Kim Da Mi on Reuniting With Choi Woo Sik in 'Our Beloved Summer'
"Our Beloved Summer" follows the enigmatic love story of ex-couples Woong (Choi Woo Sik) and Yeon Soo (Kim Da Mi), who meet again years later to film a sequel to the documentary they filmed in high school.
Throughout the drama, Kim Da Mi's character distanced herself from all kinds of relationships in order to protect herself. However, she shows various sides of her in front of the ones she dearly loves.
In the drama, Kim Da Mi joined hands with Choi Woo Sik, who she previously worked with in the award-winning film "The Witch: Subversion." Because of the film, the two amazing actors become close friends.
The actress said, "I'm very grateful for Choi Woo Sik. If it wasn't for him, we wouldn't be able to act comfortably."
"It's because we know each other so well that we always do great in each scene," Kim Da Mi reasons.
