Jung Hae In plays Choi Seung Hyo, who has a close friendship with Bae Seok Ryu (Jung Soo Min) since childhood. On their journey of growing up, with many ups and downs and separations, they meet again and realize that their feelings for each other have always been silent and strong.
Despite expectations, Jung Hae In and his co-star Jung Soo Min were not highly rated for their acting, their interactions were still disjointed on the basis of an old, boring script. On many film forums, audiences said that they did not see the connection of a deeply in love couple between Jung Hae In and Jung Soo Min.
During his career, Jung Hae In has participated in many psychological and romantic film projects, but up to now, "Pretty Noona Who Buys Me Food" (original title: Something in the Rain) released in 2018 is considered the most explosive work, "making waves" across Asian screens.
The age-gap love story filled with intimate, hot scenes (especially the last episodes) makes Son Ye Jin Jung Hae In's sweetest and most compatible co-star on the small screen.
When “Pretty Noona Who Buys Me Food” aired, all forums were flooded with information about the suspicion of “fake love, real love” between Jung Hae In and Son Ye Jin. They had such chemistry and “stormed” the screen that, after the show ended, information about the relationship between Son Ye Jin and Jung Hae In was still of particular interest.
In the new drama "Love Next Door" there is also a line where Jung Hae In mentions Son Ye Jin. When the female lead says, "I cook for you like a pretty girl who buys me delicious food," Jung Hae In replies, "Don't mention Son Ye Jin like that."
At the 2020 Baeksang Awards, during the break, the Korean media made a big splash after capturing images of Jung Hae In greeting Son Ye Jin - while she was looking in the mirror, fixing her appearance.
The image of the 1988-born actor patiently waiting for his former co-star to look in the mirror, reapply makeup, and then talk made fans happy.
Even Hyun Bin (current husband of Son Ye Jin) once expressed his "attitude" when mentioning the movie "Pretty Noona Who Buys Me Food".
During a joint interview promoting the movie "Crash Landing on You", the MC asked Son Ye Jin: "Why do you get caught up in dating rumors with your co-stars every time you act in a movie?" Son Ye Jin said she didn't do it on purpose and didn't understand why every time she finished filming a movie, she got caught up in dating rumors.
The MC immediately mentioned the movie “Pretty Noona Who Buys Me Food” and the rumors about the relationship between Son Ye Jin and Jung Hae In. At this time, Hyun Bin sitting next to him showed an unhappy face, he even turned away and said: “Ah, that movie huh...”.
This detail caused a stir among fans, many people thought that it was Hyun Bin's way of showing his "jealousy" and teasing Son Ye Jin. The majority of fans of this couple affirmed that this was a "sign" that Hyun Bin had feelings for Son Ye Jin long before they announced their relationship and marriage.
The way Hyun Bin talks about the movie also shows that he has watched "Pretty Noona Who Buys Me Food" and knows how romantic and sweet this movie is.
