Lovestruck in the City​ Makes a Successful Debut at the Toronto ‍International Film Festival

The official ⁣screening of the movie ‘Lovestruck in the City’ was a great success ⁢with the Q&A session with director Lee‍ Eun-hee, Kim Go-eun, and Noh Sang-hyun.

‘Lovestruck in the‌ City’ is a ⁢film about the love⁤ between Jae-hee (Kim Go-eun), a free spirit, and Heung-soo (Noh Sang-hyun), who is used to keeping his distance from the world, as they ⁣live together and enjoy their unique love. It is based on​ the 2019 novel of the same ⁣name by ‍Park Sang-young.

The film was first revealed to movie fans around the world through a world ⁤premiere at the Royal Alexandra Theatre on the 13th (local time). The excitement that filled the 1,100-seat auditorium ​was a ⁣testament to the interest in the film. Director Lee Eun-hee, Kim Go-eun, and ⁣Noh Sang-hyun attended the Q&A session held on the 13th and 14th and talked with ⁢global movie fans.

Kim⁢ Go-eun said, “As you delve into the character’s inner ​self, there‍ are many​ vulnerable aspects and wounds. I think I was really drawn to Jae-hee’s actions in order to hide those things. I thought⁢ I wanted to⁤ express it‌ well myself,”​ revealing the reason she took on the role of Jae-hee.

Noh Sang-hyun ⁣said,⁣ “The process of how ‍Heung-soo’s shortcomings are overcome with courage after meeting Jae-hee was⁢ interesting. The script was also written honestly, plainly, and charmingly, which drew me in.”

Regarding the differences from ⁤the original work, the director explained, “Unlike the⁣ original novel, I adapted ‍it in a way that ⁤shows Jae-hee and Heung-soo living their ⁢own lives in a⁢ balanced way ⁢when they look at each other.”

The movie ‘Lovestruck in⁣ the City’ will be released in theaters on October 1st.
