It is a romance that recalls memories of first love, where two people meet by chance after a long absence, become entangled as if by fate, and fall in love again.
Director Song Hyun-wook, who has shown his sensual and detailed direction in films such as "The Future I Loved," and up-and-coming writer Baggro have teamed up to create
The two get along well and create a thrilling story that deals with subtlety. Director Song Hyun-wook, who smiled when he first read the script, said, "It's a familiar story of first love, but I felt that 'Coincidence' was a good fit for me."
"It's like a tickling thrill at the same time," he said, adding, "The two meet again for the first time in 10 years, and countless coincidences pile up and intertwine like fate. 'What is the meaning of all this?
"It's a story that seeks the answer to the question, 'Was it a coincidence?'" Park Gul, the writer, emphasized that it is a common story around us, said, "It's the most realistic story that everyone has imagined at least once.
I think it's a realistic fantasy. First love is a memory that everyone has, and coincidences are miracles that happen here and there in our daily lives, so I think the viewers will be excited and thrilled along with the drama.
He emphasized the uniqueness of the film by saying, "Maybe it's a coincidence." Expectations are also high for director Song Hyun-wook's special, delicate direction, which summons memories of first love by traveling between the past and present.
Director Song Hyun-wook said, "I tried hard to portray the characters from 10 years ago and 10 years into the future. I tried to portray them in a way that was full of energy and appropriate to the times, from their looks, gaze, tone of voice, and emotions."
"I took great care to create a character with a unique personality," he continued. "I differentiated between the warm and innocent colors used for her school days and the cool and cheerful colors used for her current life," he added.
Writer Park Gul also made an effort to express the changes in Lee Hong-ju and Kang Hoo-young, who reunited as 29-year-old men and women, rather than as 19-year-old boys and girls.
The writer said, "I thought it was important to delicately depict the emotions of the characters who experience these unexpected moments and to incorporate the fun of the original work that thrilled the viewers."
I worked hard to come up with a way to effectively portray the diverse changes in emotions that the two characters experience as they accidentally meet and fall in love, and become aware of their feelings."
The pairing of Kim Seohyun and Choi Jeong Hyup, who reunite after 10 years and relive their memories of first love, is also not to be missed.
Director Song Hyun-wook said he was looking for an actor who could express both the freshness of a teenager and the youth of a man in his late twenties.
"The interaction between actor Kim Seohyun and actor Choi Jeong-hyeop is a work of art," he said, expressing his special affection for the two. Writer Park Geo-ra also expressed his appreciation for the interaction between actor Kim Seohyun and actor Choi Ji-hyeop, saying, "The interaction between actor Kim Seohyun and actor Choi Ji-hyeop is a work of art."
"The synchronization rate of the characters that actor Yeon Hyup completed was so high that it was amazing and exciting," he said, raising expectations. Finally, director Song Hyun Wook said, "Hong Joo and Huh Joo, who met by chance for the first time in 10 years,
I would like viewers to focus on Yeong's fate and the unspoken secret between the two of them from 10 years ago. It would be even more interesting if viewers could speculate on what Hong-joo and Hoo-young are like to each other and how their relationship will change in the future.
Writer Park Gu-ra said, "After returning to Korea for the first time in 10 years, Hoo-young meets his first love Hong-joo by chance. The two of them face repeated coincidences and slowly become one.
"I hope you'll be watching to see what kind of choices they make," he said, adding, "It will be a uniquely fun experience to piece together the memories of Hong Joo and Hoo Young's first love as they move between their 19 and 29 years old versions."
"You will be able to see it for yourself," he said, raising expectations for the first broadcast. Meanwhile, tvN's new Monday-Tuesday TV series "Is It a Coincidence?" will premiere in Korea on the 22nd at 8:40 pm.
