Jung Woo Sung shares insight on acquiring 'Tell Me That You Love Me' rights 13 years ago

AKP STAFF

The production presentation for the Genie TV original series 'Tell Me That You Love Me' was held on the afternoon of the 27th at the Stanford Hotel's Grand Ballroom in Sangam, Mapo-gu, Seoul. The event was graced by the presence of Director Kim Yoon Jin, along with actors Jung Woo Sung and Shin Hyun Bin.

This series, 'Tell Me That You Love Me,' is a timeless melodrama that delves into the quiet love between the characters Cha Jin Woo, a painter who communicates through his art, portrayed by Jung Woo Sung, and Jung Mo Eun, an actress who understands with her heart, played by Shin Hyun Bin.

Based on the 1995 mega-hit Japanese TV drama 'Tell Me That You Love Me' (script by Eriko Kitakawa, produced by TBS Television), the series is especially meaningful to Jung Woo Sung, who acquired the rights to 'Tell Me That You Love Me' 13 years ago and also serves as both producer and leading actor.

Jung Woo Sung shared insights into his long-standing connection with the drama, acknowledging his initial hesitations in the creative process. He recalled considering the challenges of the drama's acceptance in the contemporary media landscape, especially regarding the use of subtitles. However, he noted that perceptions have since shifted, and subtitles have become widely accepted.

Highlighting the evolution in societal awareness and media consumption, Jung Woo Sung sees this as an opportune moment to introduce the character 'Cha Jin Woo' and the themes the series represents, particularly for audiences who are more accustomed to subtitled content.

He expressed a desire for the series to challenge preconceptions, not just about those with hearing impairments but also concerning broader disabilities.

Jung Woo Sung remarked on the original drama's impact narration, which spurred him to act boldly. He found learning and acting through sign language both enjoyable and challenging due to its nuanced nature.

He reflected on the broader implications of communication and pondered the depth of love that his character could convey at this stage in his life, different from who he was 13 years ago.

The series 'Tell Me That You Love Me' made its debut on Genie TV and ENA at 9 p.m. on the 27th.
