Junyoung & Seohyun with director Park Hyunjin at the press conference
Director Park Hyun-jin of romantic comedy film "Love and Leashes" explained that she decided to adapt a Naver webtoon titled "Moral Sense" (also the Korean title of the film) for the screen because it combines elements of humor, romance and gender issues.
In the upcoming Netflix film, Seohyun plays Ji-woo, a young woman who rejects the traditional roles that society imposes on women. One day, she stumbles upon her co-worker Ji-hoo's (Lee Jun-young) secret peculiarities after mistakenly opening a package that belongs to him. The two enter a contractual relationship as partners in consensual play to fulfill each other's sexual fantasies.
"The story deals with the subject of sexual preference, but doesn't include suggestive language or reference. To me, Ji-woo sounded like a charming romantic lead. In the workplace, she is criticized for being overly candid, blunt and not showcasing 'aegyo' (a Korean term often associated with women making cute gestures), but Ji-hoo thinks she's cool. The film raises questions about normality and stresses the importance of embracing diversity," she said during a press conference for the film, Tuesday.
