Pleasantly Surprised 喜歡·一個人 Episode 19 Behind The Scenes Translations

I really want to do more reviewing and recapping, but it's going to have to wait because I'm a little low on time and I always love translating the BTS. This week's BTS features a lot of that little arm-wrestle kiss scene as Puff suggested the change of a cheek kiss to a lip kiss. Thank you, Puff! Also Puff, Jasper and Lene talk a little about their dating/ confession experiences in real life...

       

1. Puff suggests some better changes for the kiss scene
[Pink and white caption: Filming when Kai Qi and Ah Jie compete with their wrist strength (arm-wrestle)]
Jasper (doesn't get it): I feel like Kai Qi wouldn't use (a) kissing-the-hand move
Puff: No, what I just thought of was a different type...that is...
-Cuts to Puff explaining to the camera and Jasper drinking water- 
Puff: Because I felt like it would be "the very last time" (as her character KQ wants to break it off with Jasper's character AJ), then, if we're talking about a kiss, then it's real...(so I should) really go to kiss him...
Jasper [Purple caption]: Really kiss my face
Puff: So then he gets shocked...and then I say, "I've won"
Jasper (seems to get it): Aahhh...(Doing it) This way, instead, is more romantic...
-Cuts to Jasper talking to Puff-
Jasper, teasing: No, You just want an opportunity to kiss me so you're making "a meaning" for this drama, right? (Puff is laughing and raising one hand up to swear an oath).
Jasper point at Puff: You see... 
Puff, laughing, talking to camera with hand up in oath: I really don't (want this "opportunity")! I swear I don't! (laughs)
Jasper reaches his hand out to swot down her raised hand.


Jasper: No wonder you discussed this sort of thing with the director! (grins) 
The director is grinning as he's walking past behind them like, don't involve me in your lover's tiff :P


Puff: Nooo...(It was) Because I was only thinking, (it should be) like those type of situations...it's a bit more romantic
Jasper was looking at Puff as she was speaking. When she finishes, he says...
Jasper: Why...do you want to kiss me? (grins)


Puff rolls her eyes and Jasper grins and then laughs and sinks down on top of his water bottle still grinning and looking mighty happy [Black and white thinking bubble from Jasper: I've won!]
Puff to camera, waving hand in exasperation: (It's romantic)...Excluding who my partner is...
Puff: That is, if you consider this drama's storyline...
Jasper is still laughing while leaning on his water bottle.
Director is coming around
Director: Wait a moment. I thought of something.
Director: When you said really kiss, where are you kissing?
Director: You said really kiss, where are you really going to kiss?
-Cuts to slightly further in the conversation. Director is pointing to Puff and Jasper as he instructs them-
Director: When you kiss his mouth, you've really kissed him, then during the kiss, his hand will automatically just fall down...
Puff is nodding and grinning in agreement with how the director has finalised the scene. But Jasper puts up a fake sulk (because he doesn't think it's cool for AJ...he's joking though)
Jasper to Puff: Go away
Puff, jumping up and down with arms in air, laughing: Very cool. I'm so very cool (cool/handsome = the word is often a compliment for males)
Jasper: (If it's ) This way you just seem like a bad girl (woman)...(walks away muttering to himself in a funny accent)...
Puff freezes from her jumping up and down [Pink caption: A fixed format. (In tv or movies, it means when a moving picture suddenly stops to create an artistic effect of stopping time and space to emphasise a certain scene)]
Camera person laughs.
Puff smiling to the camera: I feel like it's just very cool (shrugs and grins).

2. Practising and filming the arm-wrestle kiss
Jasper and Puff have just filmed the scene before the arm-wrestle and are in position to arm-wrestle
Director: Stop. 
Crew member: Is it ok?
Director: Ok, ok, (The scene has) Passed.
Camera person: Feels like you two already are stealing moves...


Jasper leans down towards their joint hands and kisses...
His own hand! ---haha, though it kinda looks, from the camera angle like he's kissing her hand!--- 


Puff is laughing and swots at him with their joint hands...he continues giving little kisses to his hand.
-Cuts to next scene where Puff and Jasper are playing a real game of hand-wrestling-
[Black caption pointing to both Jasper and Puff: Really playing the game]
Puff: What should I do? My hands really don't have strength (laughs)
Puff struggles to push her arm back and flips Jasper's, but it's no use.
Puff to camera: It's impossible! (laughs) Furthermore, if it's competing on strength, even my face will be distorted (laughs) (seems like Jasper softens his grip)
-Cuts to the actual practise for filming-
Jasper, as AJ, in a low voice: Prepare. Start.
Puff, as KQ, leans over and kisses him on the lips...


Their hands are still up in wrestle and then they push it down slowly.


Kai Qi pulls away slowly and looks sad
Puff, as KQ: I win
Director: Come. Let's do it once more.
Both Jasper and Puff break into sheepish grins.
Director: Ah Jie, when she kisses you, you get such a shock you get startled.
[Pink, purple and white star caption on Jasper: Shy!] ---I think he feels shy because he didn't look 'scared enough' and didn't close his eyes...it looked like he was expecting it and wanted to be kissed. Also, he's always shy doing kiss scenes with Puff---


Jasper breaks into a grin and is leaning on their joint hands. He points a finger at both him and Puff, though still holding Puff's hand.
Jasper looks up, a bit of a laugh: I could see it very clearly...She was slowly... she was coming over slowly...(Puff is smiling at him)


Jasper, straightens up and put on his sombre AJ expression: Right, I'm sorry 
Director: Ah Jie!
Jasper, loudly: Yep! (nodding and closes his eyes to focus and not grin)
Director: When she kisses you, you first have to be so shocked you get startled. Then you must close your eyes.
Puff kindly to Jasper: Was I doing it too slowly?
Jasper, suddenly jerks up a little and says to director...
Jasper: I have to close my eyes?
Director: Right...after you get so shocked and act startled.
Jasper, nods: Ok
Director: You must have your eyes closed, ok?
Jasper, nodding: Ok
-Cuts to Puff and Jasper filming the kiss scene again-


Puff, as KQ, kisses Jasper, as AJ, and then pulls away very slowly.


She's looking sad and uncomfortable...


Puff, as KQ: I win
Jasper, as AJ [Pink and blue caption]: Just for today, let me continue to be stubborn (about this)...(sad smile)
Director: Stop. 
Crew member: Is it ok?
Director: Good
Immediately, Puff and Jasper loosen up. Puff is groaning from having to sit and kneel for so long, Jasper jumps up [Red caption: Jumps!]
Jasper: (It was) Very uneasy (for me)!
Jumps up and runs to the corner away from Puff (haha, if you have seen earlier BTS clips, click here to read translations, Jasper goes for a little walk after every kiss scene take with Puff because he gets quite nervous...ahaha, kissing Puff makes him that nervous!)
-Cuts to Jasper talking to the camera-
Jasper: Probably (in real life), I would be afraid to say this to my other half (my girlfriend), and I'd never would say it to them
[Yellow and white thinking bubble caption from Jasper: These words I would normally be afraid to say.]
Jasper: Never in this lifetime would I say these words ---haha, bursting the bubble of fangirls everywhere :D But I think he's just wayyy too chill for this kind of thing. Nevermind Jasper, I also think I'd also feel weird about saying any of this stuff in a relationship ---
Camera person: Just can't get it out of your mouth?
Jasper: Right
Camera person [Yellow and white caption across Jasper]: (Have you) Borrowed from (the lines you speak when) filming the drama to practice (gathering) courage?
Jasper: Errrr...
Camera person: This is just a drama, right?
Jasper: Right
Jasper: This is the interesting part of acting in a drama

3. Playful Ah Jie and Kai Qi night-date scenes
[Pink and white captions: Filming Ah Jie and Kai Qi's sweet date]
Jasper and Puff are doing pretend kung-fu moves and Jasper is making wu-saaaa noises. Puff has moved back a bit in the screen. Jasper is doing some foot movements, which the camera moves down to film.
Jasper [White and yellow caption]: Jasper's newest dance moves...
Puff: Do (your) dance once more
Camera person: I want to watch for a bit
Camera films down to his legs and his does his wobbly knee dance..a little like the dance he did last BTS with Lene and Sean. Jasper and Puff laugh.
-Cuts to Puff standing next to Jasper-
Puff: He's normally this way...
Puff: This is just him!...(puts her hand out to indicate Jasper)
Jasper has crossed his arms across his chest, standing stoutly [red, green, yellow captions: Strange!]
Jasper: (You're) Talking nonsense!
-Cuts to a filming scene-
Jasper, acting as AJ, and Puff, acting as KQ, have their foreheads on each other making silly faces, acting playful and in love, and being cutesy on a date


Director: Stop
-Cuts to Jasper and Puff sitting down talking to the camera-
Jasper: I allow her to become very natural (in her acting)
Puff makes a yeah-right! frown at the camera [black and white thinking bubble caption: How so?!/ As if!]
-Cuts to Jasper and Puff playing a pushing-hands game, trying to make the other one topple over-
[Blue caption: Two childish fiends]


Jasper almost pushes Puff off, at least pushes her hands and he makes strange noises that make him sound like a monkey ---ahaha, I kid you not! Strange hyperactive Jasper :D ---
[Pink, black and white caption pointing to Jasper: Very excited]


Puff is laughing and suddenly she quickly reaches out and pushes him.
Jasper is losing his balance, comically swinging his arms in circles and moving backwards, Puff laughs....then she puts her arms in the air.
Puff: I've won
Puff, doing a double fist pump [gold caption in english]: Winner!
Jasper is back in front of her, making a face, and ready for more.
-Cuts to a new round of the same game-
Puff is pushing on Jasper's hands and he is pushing back.
[Light blue and back thinking bubble caption from Jasper: This time, I will definately win!]


Puff pushes lightly then moves her hands back. Jasper who was expecting more force, pushes too hard and topples forward. Puff is laughing really hard, so is Jasper.
He is doubled over laughing, hand on face.
[White and yellow thinking bubble caption from Jasper: How did it turn out to be this way?!]
Puff comes closer to Jasper, does a peace sign for the camera and a double fist pump.


Jasper: Still haven't fallen, eh?
Someone off screen says something and both Puff and Jasper look over confused at what they say -Perhaps a call to start filming again soon? -...Puff then leans over quickly to try to push Jasper's hands to topple him...but Jasper looks over and Puff has her hands behind her back and just looks like she's leaning over towards him.


[Pink and white caption pointing to Puff: Did it sneakily, but was discovered!]
Jasper walks away to sit down and drink some water.

4. Filming Le Xuan confessing to Ah Jie
Lene is talking to the camera
Lene: Today, for Le Xuan, in this regard, it's a very important sequence of scenes. After all, she has already confessed 3 times...ohh, wait! (Lene looks up thoughtfully) [Blue caption] Confessed two times! [Pink caption] Both times have failed! So this time is the third confession...So...very pitiful, I feel, that a girl has to confess to a guy 3 times and still get rejected (laughs), extremely miserable/disasterous!
Lene smiles sweetly at the camera.


-Cuts to the actual filming of the scene with Jasper and Puff there too-
Director to Lene: He'll just gently push you off
Lene laughs, leans over and puts a hand to her heart
Lene [red caption]: How hurtful!
Director agreeing: Very hurtful, very hurtful
-Cuts to the filming of the actual scene-
Director: 2...
Lene, as LX, crying and throwing tantrum: I like you! I like you!
Jasper, as AJ, looks speechless
Lene, as LX, throws her arms around AJ and leans close to kiss him
Jasper, as AJ, turns his head slightly, looking sad/guilty and reaches arm out to put some space in between [Purple caption: Push!]


Lene, as LX, gradually backs down.
Jasper, as AJ: Le Xuan
Jasper, as AJ, gently: Please don't be this way
Lene, as LX, makes a face that is holding back tears and shoves him as she walks away
Director: Stop
-Cuts to Puff, Jasper and Lene sitting at the dinner table, talking to the camera-
Jasper is looking very seriously down at his meal...probably preparing his sombre expression to act out the scene.
Puff to camera: Ah Jie's internal OS (OS = self-talk/ soliloquy)
Camera person: You help him to match up an OS that would be right
Puff, teasing: (laughs) He's saying "I should've kissed a bit before I turned away" (she's referring to kissing Lene in the scene before). Lene and Puff laugh.
[White and yellow thinking bubble caption from Jasper: Don't speak out the secret words from my heart!] ---hahaha---


5. Personal confession stories - Lene, Puff and Jasper
Camera person [Pink and white caption]: What personal experiences of confessing do you have?
Lene: None (laughs)
Lene [Purple and green captions]: I've mostly had other people pursuing me (laughs) ---I'd believe that...given that she's a former beauty queen. Ah, how nice it must be to have good genes!---


-Cuts to Puff talking to the camera-
Camera person: Have you ever taken the initiative (to confess) before?
Puff looks thoughtful
Puff: Yes, I have! I just let the other person know that I liked him, but I wasn't..wasn't very straightforward in saying..."I like you, do you want to be with me?" (laughs)...I have, in the past, maybe, discussed it with my friend or family member before I said, "I like this person, should I say this directly?" But when I practised saying these sentences with family or friends, they said [Blue and white caption]..."Are you the boy?!"(laughs)...And then I felt, how is it that the girl is doing this sort of thing?


-Cuts back to Lene-
Lene: The guys that I've met have all been quite...quite good. (there's cut here and then Lene seems to be answering a question asked by someone)...yes, maybe even written a song, something like that...but...it wasn't too romantic...because the song they wrote for me was... (Lene makes an unimpressed face) [Purple and white caption]: ...the song was more in a electronic...electronic direction...(techo?)
Camera person, laughing: Why?!
Lene: So I asked him, "Why would it (the song)...go into an electronic direction?"..."Because you give me this tye of feeling...so it's like this" (Lene makes a face) [Yellow captions: !!] (Lene laughs)...How could this happen?
Lene (Yellow and blue caption): What type of impression do I give to everyone exactly?! (laughs)
-Cuts to Jasper talking to the camera-
Jasper: Actually, I haven't recieved/accepted a girl's confession for a long time. (There's a cut here). During high school, only then did I...that is...recieve love letters. Then, girls gave confessions and all that. (Another cut). In the past, I was a person who was afraid to make confessions. The first time I confessed was a "hardening the skin on my head" (experience)...then, I still couldn't say it aloud. [Blue, red and pink captions]: I carved it on the wooden floor boards, and then told her, "Look at this..." (points and then laughs sheepishly and covers his mouth just thinking about the memory)
Jasper: (Still laughing) Very weak!


Camera person: Then were you successful?
Jasper: Er, yes...(makes a thoughful face, biting on his lips and making dimples)


Jasper: Yes...in the end, I was successful ---I have to say...Well, you know, who would turn down those dimples?!---
Jasper: In the end, we were together (looks like he's lost in memory for a moment)
Jasper: Right...(I was) Very nervous...very nervous...
[Pink caption: Next chapter when we come back, Head chef's mini drama sequence where 'the hero saves the beauty']

6. Head Chef carrying Le Xuan after her rejection
[Pink and white caption: Head chef - the hero saves the beauty]
They're filming the actual scene and Sean, as HC, is carrying Lene, as LX, down the stairs.
Jasper, as AJ: Le Xuan!
Director: Stop
Crew member: Is it ok?
Director: Good...(This Scene has) Passed!
The moment this is said, Sean, Lene, Jasper and Puff crack up laughing (Puff is hitting Jasper on the shoulder and Jasper is pointing to Sean in front of the camera) and Sean places Lene down on her feet. Jasper and Puff walk up to where the camera is.
Puff: When he carried her downstairs, I had a type of wanting-to-laugh feeling.
Camera person: Why?
Puff: I don't know
[Blue caption on Sean: (Carrying Lene) Has given him asthma]
Sean and Lene are laughing very hard.
Lene: Has given him asthma
-Cuts to director murmuring some instructions to Sean and Lene-
Lene to Camera: It was fun!
Camera person: Are you talking about being carried by him (Sean)?
Lene: Right
Lene: In this scene, my feet don't even leave the ground...(laughs) (but she's mucked up what she's saying with her laughing)
[Purple caption: Isn't it "feet don't even touch the ground"?]
Lene: (It was) Extremely fun!
[Pink caption pointing to Lene: Very Happy!]
Lene looks up at the camera with wide eyes: Extemely Man(ly)!
Lene laughs.
Lene: Pretty man(ly)...
-Cuts to the scene at the bottom of the stairs after head chef talks to Ah Jie and Kai Qi, and is carrying Le Xuan out of the restaurant-
Director: 5,4,3,2...
Head Chef struts coolly out of the restaurant carrying a sad and limp Le Xuan, honeymoon style, out of the restaurant...
[Gold caption: Degree of Man(liness) has broken the record!]


Walks all the way off the camera, filming the scene...on the camera recording the BTS you can see him grinning.
Director: Stop. At most, one more take.
Camera person: So have you heard him getting a more and more asthmatic feeling?
Lene: Yes...but I feel that this is extremely man(ly), that is, if I had a boyfriend that was like this...it'd be very cool![Black and white thinking bubble caption from Lene: I could avoid walking!]
-Cuts to Sean walking close to Lene and Lene standing on the bottom step with her arms wide open waiting for Sean to pick her up for the scene-
Camera person: Your reaction is that you want to carry/hug him?
Sean: Come now
Sean: Hurry up
Sean gets into a position pretending to be lying in Lene's arms to be carried by her. Lene laughs.
[Aqua and black thinking bubble caption from Sean: I also want to be carried]
Lene puts her arm on Sean's shoulder so that he doesn't fall down.


-Cuts to Sean and Lene standing facing each other. Lene has her arms sticking out-
[Pink and white caption pointing to Lene: Waiting to be carried.]
Camera person: (She's) Well prepared!


Sean, stretching his arms: It's been too long since I've exercised.
Sean, pretending to do weights: I haven't done weights for a long time (laughs)
-Cuts to scene of Sean, as HC, carrying Lene, as LX, out the restaurant again-
[Pink caption pointing to Sean: With a handsome and cool demeanor, holding (Lene)]


Someone off-screen: Is Le Xuan heavy?
Sean: Should still be (considered) very light
Sean has set down Lene and they're looking at each other as he answers the question.
Sean: She's not (heavy)...Still good, la
Director: He's holding her (in a way that) looks like it's taking a lot of strength
Camera swings around to show Director and Sean next to each other in a frame
Director: (His) Thigh was trembling
[Aqua and black thinking bubble caption coming from Sean: Director, you saw it wrong, ok?]
Sean is laughing
Sean: Really? Did my thigh really tremble?
Director, laughing at Sean: Are you really that weak?
Sean laughing
-Cuts to Sean talking to the camera by himself-
Sean, looking confused: I just felt that it was not balanced...and then the weight was just very difficult to hold and (I) didn't know why. Turns out it was the high heels! (cuts to a shot of the high heels laying on the ground) The high heals were too heavy! Those pair of high heels are approximately 20 kilograms
[Red caption: Exaggeration]
Sean: I'm not joking....really!
-Cuts to Sean talking to someone-
Sean: I come over and then immediately pick her up...
Sean: ...I haven't even warmed-up!
[Red and blue caption: Still thinking of an excuse?!]
Sean: Right...really! (laughs)
Sean rolls his wrists.
Sean: Caused my hands/wrists to have a bit of a sprained feeling...(Sean starts laughing quite hard)
A little picture of Lene pops up [Pink caption: Am I really that heavy?!]


Director in background: Alright, alright, ready, ready
Sean to the camera, assuring: She's seriously very light...(holds hand up, laughing)...I'm only joking
-Cuts to the actual scene being filmed again. This angle is from behind head chef-
Sean, as HC, to Jasper, as AJ: There's no need, General Manager. In a moment, you just immediately close the doors and lock them.
Sean, as HC: Le Xuan
Lene is starting to shake from trying not to laugh [Red and black caption pointed at Lene: Card error]
[Shaking yellow captions surrounding Lene: Trembling!] (Puff is laughing from watching Lene shake)


Lene: Sorry! (laughing)
Director: Once again
Lene springs up from the position where she was draped, in a depressed manner over Sean's shoulder and laughing, waving a hand to Puff and Jasper to indicate that she's sorry.
Sean: You (Lene)...don't keep shaking!
Sean sets Lene down on her feet. Puff, Lene and Sean are laughing...Puff laughs and pats the back of Jasper's shoulders.


Director: Wait a moment
Puff to Lene: Were you just moving from shaking? (laughs)
Lene starts laughing again

7. Vic filming the escaping from the kidnappers scene
[Pink and white captions: Zhi Xiang's dedicated movements drama sequence]
Director: ...2...


Vic, as Zhi Xiang, is looking injured and struggling to outrun the kidnappers van. Vic is pretending to limp along. The white van is rolling along very slowly. Then it hits him and he makes a dramatic fall down...rolling a little.
Director: Stop
Director [Orange and purple caption]: Again, another take!
-Cuts to Vic upright again in front of the white van, director giving instructions-
Director: You, at the risk of your life, are running on your own
Director: Let them (kidnappers) chase after you...Don't care about (what's) behind...
Director: You want to, like, at the very end, being running for your life, like almost fast about to scream out.
Director gives an example, edging away, looking back, muted screams, ahhh, ahhh, ahhh...
Director: Like this way...like this way of running...
-Cuts to another take of Vic limp-running...limp-running...then he gets hit by the van and falls over-
Director: Stop. Another take!
Director [Blue and red caption]: You guys need to move and push a bit faster...You're too slow!
-Cuts to Vic's third attempt-
Car chases him, he gets pushed, yells a little...and they replay the fall
[Yellow and red caption: Crash!, Crash! Crash!]
Vic yells a little and then falls, crumpling onto the road...
[Red caption: Flew extremely far!]
Director: Stop. Good, (the scene has) Passed!
Vic: It's ok? (I) Really got crashed
[Yellow caption with 3 thumbs up: Extremely dedicated!]
Director: No issues, right?
Director: Pants have ripped
Director: It's been difficult (for you)
Vic: Nahhh...(sits up)
-Cuts to Vic talking to the camera-
Vic: No issues
-Cuts to Puff talking to the camera. She's been filming the kidnapping scene and looks all "injured"-
[Red and white caption: Heart-aching (for Zhi Xiang)]
Puff: Zhi Xiang really has it very hard...you really pity him...


-Cuts back to Vic talking to camera-
Vic: It's very difficult to become a good person....immediately to become a squashed person...
[Pink caption pointing to Vic: Vic complains]


-Cuts back to Puff talking about poor Vic portraying Zhi Xiang's storyline-
Puff: He really had his ass crashed into (by the van), then he really flew out (onto the ground), and then he hands very injured (cuts to a shot of Vic's hands, covered in scrapes and blood), legs were scraped (cuts to a shot of Vic's knees covered in scrapes and blood),
Vic, putting his backside: My ass has no flesh...(looks a little in pain)

End of Translation. Puff and Jasper...why so cute?! Sean and Lene are also very funny this week, While poor Vic has to suffer quite a bit for his part. Which was your favourite bit of the BTS?
