Choi Woo-shik, who reunited with writer Lee Na-eun after ’That Year, We Are‘, through ‘Melo Movie, is confident that he will present a different character from the one in ’That Year, We Are‘.

The Netflix original series ‘Melo Movie’, which will be released on the 14th, is a romance that depicts a cinematic 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-ni star.

At a production conference held at the JW Marriott Dongdaemun Square Grand Ballroom in Seoul on the 12th, Choi Woo-shik explained the reason for choosing this production, saying, “First of all, I liked writer Lee Na-eun‘s writing. I knew how charming her writing was because I had worked with her on a previous project.“ The script for ‘Melo Movie’ was written by Lee Na-eun, who wrote SBS‘That Year, Us’, in which Choi Woo-shik starred.

Choi Woo-shik added, “In every interview I’ve done, I‘ve always said that I wanted to go to a site where I could happily enjoy the process of growing up, and this project was exactly that. I’ve heard so many people say that the production staff and actors I work with are all good people, so I thought I‘d be happy if we worked together.”

He also explained the character Go Gyeom, which he played in the drama. “Choi Woong, who I played in ‘That Year, Us’, was an introvert, but the Go Gyeom I’m playing this time is an extrovert and outgoing. He‘s a character with a capital E (MBTI) personality who knows how to ask for help when he’s having a hard time,“ and “He‘s also a ‘man who doesn’t give up” who consistently goes straight to the person he likes.”
