Man: (asking Shim Hae-Jin, woman on left) Shim Hae-Jin, what comes to your mind when you think of Choi, Ji Woo?
Shim: She is like a doll.
Man: (off screen) Like a doll...
Shim: She is so pretty like a doll.
Man: (off screen) Lee Sung-Min (woman on right) is also like a doll, isn't she?
[laughter]
Shim: Well, there are many kind of dolls...
Lee: A doll that is sitting down and one that is standing up.  It feels something like that...
Shim & Lee: A small doll...  A big doll...
Lee: A tall and slim doll...  A cabbage doll...
Man: Right.  Choi, Ji-Woo who has always been loved for her pure and innocent image...  Let's see what is the real truth behind her.  Today, let's discover her secrets...  Start, together~!!

[video footage starts with title 'Star! Game of Truth'  'Choi, Ji-Woo']

Narration:  Choi, Ji-Woo, a beautiful woman with kind eyes and milky white skin, always pure and innocent...  As years pass by, she is showing us her new and hidden sides on TV, but let's see how similar her real personality is with her TV personalities...  Now, we will reveal all of her hidden secrets!

[talks about Ji-Woo being picked for most look-alike Isabelle Adjandi, later appearing in the movie 'Runaway Incident of Park Bong-Gohn' as a mute butcher woman.  Says she has a crazy kiss-scene in this movie with the director, who is old enough to be her uncle.]

Shim: (off-screen while the kiss-scene is showing) Director Yuh was lucky...

Ji-Woo: Director Yuh told me not to think of him as a man, but as a beast, or some non-animate object.  He said that would improve my acting, so I just did that (short laughter).

Ryu Si-Won: He said, 'Huh?  Choi, Ji-Woo did a realistic kiss in some movie...'  So I asked, 'What's the name of the movie?'  'Runaway Incident of Park Bong-Gohn.'

Ryu: So, I rented the movie and saw it.  He was not joking. (So I said to myself) Man, what a presumptuous...

Narration: Because of her innocent and pure image, eveyone thought she couldn't even kiss.  But after this, questions concerning kiss never ended for her...

Ji-Woo: (while acting) I thought if you kept hearing my voice, maybe you will think of me.

Narration: Also, another thing about Ji-Woo was her crying acts.  They were amazing, close to perfection, even in her early years, hence getting many people's attention.  Her ever-flowing tears soon became her special talent and trademark.

[On a board that says, "5 things Ji-Woo is most likely to do well"]

MC: Cry well...  Do you cry a lot?
Ji-Woo: Yes, I cry a lot.
MC: Like while watching a Movie?
Ji-Woo: Yes.
MC: While watching your own acting?
Ji-Woo: No, I don't do that...

Narration: But at that time, her pure and innocent image was her main attraction.  And some started to say that she had the beauty, but lacked acting ability.
But finally, everyone agreed that her acting has improved in the SBS drama 'Beautiful Days'

[Talks about her character in 'Beautiful Days' and how her acting got the viewer's attention and touched their emotion]

Lee: (off-screen) She really cries good...

Narration: Okay, now let's see how similar her TV personality is with her real self.

Ji-Woo: Who?  Si-Won oppa?  Well, he is so perfect, so he really doesn't have any hidden secrets.
He is acting arrogant again.

Ryu Si-Won: Do you want to make a scandel?
Ji-Woo: You have to be sincere.
Ryu Si-Won: So you want to make a scandel?  Just decide on that.
Ryu Si-Won: Do you want to be in a scandel?
Ji-Woo: Why are you doing this?  Eat it, you had it in your mouth~
Ryu Si-Won: If you want to be in a scandel, feed it to me.

Ryu Si-Won: When the camera is away, she always feeds me food....
She goes to the restroom with me....
While changing clothes, she helps me wear things, also...
Well, I feel really uncomfortable when she feeds me things like this chocolate...
Especially when she does that infront of many people while filming...
Since we are close, I can't say no...  So I just let her take care of me, since I have good manners...
Ji-Woo: Don't be so arrogant~  (her facial expression is more like, 'Don't be an ass~')

Ryu Si-Won: This situation is Ji-Woo when she is with Lee Byung-Hun after playing around with me...  (imitating Ji-Woo's voice) 'Sir, did you have your meal?'  Then when she comes to me, 'Oppa, did you eat something?'

MC: What did you usually think of Park Chan-Ho?
Ji-Woo: I think good of him...

Ji-Woo: I'm a fox.  To be honest, I'm like a fox.

Park Yong-Ha: She doesn't pretend or hide her personality, but when she acts, she has a bit of fox-like feel...  Like, she says 'How can I do that?' but then she does everything...
'It's so hard... How can I cry...?' but she cries well...  During the scene in a drama we did together, she danced throughout the 5 minute song without resting.  At first she was like, 'How can I dance?  I can't dance...'  But later, we had to stop her from dancing...

MC: So did you think of becoming a teacher?
Ji-Woo: Yes, I did...  I really love children...  So...
But to think now, I think it was a good idea that I didn't.
When kids keep crying and don't listen, I think I will stop talking and use force...I think hand will go first...

MC: We always think Ji-Woo is clean and pure, almost too clean...
How are you in real life?
Ji-Woo: No, I am not like that...  I am so different...  I am not neat or anything like that...
I am very forgetful, so I loose hand bags, shoes, wallets, and clothes easily...
I'm not as careful...

Lee: (off-screen) If you're around her, I think you can get something for free...

MC: Her drinking habit is that she drinks until she can't take it anymore, and then she drinks more, so I really worry.

Ji-Woo: There are times when there seems to be no end to it...  But in my case, I don't know when I'm sitting down.  When I stand up, I become dizzy, and my legs get weak...  So when I stand up, I fall down...
