Actress Park Bo-young will show a cynical character that she has never shown before through ‘Melo Movie’.

The Netflix original series ‘Melo Movie’, which will be released on the 14th, is a romance that depicts a movie-like time period in which ambiguous youths who want to be in love and achieve their dreams discover each other, become inspirations for each other, and overcome their own traumas. Choi Woo-shik, Park Bo-young, Lee Joon-young, and Jeon So-nee star.

At a production conference held at the JW Marriott Dongdaemun Square Grand Ballroom in Seoul on the 12th, Park Bo-young said about why she chose this production, “I was captivated by the very realistic love and story of youth‘s dreams contained in the script. And when I received the script, Choi Woo-shik was cast (as the opposing actor), so there was no reason for me not to do it,” he said.

He then explained the character of ‘Kim Moo-bi’ that he plays in the drama. “It’s a character named Moo-bi because his father loved movies so much. To my father, I always felt like I was second to movies, so I hated movies, but later on, I jumped into the movie industry thinking, ‘What‘s so great about movies?’ He said, “On the outside, he’s a friend who‘s thorny and doesn’t want to stand out, but he meets Ko Gyeom, who has a ‘capital E’ personality, and experiences a quiet change in his life.

He added, “In the romances I‘ve done before this one, the tone was always high. However, this character has more of a cynical side, so I tried to lower the tone. I tried to capture my tone that comes out without me knowing it.”
