Min Jin-woong shared his thoughts on acting as an 11-year age gap couple with Choi Ji-woo.
On the 18th, at CGV Yongsan I'Park Mall in Seoul, a production report was held for the film "Sugar" (director Choi Shin-chun, distributor Studio Target Co., Ltd. Sam Baek Sanghoe Co., Ltd., produced by Horangi Giun, Message Film Co., Ltd.). Actors Choi Ji-woo, Min Jin-woong and Go Dong-ha attended the event. Director Choi Shin-chun suddenly announced his absence due to personal reasons.
The film "Sugar" is a human drama that tells the miraculous story of a mother who, struggling to save her young son diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, ultimately changes the world.
Melodrama queen Choi Ji-woo plays a strong mother who fights the world's prejudices to protect her child, delivering the hottest acting transformation of her filmography. Joining her are the solid acting skills of Min Jin-woong and the pure charm of child actor Go Dong-ha, completing a perfect acting ensemble.
Min Jin-woong and Choi Ji-woo actually have an 11-year age difference. When asked about their chemistry as an "age-gap" couple, Choi Ji-woo said, "I didn't really feel that way. First of all, the actor made the set fun, and his back-and-forth with the child was 'pish' and funny. The set wasn't awkward. It felt natural, and everything went smoothly during filming."
Min Jin-woong also replied, "I only just realized (the age difference) after hearing that. It was an incomparable honor to work with a senior who had been one pillar of melodrama. It was not difficult at all. I don't think we had any concerns regarding that (the age difference), and the work went well," adding, "She gave such a great performance that shows what maternal love is," showing warmth.
Min Jin-woong also spoke about his chemistry with Go Dong-ha, who plays the son, saying, "I learned a lot from Dong-ha. I learned slang that elementary school students used a lot at the time. We needed sticker photos as props, so after filming I took the time to take some and we shared them. I still stick them at home like family photos, and I sometimes look at them, laugh and reminisce."
