Won Tae-min revealed the reason why he appeared in 'Unintentional Love Story'.
On the 16th, a press conference for the TV drama 'Unintentional Love Story' was held at Leica Cinema in Yeonhui-dong, Seoul. Director Jang Eui-soon and actors Gong Chan, Won Tae-min, and Do-woo attended.
Gong Chan plays Ji Won-yeong, an employee in the general affairs department of a large company who must win the heart of Tae-joon Yoon (played by Seo-won Cha), the chairman's favorite artist, in order to be reinstated. Ji Won-young has a bright nature and likes to help people, so she is a ‘core person’ who always has people around her. Cha Seo-won plays the role of Yoon Tae-jun, a genius potter who disappeared as if erased from the world. Taejun Yoon is a man of few words and appears harsh at first glance, but deep inside he is kind.
Do-woo appears as Kim Dong-hee, the owner of a handsome cafe. Kim Dong-hee reunites with her long-time first love, who was her childhood friend, and shows off their fiery chemistry. Won Tae-min played the role of Go Ho-tae, Kim Dong-hee's childhood friend.
Won Tae-min said, “BL is my second. The production company contacted me. I read the entire work, and I found Ho-tae attractive. There were similar aspects to me and different aspects. “It was a project I really wanted to do, so it was more fun and enjoyable to film,” he said about his reason for appearing.
Won Tae-min said, “I thought fans of the original webtoon would want a high synchronization rate, so I paid attention to that.” He added, “Ho-tae has tattoos and is rough, but he is a man who is more pure and straight-forward than anyone else. “I tried to express that kind of appearance,” he said.
Won Tae-min said, “The BL genre is unfamiliar, but LOVE is the same. I tried to do it without hesitation as much as possible. We all met up at Seowon's brother's house, had drinks and became friends. We became friends even before filming. “While filming, I didn’t think about that much, but thought about the feelings of love and had fun filming.”
‘Unintentional Love Story’ is a heart-pounding romance drama that restores trust and tells the story of two men who fall in real love in a relationship that started with a lie. It will be released for the first time at 12 noon on the 17th.
