Constant and ChangingIn late October, Krystal expected the final week of filming for her "My Lovely Girl" drama to be a disaster. With three episodes to film in the space of a week, Krystal was prepared to be terribly overworked. But due to her low expectations, Krystal was pleasantly surprised at how the week turned out.
On Friday, the start of the filming week, Krystal was greeted by the sight of a food truck at noon. Back in September, Jessica had promised to send Krystal a food truck to support her little sister's first leading role in a drama, and Krystal was touched that Jessica had kept her promise. Krystal was stuck on set overnight that Friday for filming, but her sister's support kept her in high spirits throughout the night.
But the food truck surprises didn't end there. A few days later on Monday, SM surprised her with a snack and coffee truck.
"Is this for real?" Krystal wondered, looking at the coffee truck that was serving cups of "Crystal Coffee" to the staff members.
"Does SM routinely send food trucks with their idol's name misspelled?" her co-star L asked jokingly as they stood in line at the truck.

"Thanks," Krystal said, accepting the cup. The hot beverage was delicious. She was uneasy about the true intent of the gesture from SM, but she enjoyed it all the same.
However, the best surprise came on Wednesday evening, the final night of filming. After finishing one of her last scenes for the drama, Krystal headed back to her trailer to wait for her next scene. It was a cold night and Krystal walked with her head down to shield her face from the wind.
"Can I have your autograph?" a low voice asked as she passed by.
"Hmmm?" Krystal asked, looking up, expecting to see a fan. To her surprise, she found Amber standing before h
