Ren can't act!! To be precise, he can't act in love scenes. Well, this is expected since we were told about that a long time ago. What I can't understand is why he had to watch the old 'Tsukigomori' when the filming is still going on. As expected, that unconsciously affect his acting. Well, what's done cannot be undone. Given the predictability of
Skip Beat!, I guess Kyoko will come to his 'rescue' and help him to overcome this hurdle. The only question is how?
SummaryThrough Kyoko's stunning performance as Mio, Ogata is reminded that he wants to create a 'Dark Moon' which is different from the 'Tsukigomori' 20 years ago. In order to achieve that, changing the title and background is not enough, he must come up with a unique take on the characters as well. To surpass the original, he needs the support from all the characters to create an impact.Kyoko is relieved that Ogata has accepted her version of Mio. However, she thinks that Ren may not think likewise and is prepared for Ren to scold her. Surprisingly, he does not intend to. Instead, he says that her Mio is better than what he had expected. This makes Kyoko very happy.Meanwhile, Sho finds out about Kyoko's involvement in 'Dark Moon', in spite of his manager trying very hard to hide it from him. Sho appears very shocked.Despite difficulties in the beginning, Kyoko has continued on to prove that she deserves the role. Even the old actress is convinced that Kyoko's version of Mio has surpassed her own version.Other than Kyoko, Ren's performance is commendable too. So far, Ren is the only one in 'Dark Moon' who hasn't had to retake a scene. However, that record comes to an end when Ren is asked to retake a scene many times. The scene requires Katsuki (Ren) to show mixed emotions towards Mizuki (Itsumi). While acting, Ren finds himself unconsciously thinking about the same scene from the old 'Tsukigomori' he watched the previous night. This causes him to freeze in the middle of the take and he finds it difficult to continue acting.
