A cold front much like a “polar vortex”, which is a large pocket of very cold air, swept through eastern Asia in the last few days, hitting places like Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Seoul, Taiwan and Hong Kong. Snow, sleet and icy winds cut right across these areas bringing temperatures down to record lows.
It has been extreme cold, harsh outdoors and chilly indoors, especially when typically there is no need for and you are not prepared with heaters. Maybe chilly is an understatement, I should say, more like freezing your butts off!
Sub-zero degree temperature is cold! Teeth chattering, bone chilling, ears frozen to the point of dropping off, cold! You really need a thick coat with all the layering from good thermal wear and loaded up with heat packs to at least keep yourself comfortable. With the experience from the last few days and that short trip to Seoul in January 2016 to watch Park Sihoo-ssi filming his drama “Local Hero” (“Neighborhood Hero”), I am all sympathetic now for our man.
It is not easy to be an actor, and definitely not easy to be an action hero filming in the harsh outdoors during winter! You can’t be encumbered by thick winter clothing, or you won’t be able to perform the fighting actions smoothly. So what do they do? They dress you up in clothes more suitable for autumn! No joke standing in the harsh outdoors in the open! You will freeze in mere minutes!
So now, I understand why Park Sihoo-ssi spots a ginormous, thick coat and holds on to his little portable heater for dear life in between shoots! It is bone chilling cold out there in the harsh outdoors!
严劣的户外
寒流就像一个“极涡”,一个大袋的非常冷空气,这几天横扫过东亚地区如北京,上海,广州,首尔,台湾和香港等。雪,雨夹雪和刺骨的寒风,把这些地区的温度降到历史最低。
一直是恶劣的户外和寒冷室内,尤其对那些通常没有必要,也没有准备加热器制备的人。也许寒冷是轻描淡写,我应该说,连屁股都快被冻结了!
零下度的温度是极度的寒冷!牙齿抖动,入骨的冷,耳朵冻到几乎脱落!妳真的需要一套特厚的羽绒服,热磨损分层的衣裳,还有温暖贴或温暖包来给妳至少舒服的感觉。过去几天的经验和在2016年1月短暂逗留在首尔观看施厚君拍摄他的新剧“小区英雄”(“邻家英雄”),我非常同情在寒冷户外拍摄中的他。
当一名演员不容易,冬天在恶劣的户外拍摄的动作派英雄更难了!如果穿太多太厚的身衣服,会觉得被捆绑受限制,动作完全笨拙,无法操作。所以他们怎么做呢?把你装扮为秋装!不开玩笑,站在开放的恶劣户外,不到几分钟你就会被冻僵了!
现在,我明白为什么施厚君在冬天会在拍摄休息时候,穿上他那件极厚的大衣,还拼命握着他那小太阳加热器!是骨寒心冷的恶劣的户外!

Jajaja que haces viendo a mi rey
“O, wind, if winter comes, can spring be far behind/’ [Percy Bysshe Shelley]. I remembered the lyrics of Shelley’s poem during the last two weeks, when a Siberian winter cold paralyzed my country. And I am also sympathetic towards PSH for having to suffer such a harsh cold , while shooting his drama. But no winter lasts forever! And I hope PSH will remember,in the depth of the winter, that there is in him an invincible summer! Dear PSH take care of your health!
