Nov 30, 2018

According to 아시아 투데이 (Asia Today), during a press conference on the upcoming Encounter (남자 phim) drama project at the Imperial Palace Hotel in Gangnam-gu, Seoul on the 21st, production director Park Shin Woo won the award. The reason he chose Cuba (especially the Malecón, Havana) became the filming location for the first episode of the film. The director shared, "At the previous meeting, we discussed the atmosphere and mood of the main character. I think 'ssom' keeps coming quietly, so I suddenly think of Cuba. "

He continued, "I would like to bring the things that happen around both characters in the field to the screen. Although you do not have the opportunity to visit the real place but you can still see through the film. If you really experience it, you will see their amazing chemical reaction. When I first saw that, I was very proud. "

Park Bo Gum also revealed that "Cuba has never been mentioned in previous films. I filmed and felt like the time stopped because the artwork interwoven between the past and the present coexist. Everything in my eyes is like watching a scene from an old movie. So I feel like I'm the main character in the movie. "

Song Hye Kyo also said in the video interview: "Sometimes I really want to go, and I have to stay in Cuba for about a month to film 'Encouter'. On the weekend, I walked around with the staff and enjoyed delicious food here. At times, I feel like I'm enjoying life in Cuba. "
