In the upcoming episode of the SBS Friday-Saturday drama 'Our Movie' (written by Han Ga-eun and Kang Kyung-min, directed by Lee Jung-heum), the scene of director Lee Je-ha (played by Namkoong Min) and actress Lee Da-eum (played by Jeon Yeo-been) conducting test filming for the movie 'White Love' will be revealed.
Currently, Lee Je-ha has taken up the director's baton for the remake of 'White Love' after persistent persuasion by producer Boo Seung-won (played by Seo Hyun-woo). Despite being a globally acclaimed director, Lee Je-ha has always harbored a cynical view of his father, director Lee Du-young, who was a terrible father. The world, however, remembers him only as the son of a maestro. In an attempt to step out of his father's shadow, Lee Je-ha chooses to boldly remake 'White Love,' signaling a significant shift in his artistic journey.
Along the way, Lee Je-ha forms a connection with Lee Da-eum, who is living on borrowed time, during the script adaptation process. This meeting inspires a new direction for the film. Especially when Lee Da-eum, who was already pre-selected for the lead role, unexpectedly shows up at the audition, surprising Lee Je-ha. The director finds Lee Da-eum's perfect fit for the role and her passion irresistible. However, convincing everyone involved to cast her as the lead is a challenge since filmmaking is a team effort.
Photos released on the 20th show Lee Je-ha and Lee Da-eum embarking on the test filming for 'White Love,' sparking interest. Director Lee Je-ha, making a comeback after five years, seamlessly blends into the filming set as if no time has passed. Meanwhile, Lee Da-eum, transitioning from a newcomer to a leading role, shows signs of nervousness but also a deep immersion in her character. The addition of veteran actress Chae Seo-young (played by Lee Sul) completes the perfect setup for 'White Love.'
Most importantly, this test filming session is a mission to showcase not only director Lee Je-ha's capabilities but also newcomer actress Lee Da-eum's potential, convincing investors in the process. Facing the risk of production cancellation, Lee Je-ha is determined to approach this test filming with the same dedication as the actual shoot. The outcome of this first major test for Lee Je-ha and Lee Da-eum is eagerly awaited.
The first synergy between director Namkoong Min and actress Jeon Yeo-been will be unveiled in the third episode of 'Our Movie,' airing at 9:50 PM on the 20th.
