Melo Movie: Park Bo Young chooses her favourite co-star from the Wooga Squad

On the morning of February 12, the cast and crew of Netflix’s upcoming original series Melo Movie convened for a press conference at the JW Marriott Dongdaemun Square in Jongno-gu, Seoul. Director Oh Choong Hwan, writer Lee Na Eun, and leading performers Choi Woo Shik, Park Bo Young, Lee Jun Young, and Jeon So Nee were all present for the event.

The connection between Choi Woo Shik and Park Bo Young, who are adored for their friendship, was the highlight of the press conference. In Melo Movie, Park Bo Young plays budding filmmaker Kim Mu Bi, while Choi Woo Shik plays Ko Gyeom, a well-known film critic with a keen mind and intense emotions.

Park Bo Young was inevitably questioned about her experience working with another member of the adored Wooga Squad, since she had previously worked with Choi Woo Shik’s close friends Park Seo Joon and Park Hyung Sik. Choi Woo Shik interrupted her to offer sincere admiration for his co-star before she could respond. He claimed that he had worked with Park Bo Young and had firsthand experience of her warmth and friendliness, which are much respected. He revealed that she was really helpful on set, not just taking care of him but also assisting him in maintaining emotional equilibrium during filming.

Park Bo Young went on to express her love for Choi Woo Shik, calling him her “laugher button.” She clarified that just gazing at him would lift her spirits whenever she was feeling low. “Among them, Woo Shik is the only one who is the same age as me. Acting with someone my age made me realize how comfortable it can be. I liked all three, but I felt most at ease with Woo Shik, so I think we had the best chemistry”, as reported by Kbizoom.

Melo Movie is a romantic drama that explores love, dreams, and personal development through the lives of indecisive youngsters. The characters develop strong and lasting bonds as they support and inspire one another as they face their personal experiences. The series is directed by Oh Choong Hwan, who is well-known for his work on the fantasy blockbuster Hotel Del Luna. Lee Na Eun, the author of Our Beloved Summer, wrote the script, which promises to be a poignant and emotionally charged tale.
