“I was drawn to the story because it’s a story of youth and sends a positive message to [young viewers],” Suho said during a media conference held at Lotte Cinema in Gwangjin-gu, Seoul.

The comedy film intends to take a closer look at young people struggling to start their own businesses. Ha-neul and his friend Bo-ra (Kim Seul-gi) enthusiastically try to establish their business but as they continue to fail in making the final product, they struggle to hold onto their lab and their project. They are about to be evicted by the landlord.

Then, one day, Ha-neul encounters mysterious man, Sang-goo (Shin Ha-kyun), who claims he leapt through time from 1969 and is the original owner of Ha-neul's lab. His presence helps the young entrepreneurs turn the tide.

Suho and Shin both said they enjoyed working on the film and with each other, even if it was for a short period of time.

“I’m a big fan of Shin and when I heard that he would be in the film, I got very excited,” Suho said.

Shin said Suho “is full of energy and such a positive, hard-working person” to work with. He added that he would like to work with Suho again on a longer project.

The film is directed by Hur Jin-ho, who has a huge reputation for directing melodrama and romance films. He has directed numerous award-winning romance films, including Christmas in August (1998), One Fine Spring Day (2001), and Dangerous Liaisons (2012).

The director said: “This was an opportunity to try a new genre, and I really had so much fun working on this.”

The film is based on a real start-up – Team Ignis, a group of people who invented thermal imaging cameras for firefighters.

“After I was offered to make a film about young start-up entrepreneurs, I found the story about ‘Team Ignis’ which helped firefighters with their invention,” Hur said.

The actors said they were honoured to work with such a recognised director. Shin said he has known Hur for almost 20 years and is glad to finally get to work with him for the first time.

Suho also said he was thrilled to work with the director, as he has enjoyed Hur's films since he was young. “My parents are also huge fans of Hur, so they were very excited for me when they heard I'd be in one of his movies,” he said.

The film was released October 28, 2019, and is available to watch through online streaming platforms, including the film’s sponsor, Samsung Electronics’ social media accounts.
