‘Melo Movie’ Park Bo-young mentioned the points she was satisfied with in this work.

On the afternoon of the 18th, Park Bo-young had an interview for the Netflix series ‘Melo Movie’ at a cafe in Jongno-gu, Seoul, and met with Donga.com to talk about the work.

On this day, Park Bo-young said about the release of ‘Melo Movie’, “I was so happy and glad to have met the movie. I think I‘m lucky to be able to show the movie at this age and in the process of my filmography. I wanted to show the image behind my previous romantic comedy, bright and lovely image. As I got older, I wanted to do a mature melodrama. That was the movie for ‘Melo Movie’. They gave me what I wanted to do first. It’s like a gift and I think it‘s luck,” she said.



Park Bo-young said, “I worried a lot about the high tone, but I wondered how people would perceive it if I lowered the tone. I think people didn’t see it as negative or unfamiliar, so I think that‘s a huge growth.” She continued, “I looked at the monitor while filming, and I think I came out a bit more mature. That’s why I thought it would be nice if I could come out a bit faster. I think it‘s also a part of my growth going forward.”

Park Bo-young, who showed everything from an assistant director to a director in this production, said, “It was relatively easy (to act). I just worried about setting the tone with the director, and I didn’t study film directors or assistant directors separately. I met a lot of references, so that part was easy,” she said, “I think the movie was made up of many people overlapping rather than one specific person. So I think the many assistant directors I met came together to make the movie,” she said, drawing attention.

Park Bo-young, who also wore a school uniform in this ‘Melo Movie’, said, “I think looking young is an advantage, but on the other hand, I was worried if I could continue like this. I want people to see the mature me,” and emphasized, “I think I‘ll graduate from the school uniform. I feel it now. It can’t be done. In the group scenes, I can see myself with real high school students. I think I have to graduate now. I can endure appearing alone, but I think I‘ve reached my limit now.”



Park Bo-young also talked about the differences between her character Kim Moo-bi and herself, saying, “Moo-bi is a bit different from me. To put it simply, he’s a friend who shows off his thorns on the outside. That‘s what makes us different. Moo-bi’s tone was lower than mine. I tried to lower the tone a bit because I thought it would be artificial if I lowered it from what I had. The director also knew that tone, so he told me to bring back the movie when the high tone came out and set the tone,” she explained.

Park Bo-young then said, “I think I tried to find parts that were similar to me. That’s why I tried to understand the movie more. I think everyone has shortcomings. I tried to understand things like my father’s shortcomings as my own shortcomings. I tried to find similar parts,” drawing attention.

Meanwhile, ‘Melo Movie’, released on the 14th, is a romance film about ambiguous youths who want to love and achieve their dreams, discover each other, become inspirations, and overcome their own traumas, like in a movie.

Park Bo-young plays the role of ‘Kim Moo-bi’, a woman who hated movies but became a movie director.
