Korean actor Na In-woo appeared at the production announcement for the TBS Tuesday 10pm drama "First Love DOGs" (Tuesdays at 10pm), which begins on July 1st, held in Tokyo on June 24th. In-woo entertained the audience with his playful greeting of "Good evening!" and occasional Japanese words in his talk.
When asked about filming in Japan, Inu smiled and said, "Just like having fun filming in Korea, everyone is helping and supporting me. I'm having just as much fun filming here as I am in Korea."
He said he was being taught Japanese by his co-star, Ryo Narita, and livened up the venue by performing Kano Eiko's joke, "Ramen, tsukemen, I'm handsome."
Also appearing at the production announcement were Kaya Kiyohara, Riku Hagiwara, Takeshi Nadagi, Kayo Noro, Kyoko Fukada, and Goro Kishitani.
This is a co-production between the TBS Drama Team and Korean production company STUDIO DRAGON, which has worked on hits such as "Crash Landing on You" and "Marry My Husband," with the script written by Arisa Kaneko and directed by Shingo Okamoto, Noh Young-seop, and Yoshihiro Ito. The love story begins when the two "pet dogs" of Aiko Hanamura, a cool lawyer who doesn't believe in love, played by Kiyohara, and Kai Shirasaki, a complicated veterinarian who can only love animals, played by Narita, fall in love. Na In-woo, a Korean actor who appeared in "Marry My Husband," will make his first appearance in a Japanese drama as a Korean heir with a secret who appears before the two.
