History Recap / SkipBeatVolume10

* AdaptationalVillainy: Kyoko does an InUniverse example when she figures out how she wants to update the role of "Mio." At her core, Mio is a [[RichBitch Rich]] BitchInSheepsClothing who harbors some major resentment towards her sister Misaso, their mother Mrs. Hongo, and their cousin Mizuki. Mio uses the facial scar from an incident where Misao pushed her into a pile of glass to emotionally blackmail both Misao and their Mrs. Hongo, who has always looked down on her youngest daughter. Hiroko Iizuka interpreted the character as an apparently timid girl who was not ashamed to make use of the WoundedGazelleGambit, using PeekABangs to conceal her [[GoodScarsEvilScars Evil Scars]]. Kyoko's version of Mio is a bitter, resentful teen in perpetual PassiveAggressiveKombat mode, openly showing her scar and having a more defiant attitude. Kyoko's justification is that while the original interpretation was valid twenty years ago, she couldn't see the daughter of a rich family sporting such a large facial scar in the present day. If Mio had gotten such a scar twenty years ago, she would have had to live with it, but nowadays she could have easily found a plastic surgeon to erase or minimize it. Since the scar is fundamental to the blackmailing subplot, and the blackmailing subplot is fundamental to Mio's character and the overarching plot of the series, Kyoko decided to play Mio as the [[MagnificentBastard kind of person that would have kept the scar on purpose]].

* PeekABangs: Hiroko Iizuka's portrayal of Mio in ''Tsukigomori'' utilized these to hide her facial scarring. This also meant that the makeup department didn't have to do 2 hours of work applying her scar makeup every time she was needed on set -- only for the instances where her scar was supposed to be visible.

Kyoko's been scouted for a role in this year's most anticipated drama, a remake of the classic ''Tsukigomori''. But shades of the past threaten to stifle the production. Director Ogata, the driving force behind the remake, turns out to be the son of the director of ''Tsukigomori''. He's got some serious anxiety about distinguishing himself from his father's achievements, and all that anxiety is threatening to boil over.

For her part, Kyoko is struggling to get into the character of Mio Hongo, a troubled young woman with a severely scarred face. Ms. Iizuka, the actress who played the original Mio, has returned to play Mio's mother, and she's got grave doubts about Kyoko's ability to do justice to the role. She demands that Kyoko pass an acting test, and quit the production if she fails!

* Act 55. "Tsukigomori" [[note]]A press conference given for Dark Moon, the remake of Tsukigomori that Kyoko has scored a role in.

* Act 56. "Qualified People" [[note]]Kyoko is put under pressure about how she'll portray Mio Hongo - Ren gives her some advice on the matter, but Kyoko's conflicted. Hiroko Iizuka (the woman who played Mio in the original Tsukigomori and who has returned to play the role of Mio's mother in Dark Moon) demands the right to veto Kyoko's hiring if Kyoko's acting isn't up to her standards.[[/note]]

* Act 59. "The Day the World Broke" [[note]]Kyoko shocks everyone with a Mio which is completely different from the original. But Director Ogata is enchanted with her re-imagining, and reminded that he wants to break away from the mold of the original Tsukigomori.[[/note]]
* Act 60. "Each Person's Shadow" [[note]]Director Ogata feels he's finally found the Dark Moon world he wants to create, thanks to Kyoko's portrayal of Mio Hongo.

* ShedTheFamilyName: Hiroaki, the director of the remake of Tsukigomori, had used his family name "Date" on all other projects, but changed it to "Ogata" before he started work on ''Dark Moon.'' His father Hirotaka Date directed the original, but Hiroaki was tired of always having his work compared to his father's and tried to distance himself from his father's legacy.
