The movie "Sold out on you" tells the story of Matthew Lee (Ahn Hyo Seop) - CEO of a production farm, and also a researcher at a cosmetic ingredient company. The character is entangled in a complex relationship with Dam Ye Jin (Chae Won Bin) - a famous TV sales MC.
Sharing about the work, Ahn Hyo Seop said that he was attracted by the gentle colors of the script. "After emotional projects, this film brings a comfortable feeling. This is a everyday story, without villains.
To prepare for the role, the actor spent time learning to drive a tractor to realistically recreate rural life. He said he wanted to "really live like a farmer", instead of just appearing on screen.
Director Ahn Jong Yeon describes the work as a "healing film", in which relaxation is the core element. He also expects Ahn Hyo Seop to bring a new image by exploiting the humorous aspect alongside his serious roles before.
Besides, Kim Bum is noticed when playing Eric Seo. This is the first time he has tried his hand at the romantic comedy genre after 20 years of activity. The actor said he was once hesitant about this genre, but the script helped him find a way to portray the character naturally and vividly.
Eric Seo is built as a person who lives without goals, until he meets Ye Jin and gradually realizes the meaning of life. This character line is expected to add emotional depth to the story.
According to Ahn Hyo Seop, both Matthew and Ye Jin are busy and stressful people. Their meeting became a rare moment of silence. "The film wants to send the audience the message that sometimes, allowing yourself to rest is also necessary" - he shared.
“Sold out on you” is scheduled to be released on April 22.
