Jihoon Kim "I wanted to show chemistry with Taeoh Yoo that goes beyond bromance."

Kim Ji-hoon said that the setting that broke the cliche of 'Love Battle' was refreshing.

On the 7th, a production presentation for the Netflix series 'Love Battle' was held at CGV Yongsan I'Park Mall in Hangang-ro-dong, Seoul. Director Kim Jeong-kwon and actors Kim Ok-bin, Yoo Teo, and Kim Ji-hoon attended.

Kim Ok-bin played the role of bold lawyer Yeo Mi-ran. Teo Yoo played Nam Kang-ho, a top actor representing Korea. Kim Ji-hoon played the role of Nam Kang-ho's management representative, Do Won-jun.

Regarding his role as Do Won-jun, Kim Ji-hoon said, “Compared to the two characters, he is an ordinary person. He debuted as an actor when he was young, but he had no talent for acting, so he changed his career path and is now the manager of Nam Kang-ho, the best actor in Korea. “He is a close friend who knows everything about Nam Kang-ho’s trauma with women,” he explained. When he learned that he couldn't act in the play, he said, "Fortunately, I realized it at an early age, and although it can be difficult, I quickly changed my career path," making people laugh.

Jihoon Kim said, “The fresh settings that broke the cliches of the existing romantic comedy genre were fun. Usually in romantic comedies, there are many obvious but interesting female protagonists such as Candy and Cinderella, but the character Yeo Mi loves more actively and enterprisingly than anyone else and is stronger than anyone else. He revealed his reason for appearing, saying, “I have stronger fighting power than any other romantic comedy protagonist.” He continued, “These days, increasing women’s authority is a concern for people in their 20s and 30s. However, I felt that there were not many dramas that kept pace with the times, but I thought 'Love Battle' was a drama that contained a timely theme and featured such protagonists. “I am confident that many people will sympathize with this,” he said.

'Love Battle' is a romantic comedy about a woman who pathologically hates losing to a man and a man who is pathologically suspicious of women, and are healed through a war-like love. It will be released on the 10th.
