Choi Woo Sik has just returned to the screen with the romantic film "Love of Mu Bi" (Melo Movie). In the film, he plays Ko Gyeom - an aspiring actor who became a film critic, and the lover of Kim Mu bee (Park Bo Young) at first sight.
The actor said that he participated in Mu Bis Love because the films screenwriter - Lee Na Eun is also the author of Our beloved Summer - another romantic project in which he starred in 2021.
The beautiful memories of working with Lee Na Eun attracted me to the script. The story is filled with warm emotions. Maybe it doesn't have the glamorous, explosive elements that are popular today, but this is the kind of story I like - depicting relationships filled with humanity and love."
Before comparing his role this time with the previous romantic film, Choi Woo Sik admitted that sometimes he felt pressured.
Because it is both a romantic genre, I have some pressure. However, if Choi Woong in Our Love Summer is an introvert, Go Gyeom in Mu Bis Love is a straightforward, confident and devoted person without hesitation. I want to create a character that can naturally arouse curiosity even in real life.
According to Choi Woo Sik, at the age of 35, he has many changes in his thinking because there are many things to improve and lack.
The biggest difference now is that Im more confident. With each completed project, I feel more confident and think, 'Oh, maybe now I can perform as much.' However, there are still some things I regret.
Before that, after each film, I remember not being able to leave my seat even though the introduction was over because I often thought: I should do better or I could try a little more in that scene. Now looking back, I realize that if you work with too much ambition, you can hold back and do well.
This is also the reason why the star of the movie Parasite is trying to find a balance between ambition and finding happiness as an actor. Currently, I am trying to find a way to make my mind more comfortable. I think I am learning more about how to enjoy and find happiness in this job.
