Dahyun from Twice and Jung Jin-young recently featured in the first look posters of the Korean remake of You Are The Apple Of My Eye, the Taiwanese coming-of-age romance drama. Studio Take, the production house, and Jayuro Pictures released a few glimpses from the movie on June 10 on their official Instagram page. The images saw idols in white school uniforms, smiling at the camera and each other.
After a Japanese version, the 2011 hit by director Giddens Ko is set to get its Korean remake with Cho Young-myoung at the helm.

The story sees Jung Jin-young playing Jin Woo, who denies any attraction towards Seon Ah (played by the TWICE member), the popular school heartthrob. However, they eventually fall for each other after being asked to sit together by their teacher. Their contrasting nature and beliefs later seem to stir trouble in their relationship. The story takes viewers on a heart-warming journey of a difficult Jin Woo and an ideal student, Seon Ah, who learn some lessons and experience a few regrets along the way.
Jung Jin-young's character is equivalent to Ko Ching Teng's, while the TWICE member's character is equivalent to Shen Chia Yi's from the original Taiwanese film.
As per Soompi, Jin-young shed light on his role and said:
“I am happy to have been cast in a project that I have affection for. I will do my best to convey the emotions of the original film.”
Dahyun also expressed her excitement about playing a prominent role in the title and added:
“It is an honor to be able to greet viewers through the big screen with a great project. I am very excited, and I will work hard to produce a great project with the best collaboration with my senior actors.”
Dahyun and Jin-young's other projects
This is not the first time that the former leader of the boy group, B1A4 has stepped into the world of acting. He is well-known for his performances in Love In The Moonlight, The Dude in Me, and Sweet Home. After two successful seasons, Sweet Home 3 is scheduled to release this summer.
Though fans have yet to see Dahyun feature in a movie or drama, this project will not mark the Twice member's acting debut. JYP confirmed in May that Dahyun is set to debut in the acting industry with her role in Sprint, a sports drama directed by Lee Seung-hoon.
Fans are now excited to see Dahyun and Jin-young take on roles opposite each other in the Korean remake of You Are The Apple Of My Eye. They are also eager to get more peeks into the title before the release of the film.
