Actors Kim Hye-soo and Yeom Jung-ah named each other as the best partners.

On the morning of the 20th, at the production presentation of the movie 'Milsu' held at Lotte Cinema Konkuk University in Jayang-dong, Gwangjin-gu, Seoul, Kim Hye-soo said, "Yeom Jung-ah is the best partner," adding, "She filled in the parts I was lacking."

Kim Hye-soo and Yeom Jung-ah play the lead roles as Jo Chun-ja and Yeom Jin-sook, respectively, holding the center as a two-top lead. Yeom Jung-ah recalled, "When I heard about Kim Hye-soo's casting, I screamed out loud." She also said, "It was such a good set that it brought tears to my eyes."

Director Ryu Seung-wan said, "From the planning stage, I thought of Kim Hye-soo and Yeom Jung-ah," expressing confidence by saying, "When you watch the movie, you'll think they are 'irreplaceable.'"

Thanks to the two actors' perfect chemistry, the atmosphere on set was great, they agreed. Director Ryu said, "Even when they weren't filming, the two actors would watch each other's performances, clap their hands, cheer, and support each other. It got to the point where I was confused whether the cut was 'OK' or not."

Yeom Jung-ah recalled, "I always watched the actor performing in the water on the monitor and cheered them on," adding, "We shouted, cried, and clapped during the shoot." Kim Hye-soo also said, "I experienced a perfect moment underwater that I did not expect."

'Milsu,' which opens on the 26th of next month, is a maritime crime action film about people who make a living by salvaging daily necessities thrown into the sea, who get caught up in a life-changing big event.

The film is directed by Ryu Seung-wan, a director with over ten million viewers, known for movies such as 'Berlin' (2013), 'Veteran' (2015), 'The Battleship Island' (2017), and 'Mogadishu' (2021).
