Work hard and love harder - when workplace romance gone bad, how to survive from office breakup and welcome new relationship? And how would this 'relationship' affects the co-workers? You can find out the answer on how the characters grow in both work and love through Netflix upcoming rom-com drama 'Forecasting Love and Weather' featuring Park Min Young and Song Kang. 

Forecasting Love and Weather is a romantic comedy series about people at the Korea Meteorological Administration (KMA) who break, fall and get back on their feet every day. The story narrates Jin Ha-kyung (starring Park Min Young), who decides never to commit to an office romance after a brutal break-up, again falling into a relationship with a newcomer in the team Lee Si-woo (starring Song Kang) who is different but attractive in his own way. 

Yesterday evening, director Cha Young Hun and the cast - Park Min Young, Song Kang, Yoon Bak and Yura attended 'Forecasting Love and Weather' online press conference and talked about their characters in the drama and difficulties they faced when playing the roles.

Q: Why did you decided to take this role? 

Park Min Young: It felt refreshing at first but after filming it, I have some regrets. As this is a new concept about weather forecast so there's no other drama reference that I can look up to and so I watched documentaries to familiarise with the terms and the pattern of the speech. It was fun but really tough. As I did my homework I feel proud of myself. 

Song Kang: The concept about weather felt fresh to me. I find myself smiling as I read the script. The transparent and clumsy character as Si-woo was just right for me. I tried to make the character as bright as possible. The lines were hard so I watched a lot of documentaries. As for my appearance, I cut my hair short and I look a little dumb.

Yura: I auditioned for twice. I read the script from the perspective of an audience so it was really fun. I really wanted to join the drama, so when I got the call back, I almost flew around the house. That's how much I love the script. 

Yoon Bak: Honestly, I like all the other characters except mine. I almost decided not to take the role because of his character but was persuaded by the director after I met him. I was really stressed out by the character Han Ki Joon.

With a star-studded cast of Park Min Young, Song Kang, Yura and Yoon Bak, this is one of the most anticipated Romantic Comedies in the first half of 2022. Watch it on Netflix on 12 February.

The set of the media conference was supposed to be the surface of the moon. The cast members arriving at the conference were 'landing on the moon', an extremely apt concept with 'The Silent Sea'.

Director Choi infomed that the series, 'The Silent Sea', is actually based on his graduation work. Adapted from Director Choi's short film, which garnered attention at the 2014 Mise-en-scène Short Film Festival, he has expanded the story from it being focused on outer space originally, to now depicting the story on Earth and mankind.

"I wanted to create something true to my passion, that is physically on the moon," shared the talented and ambitious Director Choi.

Writer of 'The Silent Sea', Writer Park Eun-kyo

Writer Park Eun-kyo shared that a lot of research was done for the show and it was a long time in the making. As there are not many similar genres of such projects produced domestically yet, the writer added that it was a fun topic to explore and create.

Bae Doona, plays Song Jian in The Silent Sea

The A-list actress, Bae Doona, plays Song Jian, a well-known astrobiologist and ethologist, who took up the special mission to the moon to learn the truth behind an accident that happened 5 years ago.

When asked why she took up the role of Song Jian, the actress replied, "Korean sci-fi is a big challenge, I read the script and it was great so I took up the challenge.". Bae Doona also commented that 'The Silent Sea' will create food for thought and touch on social issues, which will be able to intrigue viewers.

When asked about the spacesuits that the cast members had to put on throughout the filming of the series, the actress revealed that the spacesuits weighed a significant 8.5kg (without the helmet and life support). 

Bae Doona revealed that the team tried their best for the suit to be as light as possible, but it was still heavy and it was also almost difficult to breathe in the helmet, which allowed her and the other cast members to feel like they were really on the moon.

Gong Yoo, plays Han Yunjae in The Silent Sea

Similar to Bae Doona, the A-list actor Gong Yoo, has also received much attention on his character as Han Yunjae. The actor plays the youngest captain of the Space and Aeronautics Administration's Expedition Team.

The actor revealed that he accepted the role as he wanted to challenge himself in the genre and series, and that he found no reason to not join this project of 'The Silent Sea'.

"I'm also interested in a dystopian world backdrop and it was refreshing,", commented Gong Yoo, who expressed his satisfaction of the series.

The actor also talked about the spacesuit and use of wires for the filming, stating that it restricted easy movement, as if there was really zero gravity.

Lee Joon, plays Ryu Taesuk in The Silent Sea

The versatile idol-actor, Lee Joon, plays the chief engineer and former Ministry of National Defense elite. Lee Joon also revealed that he is very interested in outer space and that one of his hobbies included looking up information and researching on the outer space matters.

He also candidly mentioned that behind-the-scenes, the cast members will be dancing on the filming set and having fun together.

Lee Joon also expressed his joy to be in many productions that are currently airing.

Kim Sun-young, plays Doctor Hong Gayoung in The Silent Sea

Kim Sun-young continued to express her respect for the Jung Woosung as an executive producer and actor himself, by sharing episodes on her prior interactions with him, showing his passion in his works.

Lee Mu-saeng, plays Gong Soohyuk in The Silent Sea

Lee Mu-saeng plays the role of Gong Soohyuk, the chief security officer for the expedition team and the older brother of Soochan. Strong yet silent, Soohyuk stays true to the mission while putting his life on the line.

A second teaser poster and a teaser trailer have been unveiled for sci-fi mystery thriller series The Silent Sea, which premieres 24 December on Netflix. The show is about an elite team who goes on a special mission to an abandoned research base on the moon in a dystopian 2075 where Earth has been devastated by resource depletion. The new ensemble teaser poster shows the elite team members tasked with a grave mission to reach the moon to find new means of mankind’s survival.

The team must risk their lives to find the answer to mankind’s survival and complete their mission in this secret room-like research base. The Silent Sea is set to premiere on 24 December, only on Netflix.
