"Because we're not all the same people, we have our own differences, but we're not always respected. I think it's a movie that captures the process of growth until I think about whether I can express my difference in the right way. It is a very precious work that depicts the growing pains and trials and errors of ordinary life."an actor who always seems to be in harmony with a character
Kim Go-eun was reborn as a character in the play through the new movie 'The Big City's Love Act'. The "Loving Method in the Large City" he chose is a work about Jae-hee (Kim Go-eun) of a free spirit who does not look at or calculate, and Heung-soo (Roh Sang-hyun), an LGBTQ person who is familiar with how to distance himself from the world, share their own love methods.
The film, which dealt with growth, reflection, love and friendship in a witty and lively manner, raised expectations of audiences by delivering good news of being invited to the Toronto International Film Festival before its release in Korea, and drew favorable reviews from domestic critics through media distribution previews.
Today (30th), YTN had an interview with actor Kim Go-eun in Samcheong-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul, and had a time to talk about various things related to the movie.
Kim Go-eun, who responded to the casting with the hope that the movie would be produced as soon as she read the scenario, said, "There were various stories in the 13-year narrative of Jae-hee and Heung-soo. "There are so many people in the world who live in so many different identities and different ways, and I liked it because it was a work about respect for differences and the process of growth to express differences."

He said, "I think I was invited to the Toronto International Film Festival because the story and message contained in the film itself were good. The memory of being with 1,200 audiences at that time remains a fascinating experience, and I hope that Korean audiences will respond similarly," he said with a smile.
He then said, "It's youth that everyone goes through, but I don't think there are only beautiful and good sides. There are moments when you have to do it and overcome it after an anxious and incomplete period, but the "Loving Law in the Large City" seems to tell you, "It's okay because everyone goes through it," he said, adding that the movie is a work that can help the average majority. In the
play, Jae-hee is more free and free-spirited than anyone else, but confident and slick in everything. What does Kim Go-eun's personality look like? Kim Go-eun said, "I haven't played as freely as Jae-hee, but I think the process of struggling and going through trial and error in my early 20s is similar. I also think I spent a time expressing myself well and finding a way and direction to live well."

From college students to office workers, the movie shows Jae-hee's growth and asks questions about her true "me." What is "me-ness" as an actor and human being Kim Go-eun? In response, he said, "I think I look like myself when I'm at my most comfortable state. Therefore, whenever I act or meet people, I try hard to find comfort. At that time, I think I have the original charm that I have," he said.
Kim Go-eun previously won the title of "10 million actor" through the movie "Pillow," and did not forget her honest desire for the movie's success. He said, "I think 'The Love Act of the City' is a movie where you can come out of the theater with a good heart from deep down," adding, "It's a really fun work with laughter, joy, so I hope a lot of viewers will pay attention to it."
The movie "The Law of Love in the City," starring Kim Go-eun, is set to be released in theaters on the 1st.
