Still, in the back of my mind, I thought, ‘(The role) is still a main character of an episode in a major drama. Are you going to keep playing side roles?’ I had ambitions to climb up the career ladder. I filmed the scene after signing a waiver stating that the director had explained to me the contents of the scene."
