For any actor, love scenes are among the most difficult in any movie. However, more pressure is added when the scene is for television, which means that time is tighter and performers have to be able to show realism and convincing acting to hook the picky television audience. Nonetheless, expectations were high when love scenes were called for in a drama series because Overly Cautious Actor (OC) and Pretty Actress (PA) were doing such scenes.

OC and PA have long been rumored to have something special between them and thus, intimate scenes were expected to be done easily by the production. Unfortunately, the production team was shocked at the result of the scenes they had to shoot. Relying on the chemistry between OC and PA, the team thought both would be comfortable with each other and immediately project the required emotion.

Because the scenes called for passion, OC and PA were expected to pretend for the deep yearning their characters had for each other. The location was carefully chosen, as the production hoped that the background would add heat to the scene. As cameras rolled and rolled, “Cut!” was heard quite often as OC showed awkwardness in the scenes. OC seemed to be uncomfortable with the intimacy and it was only after uncountable takes that the production was almost happy that finally OC managed to exhibit the desired action, although the emotion was still not convincing enough. Given that OC has yet to develop into a competent and reliable actor, the production just had to satisfy themselves with what OC could deliver.

After the scenes, OC’s succeeding action was surprising and was open to much interpretation. Like he came in contact with a plague, OC had a long bath and took minutes to brush his teeth. OC was cleaning himself profusely like he was getting rid of something dreadful. This action puzzled his team, as after all, he did the steamy scenes with PA, who has been with him most of his career. They should already be comfortable with each other, but instead, OC seemed to abhor the idea of engaging in passionate scenes with the actress.
