The Director continued, "Alright, with that out of the way, let's continue with your acting. I have to say, except for that initial one minute of silence, you did better than I thought."
He really was impressed. The director felt like the newbie would take at least 2 or 3 takes to get used to it and get rolling, but the young man in front of him proved him completely wrong after a mere minute of silence. As he looked through the screen in the video village, he also felt like he was a real shopkeeper and, during the scene inside the room, he nailed the anxious body language as he asked. Overall, it was wonderful acting for a first-timer.
Joon-won nodded and replied, "Thanks for the praise. I just did my job to the best of my abilities so that I don't drag everyone down. Also, thanks for giving me this opportunity I'll continue to do my best for the next 2 scenes too." He already knew he passed the little test the director gave him and was good enough to continue.
