Ko Dong-ha, a child actor who worked with Choi Ji-woo on mother and child, told the behind-the-scenes story of the shooting.
On the afternoon of the 15th, a press distribution preview of the movie "Sugar" (director Choi Shin-chun) was held at the entrance of Lotte Cinema Konkuk University in Gwangjin-gu, Seoul. Actors Choi Ji-woo, Min Jin-woong, Ko Dong-ha and director Choi Shin-chun attended the press conference after the premiere.
When asked about his chemistry with a child actor, Choi Ji-woo said, "Since I'm a real mother, I was more touched while filming with my child. When filming, it was different from what it is now. The child grew up a lot. Even when I was filming, I felt emotional and heartbroken just by looking at my expressions and things like that like a baby, he said. "Rather than thinking about what to do more, just looking at it made me think, 'What if that child was sick?' and naturally connected with my child. Even if I don't try hard, I naturally feel that way," he said.
Ko Dong-ha, who played as Choi Ji-woo's son, said, "(Choi Ji-woo) treated me like a real mother at the scene. At the end of the movie, there is a scene where I express my feelings to my mother. The scene was emotionally difficult, so I was playing the piano in the living room before filming the scene, and my mom came next to me and played the piano together to relieve my tension," he said.
Meanwhile, Choi Ji-woo's first return to the screen in three years and the movie "Sugar," which is drawing attention due to its dramatic acting transformation, will be released on January 21.
