(Following interview 1) Director Cho Young-myung of 'That Time' shared behind-the-scenes stories about actor Chin Young's filming.
On the 27th, an interview with director Cho Young-myung of the film 'That Time, the Girl We Loved' (hereafter 'That Time') was held at a cafe in Palpan-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul.
The film 'That Time, the Girl We Loved,' which is based on a Taiwanese movie of the same name (adaptation director Cho Young-myung, provided by Take Film Co., Ltd., produced by Take Film Co., Ltd. and JAYRO Pictures Co., Ltd., distributed by WYSIWYG STUDIOS and CJ CGV), tells the story of 18-year-old 'Jinwoo' (Chin Young), who spends countless days before confessing to 'Seon-ah' (Dahyun).
On that day, when asked about the casting story of actor Chin Young, director Cho noted, "Actor Chin Young has always played impressive roles in previous works. He has been a man, a wealthy heir. He does such cool things, but he also has points that can make him seem clumsy."
He further explained, "In a way, the character Jinwoo has a boyish charm mixed with bravado, and if actor Chin Young can express that point, I thought it might create a synergy beyond what I envisioned."
In particular, director Cho explained about Jinwoo's 'exposure' scene, which showed the biggest differences from the original work. The exposure scenes originally presented by the male protagonist in the source material were significantly reduced, and even the filmed exposure scenes were eventually deleted to control the level of exposure.
Director Cho said, "The relationship between the father (played by Park Seong-woong) and son in the film, and the reason Jinwoo's family appears in the work is that when the boy, Jinwoo, wants to express everything he wants to say and be full of confidence, it is because his family gives him warm love. I wanted to show that this child can be like that."
He added, "I wanted to show that point visually without lengthy explanations. A family-oriented dad wearing an apron without clothes. I wanted to express that the son resembles the father and is undressed at home. Nevertheless, what was edited out was that if there is exposure in the video, it inevitably raises the tension, which seemed unnecessary in the context of the work."
