Actor Lim Soo-jung was touched by the unwavering affection of 'Misa fans.'
Lim Soo-jung appeared on the YouTube entertainment show 'Salon Drip 2,' which was released on the 29th, and expressed her gratitude regarding the resurgence popularity of the 2004 KBS 2TV drama I'm Sorry, I Love You, saying, "I am thankful to be loved again. It's been 21 years since the drama, and it's great to know that the MZ and Gen Z generations are watching it." She smiled brightly.
Reflecting on those times, Lim Soo-jung noted, "20 years ago, I couldn't quite grasp the term 'Misa fans.' I felt bewildered and wanted to hide," adding, "I never expected it would be talked about this long later, but I am really happy to be liked again."
I'm Sorry, I Love You garnered explosive popularity during its broadcast, even creating the catchphrase 'Misa fans.' Lim Soo-jung played the pure character Song Eun-chae, presenting poignant melodrama with So Ji-sub, who portrayed Cha Mu-hyuk. In particular, the rainbow knit and UGG boots worn by Lim Soo-jung led early 2000s trends, and So Ji-sub's memorable line, "Would you like to eat with me, or die?" is still referenced online.
Lim Soo-jung also shared about the poster, saying, "It was not a poster; it was a behind-the-scenes still. It was a photo taken while I was crouching down with So Ji-sub, waiting for the director's direction." She revealed, "We were looking at the director, and I guess that scene looked beautiful."
She continued, "At first, I thought, 'What kind of line is this?' when I saw Cha Mu-hyuk's lines, but I was surprised to see So Ji-sub performing with heightened emotions. At that moment, I felt that 'this character really likes me a lot,' and it struck me as sad."
Masterpieces are loved again over time. And the characters within them also remember that era with warm sincerity.
