Korean actress Son Ye-jin actually got drunk during the shooting of the drinking scenes in her current drama 'Pretty Noona Who Buys Me Food' (literal translation).
On March 30 and 31, JTBC's 'Pretty Noona Who Buys Me Food' aired its first and second episode starring actor Jung Hae In and Son Ye-jin.
In the drama, Son Ye-jin acts as 'Yoon Jin-ah', who works as a supervisor at a franchise coffee shop.
After the two episodes were on air, Son Ye-jin's acting, especially the drinking scenes, was highly praised by the viewers of the drama.
