Jeon Do-yeon on Reuniting with Zo In-sung After 24 Years in 'Possible Love': "He Had the Same Worries as Me"

Actor Jeon Do-yeon spoke about her special connection with junior actor Zo In-sung, whom she reunited with after 24 years through the film "Possible Love."

Attending an interview for the film "Possible Love" held at a cafe in Samcheong-dong, Seoul, on the afternoon of November 9, Jeon Do-yeon shared, "It was my first time meeting Zo In-sung since the SBS drama 'Shooting the Star' (2002). In fact, we hadn't even crossed paths in private settings all this time. Because it had been so long since we met, I wondered what he would be like now, but during our meeting, I felt a deep sense of kinship and connection seeing that he was dealing with worries similar to mine."

The "similar worries" Jeon Do-yeon mentioned were about their goals, career paths, and directions as actors. Jeon Do-yeon said, "Both In-sung and I have been doing this work for a long time and have done many projects, but we are both worrying about what kind of projects and what kind of acting we should pursue moving forward, and what things we might have to let go of." She added, "Because it's a concern about myself as the actor Jeon Do-yeon, I don't share those thoughts with anyone. But while talking with In-sung, I realized he was also having these worries. He asked me, 'How about you, Noona?' Honestly, I didn't think an actor like Zo In-sung would have concerns like that. So I felt grateful and glad that we shared the same worries. It made me feel, 'I'm not the only one worrying about this.'"

Although it was their first reunion in 24 years, the set was filled with synergy stemming from their mutual maturity and experience. Jeon Do-yeon expressed her gratitude, saying, "Zo In-sung and Cho Yeo-jeong always warmed up the set with their bright energy. I have worked together with Sul Kyung-gu for such a long time, and because he is a quiet person, the two actors were a huge source of strength and comfort on set."

Jeon Do-yeon smiled and said, "All four actors were considerate of each other during filming. We tried to look out for even the smallest things and complimented one another. In-sung also initially said, 'Noona, why are you doing this?' but later on, he said, 'Please praise me more.'"

"Possible Love" tells the story of two married couples—a laid-off worker and his wife, and a documentary director and her husband—who meet for the production of a documentary and confront their different lives and hidden desires. It is director Lee Chang-dong's first new work in eight years. In the film, Jeon Do-yeon stars as Mi-ok, the wife of the laid-off worker, while Zo In-sung plays Sang-woo, the husband of documentary director Ye-ji.

The film was released worldwide on Netflix on November 6.
