Actor Jeon Do-yeon shared her thoughts on seeing Jo Yu-ri, who played the younger version of her character Mi-ok in the film "Possible Love".
Attending an interview for the film "Possible Love" at a cafe in Samcheong-dong, Seoul, on the afternoon of November 9, Jeon Do-yeon said, "When Jo Yu-ri was first cast as 'young Mi-ok,' I asked, 'Why?' That was because, based on her image on screen, I thought she didn't look like me. The director felt that we had a similar vibe and said there was something he caught on screen."
The film features scenes depicting the romance between young Ho-seok and young Mi-ok. These scenes were filmed prior to the shoots involving Sul Kyung-gu and Jeon Do-yeon. Jeon Do-yeon smiled and shared, "They shot the younger actors' portions first, and the director showed us what had been filmed in advance. The scenes the two of them shot were so entertaining. So I asked the director, 'Is our movie allowed to be this fun?'"
Jo Yu-ri, a former member of IZ*ONE, previously delivered an impressive performance in Season 2 of "Squid Game". In "Possible Love", she radiated a different charm by portraying the younger days of Mi-ok, the character played by Jeon Do-yeon.
In a recent interview, director Lee Chang-dong explained the reason behind the casting, noting that Jo Yu-ri was selected through an open audition: "When you scrutinize her features, she doesn't resemble [Jeon Do-yeon] at all, but for some reason, they feel similar in vibe."
"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 to produce a documentary and confront their different lives and hidden desires. Marking director Lee Chang-dong's first new release in eight years, the film was released worldwide on Netflix on November 6.
