The highly anticipated thriller film, Remember, is confirmed to stream on iQIYI this year. Starring Lee Sung Min and Nam Joo Hyuk, the film is directed by Lee Il Hyung, the former director of A Violent Prosecutor (2016). The all-star credits roll doesn’t just end here–Remember is produced by Yoon Jong Bin, who also produced blockbusters such as Nameless Gangster (2012), Kundo (2014), and The Spy Gone North (2018) with production house Moonlight Pictures, who are the ones behind the recent hit Korean drama series Narco-Saints (2022). This film, which will plunge audiences into a fast-paced battle of wits, is also a remake of Atom Egoyan’s 2015 film of the same name. Remember tells the story of Pil Joo, played by veteran actor Lee Sung Min, an Alzheimer's patient in his 80s who has vivid memories of the Japanese colonial rule in the early 1900s. As memories of his family who died during the war begin to fade, he becomes determined to devote the rest of his life to getting back at the pro-Japanese troops who killed them with an elaborate plan he formulated for 60 years. He recruits the help of his close friend and co-worker In Gyu (played by Nam Joo Hyuk), who is in his 20s and becomes his partner in the revenge plot. It is not long until In Gyu finds himself in trouble as he becomes the prime suspect of murder after being captured on a security camera at a crime scene. In a race against time and fading memories, Pil Joo attempts revenge while helping to clear In Gyu’s name. Lee Il-Hyung, the director of Remember, shared that the context of the Japanese colonial period has left different impressions on Koreans and has been extensively covered in literature, film and television. “I wanted to portray this period not in a macroscopic view or as a recorded case that can be read in a textbook, but as a way to bridge modern outlook to that period,” he shared. This marks the first collaboration between Lee Sung Min and Nam Joo Hyuk – two renowned actors that have been actively immersing themselves in huge projects in recent years. Lee Sung Min was catapulted into the spotlight with his award-winning performances in popular titles including Golden Time (2012), Misaeng: Incomplete Life (2014), and The Spy Gone North (2018), while Nam Joo Hyuk played the leading role in Who Are You: School 2015 (2015), Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok-Joo (2016), and Start-Up (2021). 

In a time when dreams seem out of reach, a teen fencer pursues big ambitions and meets a hardworking young man who seeks to rebuild his life.

Netflix upcoming Korean series 'Start-Up' starring star-studded cast - Nam Joo Hyuk, Bae Suzy, Kim Seon Ho and Kang Ha Na is set to premiere on 17 October. Set in a sandbox, a fictional Silicon Valley in South Korea, the romantic comedy-drama centers around four young characters passionately pursuing their dreams in the world of the startup companies. 

During the online press conference held yesterday, Director Oh Choong Hwan further explained that the drama series is about "encouraging people who want to grow up or go up as they start out." "It's about love but not just about love. It's about having a vision for your life and working hard for a vision," said director Oh. Check out the highlights of the virtual press conference with Start-Up stars Suzy, Nam Joo Hyuk, Kim Seon Ho and Kang Han-Na. 

Q: What's your first impression upon reading the script and what made you accept the role?

Suzy: I was drawn to the topic of start-ups. It begins with a complex relationship between the characters, which really got me excited. I really looked forward to seeing how the story would unfold. I also wanted to encourage other youths of my age, because that’s the message of this show. It’s a very heartwarming story, which is why I decided to join this project. I worked with director Oh and writer Park Hye Ryun in the past, and hopefully, with this project, we will showcase more exciting chemistry as well. I worked with writer Park Hye Ryun for my first TV drama, and we have a meaningful relationship, so I’m very happy to work with her again, and hopefully this time, as a more mature actress.

Nam Joo Hyuk: When I first read the synopsis of the story, I felt that the character, Do-san was incomplete and lacking in something. So I felt that if I take the role, I could add more and help this character to be more complete. As the story unfolds, he will grow and I wanted to portray that. And personally, I also feel a lot of emotions and feelings in my life, so I saw a sort of overlapping relationship between me and my character. I really wanted to grow together with the character as I played him.

Kim Seon Ho: Well, I think Suzy and Joo-hyuk already mentioned it, but I would explain a little more. When I read the script, there was a lot of excitement. But this show was quite different from others because the characters and their line, including the ending scene of each episode, just compelled me to keep reading on. As I was reading, I felt very comfortable about the story and the characters. Other dramas have a very spicy and juicy storyline, but our drama is very heartwarming and encouraging.

Q: Suzy and Nam Joo Hyuk, how do you feel when you first heard two of you would-be partners? And how would you rate your chemistry?

Nam Joo Hyuk: When I heard I'll be acting with Suzy, because we call our series a youthful coding romance, I thought it would be a great story and I really looked forward to it. (The story also reflects) on something that I could only do at this age and at this time. In the beginning, we didn’t have many scenes together and we had to act separately. At one point when we got to meet and I thought our chemistry was really good. That's also something the director would know about.  

Suzy: When I first heard that he would be my on-screen partner and when I first met him on the set, there was a great energy. He had a lot of great energy as well and that created a lot of synergy for me and between us. Like I said before he was Do-san himself, so thanks to him, I was able to really immerse myself in my role. He’s so bubbly, bright and I think the scenes with both our characters are just bubbly and beautiful. And it makes you want to cheer for them.

Q: Han-na, you changed your physical style and even had a haircut to play the role. Any common traits between you and the character Won In-Jae?

Kang Han-Na: I think I can have a strong resolve once I decided to do something. I think that’s the similarity between me and the character Won In-jae. And once I decided to do something, I will follow through and get it done, so I think this is another common trait between me and Won In-jae. Regarding my hairstyle, when I had a meeting with our director and writer, they suggested that Won In-jae would look better in short hair, so without hesitation, I got a haircut. Won In-jae is an amazing businesswoman but deep down, I feel sympathy towards her. So I hope the audience will be able to relate to that. Won In-jae might look sharp and successful as a businesswoman but I hope people can really cheer for her on her personal happiness.

Q: How do you prepare for your role?

Kim Seon Ho: My character is kind of the epitome of a young, rich, and successful person. So basically my character is about flashing a great watch and showing a nice hairstyle, those are the preparations I did (laughs). And as Han-na mentioned just now, our writer is very thorough, so she also gave me lots of details to refer to for my preparation for the character. I studied them and thought about what kind of speaking style my character will have.

Q: In the drama, there’s a conflict between In-jae and Dal-mi. How was it on set?

Kang Han-na: Yes, in the drama, my relationship with Dal-mi (starring Suzy) is a rival and there is also lots of subtle conflict going on between two of us. But as well all know, Suzy is so lovable and it's very difficult for me to really bring my claws out to the character Dal-mi. On-screen we are sisters that hate each other, but on-set, we have a great friendship and I hope that you can look forward to the chemistry between us.
