“At first, actor Kim Yun-jin read the novel during a flight and found it very interesting. So she looked for a production company to create it in Korea, bringing it up to JK Film. And that’s how this project began,” the director said during a press conference for the film at a theater in Yongsan District, Seoul, Wednesday.“When I first got the script, two words came to mind: relationships and growth. The characters each experience a bit of growth from the start to the end. In this process, the most crucial element is the human relationships. Rather than superficial relationships, I wanted to tell a story about people subtly growing within their everyday relationships.”The movie fills its 120 minutes with different breeds of canines, with three of them as the main characters. The director shared he went through a meticulous process to cast the dogs.“The casting process for the dogs involved consultations with professional trainers. We met with various dogs, had auditions with them, and spent a significant amount of time with dog-related social club 카지노사이트킹 members. Then, we finally selected the three friends,” he said.
