As for the reason for choosing 'MeloMovie', Choi Woo-Sik said, "I liked the experience I had with the writer in his previous work, so I naturally looked at the script again. I was greedy because it was a warm message."




He must have felt a lot of pressure because he played the melodrama genre in the drama `That Year.' In response, he said "Fortunately, the characters of the two works were different. He emphasized the difference, saying that Choi Woong in `That Year We Are' was an introvert and wary personality, while Go-gyeom is a person who goes straight and only looks at one woman.

Choi Woo-sik worked with Park Bo-young for the first time in this work. He said "It was my first time acting with an actor of the same age, so it was comfortable and enjoyable"I learned a lot because actor Park Bo-young is a good actor in the romance genre."

He also mentioned the burden of acting emotionally. He said "In the Rocco genre, it's important to keep the emotional line. The chemistry with the other person has to make a dramatic moment, but it's harder because it's not an effort alone", he explained.
