Im Soo-jung reveals behind-the-scenes story of the 'I'm Sorry, I Love You' poster… "It was a photo taken while waiting during filming."
Actress Im Soo-jung shared the behind-the-scenes story of the iconic poster for the 2004 KBS 2TV drama 'I'm Sorry, I Love You' (hereinafter 'Misa').
Im Soo-jung expressed her thoughts on the recent resurgence of popularity for 'Misa' while appearing on the YouTube variety show 'Salon Drip 2', which was released on the 29th, saying, "It's a drama from 21 years ago, and I'm grateful that it's being loved again. I'm so happy to hear that the MZ and Z generations are watching it."
Recalling the explosive popularity of the drama that even coined the term 'Misa loser', Im Soo-jung said, "Twenty years ago, the term 'Misa loser' didn't feel real. I was bewildered and wanted to hide," and added, "I never expected it would be talked about again, but I'm truly happy that people still love it."
In particular, she drew attention by revealing the behind-the-scenes story of the iconic 'Misa' poster. Wearing a legendary rainbow knit, Im Soo-jung explained, "In fact, it wasn't a poster, but a still shot taken on set. The photo was taken while I was squatting and waiting for the director's guidance with So Ji-sub, and since the scene looking at the director looked pretty, it became a poster."
Im Soo-jung played the role of Song Eun-chae, showcasing a poignant melodrama with So Ji-sub, who portrayed Cha Mu-hyuk. The rainbow knit and UGG boots that Im Soo-jung wore at the time led the trends of the early 2000s, and So Ji-sub's famous line, "Do you want to eat with me or die?" is still being referenced today.
Im Soo-jung also shared her candid thoughts on the lines from that time. She recalled, "At first, when I saw Cha Mu-hyuk's lines, I thought, 'What kind of line is this?' but I was surprised to see So Ji-sub raising the emotions while acting," and added, "At that moment, I felt, 'This character really likes me a lot,' and it made me sad."
A masterpiece shows that it is loved again over time. Im Soo-jung also remembers 'Misa' and that time with unchanged sincerity.
