Warning: Spoilers ahead
We’ll always give our flowers to actors with the way they can channel complex emotions for the camera. With some of the scenes they do, actors have a lot on their plate to embody heavy emotions on the fly that most people would require a significantly traumatic experience just to feel it.
It’s no surprise then that, sometimes, actors get carried away by the weight of the character to the point where they’re still in their feels even after the scene has wrapped. That’s talent right there with how these actors can dig deep for the scene and deliver acting that’s a little too real. Scroll down for a few times when actors were still shaking with emotion even after the director said “cut.”

Joshua Garcia is seen as one of the best actors of his generation. And this behind-the-scenes look at his newest movie, Un/Happy For You, is proof of that. The scene in question depicted Joshua’s character, Juancho, in the rain as his girlfriend, Zy (Julia Barretto), calls him to tell him that their relationship is over because she’s seeing someone else. This naturally causes Juancho to break down as he realizes he lost the woman he loves.
In the behind-the-scenes clip, Joshua can be seen crying and sulking even after they stopped filming as Nonie Buencamino, Julia Barretto, and the crew comforted the actor. Joshua was really in that emotional bag and made the scene even better.
JUNG HOYEON IN SQUID GAME
TBH, we’re still surprised that Squid Game was Jung Hoyeon’s acting debut considering how she bodied her role as Saebyeok. In one of her most moving scenes, she and Jiyoung (Lee Yoomi) debate on who should take the bullet during episode 6, with the latter ultimately making the sacrifice for Saebyeok to move forward to the next round.
The choice devastates Saebyeok and she cries on Jiyoung’s shoulder before the deed is done. In a behind-the-scenes clip posted by Netflix, Hoyeon was so distraught with emotion, she was still crying on Yoomi’s shoulder after they cut. Saebyeok just lost her bestie, so we understand Hoyeon getting overwhelmed with sadness.

If you haven’t seen My Demon, a K-drama about a contract marriage between a heiress and a demon, yet, then you’re missing out on a good show. And one of the main reasons why is the lead performance of Kim Yoojung as Do Dohee. She delivered tour de force acting, which is no wonder during one emotional scene, Yoojung was still crying on the floor even after they stopped filming. It got to the point where the crew had to console her as she gave those tears her all.

Some actors prepare for their roles by taking inspiration from their real lives. And that can mean acting that gets a little too real. Such was the case for Korean actress Eugene, who filmed a scene where her character in Penthouse 2, Oh Yoonhee, was holding her dying daughter, Bae Rona, in her hands. The actress revealed that it was the hardest scene for her to film on the show as she also had a daughter. She got so caught up in her emotions that Eugene was still crying even after the director said “cut”, causing her co-stars to comfort her.
