Lee Som “I was stimulated by the lot of skinship with ‘LTNS’ Ahn Jae-hong”… Director “Burn it to the point of drying it out” [BIFF 2023]

(Xports News Busan, Reporter Kim Yu-jin) Ahn Jae-hong and Lee Som expressed their feelings about working together for the third time through ‘LTNS (Long Time No Sex, working title)’.

On the afternoon of the 6th, an open talk was held on the TVING original drama ‘LTNS’, an official invitation to the On Screen section of the 28th Busan International Film Festival (BIFF), at the outdoor stage of the U-dong Film Center in Haeundae-gu, Busan. Director Lim Dae-hyung and Jeon Go-woon and actors Lee Som and Ahn Jae-hong attended the event.

‘LTNS’ is a comedy drama that tells the story of a couple who has become estranged from their relationship due to life and starts blackmailing an adulterous couple to make money, and in the process, they face their already ruined relationship.

In the drama, Lee Som and Ahn Jae-hong play a couple who have been married for five years and have no home, no children, and no relationship.

Lee Som played the role of Woojin, who despite his goal-oriented and aggressive appearance, was weak-hearted, and Jaehong Ahn played Samuel, who, despite his seemingly gentle appearance, harbored latent anger.

On this day, Lee Som said, “My brother Ahn Jae-hong and I appeared as a couple in ‘A Little Princess’, and this is our third meeting following the short film ‘Roaring, Rolling, Rolling,’ which my brother directed. This feels like we’ve really met each other properly. Now I feel like I’m really getting to know a lot more. “We appeared as a couple and there was a lot of emotional and skinship, but our partner was Ahn Jae-hong, so we were able to film while being stimulated comfortably.”

Ahn Jae-hong also said, “Me too. I really thought that this work of ours was minimalist in a way and did a good job of capturing realistic moments. It’s like every work, but the more I sympathized with it, the more interesting it was, and being able to act with Lee Som made it feel real.””I was able to capture certain moments well,” he said, expressing his gratitude to his partner Esom.

Director Jeon Go-woon, who was listening to this, raised curiosity about the drama by saying, “You two really worked hard. (There were high-level scenes) and they burned it to the point where we stopped them all.”

The Busan International Film Festival, which opened on the 4th, will run until the 13th, showing 209 films from 69 countries and 60 Community Beef films on 25 screens in 4 theaters, including the Busan Cinema Center, Lotte Cinema Centum City, CGV Centum City, and Lotte Cinema Daeyoung (Community Beef). It is screened.
