Park Bo-young talked about working with Choi Woo-shik in ‘Melo Movie’.

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 actor Choi Woo-shik, who she worked with in ‘Melo Movie’, “When I received the script, Woo-shik had already been cast. When I read it, Woo-shik‘s head became Kyeom-i so much that I was running around. I really wanted to do it. He expressed Kyeom-i in a three-dimensional way better than I had imagined, so I thought every day that Woo-shik would receive a lot of love when ‘Melo Movie’ comes out. I wish people could see the cute Woo-shik sooner,” he said.



Regarding Choi Woo-shik’s previous interview where he said he received a lot of help from him during the kiss scene, Park Bo-young said, “We just talked about technical things together. I just didn’t show that it was difficult for me,” and added, “What was so fortunate and great was that we filmed the kiss scene in the beginning and got closer a lot before filming the kiss scene in the middle and later. We felt much more comfortable with each other. In the beginning, I didn’t know much about it in Episode 1, but I think the careful parts were well expressed, and toward the end, we were more comfortable, so there were things that came from comfort rather than tension. I think that worked out well.”

Park Bo-young continued, “I tend to worry a lot, but Woo-shik worries more than I do. It’s the first time I’ve seen someone like that. He also said, ‘I did mirror therapy.’ So I also tried to worry less and do my best. When filming, I tried to go to the set as a character. But I thought of Movie as a cool friend who says everything he wants to say. I tried to do that on set, but I think that to Woo-sik, he must have looked like a straight-forward person. I tried hard to do it like Movie,” he emphasized, drawing attention.



Meanwhile, ‘Melo Movie’, released on the 14th, is a romance that depicts a movie-like time in which ambiguous youths who want to be in love and achieve their dreams find each other, become inspirations for each other, and overcome their own traumas.

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