Actors Suzy, Lee Jin-wook, Yoo Ji-tae, and Geum Sae-rok have confirmed their appearances in the movie ‘7 O‘Clock Breakfast Meeting for the Lost and Found’ and began their first filming on December 29th last year.

‘Seven O’Clock Breakfast Meeting for Those Who Have Been Heartbroken’ is a film adaptation of the 2012 novel of the same name by Baek Young-ok. It tells the story of people who deal with their own breakups and heartbreaks, as Sa-gang (Suzy) and Ji-hoon (Lee Jin-wook) exchange their ‘heartbreak souvenirs’ at a breakfast meeting where each person has gathered for their own reasons, sharing each other‘s stories and pain.

Suzy and Yoo Ji-tae, who met as a flight attendant and a captain, are expected to present dense and detailed acting while depicting a heartbreaking breakup about love and loss. Lee Jin-wook, who plays a consulting professional instructor, and Geum Sae-rok, who plays his lover and a teacher, are expected to show a deep and weighty romance about the realistic love and breakups of old lovers through their long-term relationship. In particular, the reunion of Suzy and Lee Jin-wook, who worked together as a star and a producer in the Netflix series ‘Iduna!’, is even more delightful.

The direction of this film was taken by director Lim Seon-ae, who received favorable reviews for her unique perspective and delicate directing in the films ‘69 Years Old’ and ‘Love at the End of the Century’. With Ace Studio, which has planned and produced numerous films including ‘In Search of the King’ (tentative title) (director Won Shin-yeon) and ‘Interview’ (director Cho Young-joon), which are scheduled to be released in 2025, took charge of the production of this film, marking the second time working with director Lim Seon-ae on a project following ‘Love at the End of the Century’.
