Although it is a familiar genre, the ‘Kim Movie’ she played in the drama was completely different from the romance genre characters she had appeared in so far. Unlike her previous works where she showed off her lovable charm to the fullest, she completed the character who hates movies but becomes a movie director with a prickly and cynical charm. Park Bo-young, whom we met in Jongno-gu, Seoul on the 18th, said, “As someone who‘s always known for my bright image, this was a project that I really wanted to challenge myself with.”

In this production, she acted with Choi Woo-shik for the first time, who played Go Gyeom, a film fanatic who became a film critic. She said it was her first time acting with a ”friend of the same age,“ and laughed, saying, ”So I was really wary at first, but we felt comfortable after having a meal together.“
”More than anything, (Choi) Woo-shik resembles Go Gyeom in the drama so it was easy to immerse myself in the role. He‘s a friend who treats everyone kindly like Gyeom and has a real ’puppy-like charm.‘“ He’s so cute and funny that he‘s like a ’laugh button‘ to me. We got along well and Woo-shik was just like Go-gyeom to me, so I was able to immerse myself right away.”
Choi Woo-shik previously said, “I learned a lot from Park Bo-young while filming the kiss scene with her.” Park Bo-young was embarrassed by Choi Woo-shik’s reaction, saying, “What could I have taught you?” but then coquettishly replied, “Actually, I have more experience in kissing scenes.”
“You can‘t help but be nervous about kissing scenes. Kissing scenes are so important and have to come out pretty, so we discussed a lot about pretty angles while monitoring with the director. I even advised Woo-shik, ’You have to come out at a pretty angle, no matter what!‘”
O“Your ideal type? Good looks are the best!
Park Bo-young asserted that the worst thing in a relationship is a “disappearing breakup for no reason,” but drew attention by saying that she “can understand” Kim Moo-bi’s choice to fall in love again with Go Gyeom, who had a disappearing breakup in the drama.
“Of course, I don’t understand disappearing breaks, but if you really meet the other person as if by fate, wouldn’t it be possible? Of course, it wouldn’t be possible if the other person isn’t as good as Go Gyeom.”
In particular, he had long answered “someone with a healthy mind” when asked about his ideal type, but now he playfully laughed and said, “Being good-looking is the best.”
“In the past, I often thought I was unstable, so I often said that I liked someone with a healthy mind, which was the opposite of me. But now I’m really healthy. “Because I am healthy, I am confident that we can move forward together even if the other person is a little anxious.”
