I don't think it should be done that way," then she sends a message saying 'Come to my room'".

He added "She teaches me how to vocalize step by step. First, puff out your chest and open your diaphragm. But if you feel closed, yawn. If the note still doesn't go up, pull the back of your head".

Lee Jeehoon said "That was beyond helpful. Singers tend to lean forward when they sing high-pitched songs, but Joohyun told me the sound only expands if you sing it after setting your spine upright. I didn't hear about it during the first rehearsal, and there was a part where I hugged Joo Hyun and sung a high note. I faced her while I was singing, and she held my back straight because she knew I would fall, and it would make a bad sound".

You know if you want you can ask me for help naming them ^^ lol

and omg everytime I have a boiled egg I think of that moment and like yes I’d do the same for him. Omg and the time he shared that she made him food when he said he only ate some bread and she was like, what? no! noona will make you something. Also the other guy was son junho if I remember right, aka the one who smacked his butt during Marie Antoinette!

omg 🥰well i might be dming u to ask who some ppl are bc i still don't know which dilf this was

and im the exact same whenever i boil an egg im like 'renowned revered iconic musical actress ock joohyun peeled a boiled egg for leo'. and her DEMANDING he eat more 😭😭😭😭😭and then BRINGING him food specifically? i can't get over it like wowwwww im truly scared of his power. i'd offer him a bottle of water black out and wake up in the middle of cooking him a 5 course meal and i'd just have to accept that

omg ock joohyun and luna interview for rebecca what a rare gem the yt algorithm has found me

Aside from Pia who is your favorite Mrs Danvers (can be from the musical or not!)

Ooh I do love Kristin Scott Thomas I thought her Danvers was excellent and deliciously chilly. Musical-wise I have a soft spot for Ock Joohyun and Femke Soetenga, since I think they’re sadder, and Susan Rigvava-Dumas who is just ethereal (plus her voice is beautiful)
