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 of his role as Hase Taiga in "Love in the First Bite," "I was a track and field athlete in college and experienced great frustration and started working part-time. He introduced the role of meeting and growing Lin while working part-time."
When I first saw the script of "Love at First Taste," I asked how it felt, "The original Japanese title was 'Gimbap and Onigiri'. I wondered what kind of story this was, but the characters felt lovely and cute. You can meet a character who lives hard."

Age Akaso said, "I think Hye-won must have had difficulties coming to Japan." The culture and words were different, but I thought it was great because Hye-won seemed to have overcome it well. I also wanted to make an interesting scene," he said. He then raised his thumb, saying, "(My teamwork with Kang Hye-won) was the best (psycho)."
In response, Park Kyung-rim was surprised for a moment, saying, "What do you mean by psycho?" and burst into laughter when she heard the meaning of "the best."
"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.
