Our Season is a movie about a mother who passed away getting a chance to return to earth for three days to meet her daughter, Jin Joo, played by Shin Min Ah. Jin Joo runs a restaurant she inherited from her mother when she passed away. Throughout the film, Shin Min Ah cooked various foods like handmade dumplings, noodles, kimchi stew, and more.

Lee Eun Ji asked Shin Min Ah how she was able to cook all these foods for the movie. Shin Min Ah shared that she wasn’t the only person who prepared the food.
During cooking scenes, I did a little bit of cooking, and there was someone who set up the food separately. They set up the food, and I did most of the scenes that showed the process of cooking.

Lee Eun Ji then asked the actress if she really ate the food that came out. Shin Min Ah shared that, in her book, there was no spitting out the food.
Other actors spit out the food a lot because they filmed too much, but I generally eat everything. In my book, there’s no such thing as spitting food out. I feel like I can deliver the emotions more when I swallow and eat the food.
