Age Akaso and Kang Hye-won, Korean and Japanese youth actors, met on "Love at First Taste."
At 2 p.m. on the 6th, a production presentation for the Japanese TV TOKYO drama Premier 23 "Love at First Bite" was held at the St. Grammall Room in D-Cube City, Gyeongin-ro, Guro-gu, Seoul. Age Akaso and Kang Hye-won attended.
Age Akaso said it was his fourth visit to Korea, as he visited Korea with "love at first bite." He said, "I came to Korea to promote other works besides fan meetings. I think Korea has a very good culture of entertaining someone. They even gave me a present. I think the spirit of service is excellent and it is warm when I treat people," he said.
When asked what part of Korean culture attracts him, he said, "The rice I ate yesterday was delicious," smiling, "The pork belly was delicious, but the rice was very sweet, chewy and delicious."
Recently, a number of Korean-Japanese joint dramas have been produced. Age Akaso responded, "I think it is because OTT such as Netflix has emerged that has become a bridge in this phenomenon. I can see works that have been aired in Korea in Japan, and I think it's a good thing to make works across borders."
When asked about his favorite Korean work, Age Akaso replied, "I've been watching 'Voice' recently, and I think it's a really great work."
"Love at First Taste" is a pure love story that conveys the sincerity of Hase Taiga and Park Lin, who are confused by differences in cultures and values between Japan and Korea but are attracted to each other.
Age Akaso plays Hase Taiga, a promising marathon ace in the play but lethargic after frustration. Kang Hye-won played the role of Park Lin, a character who lives faithfully every day while conflicting between real life and future dreams in her study abroad life to learn animation.
"Love at First Taste" will air every Monday at 11:06 p.m. from the 12th, and will be released simultaneously on Netflix.
