Actor Ji Chang-wook expressed his feelings about appearing in Disney+'s first multinational work.

At 'Disney+ Original Preview 2025(Disney+ Originals Preview 2025)' held at the Cinderella Ballroom at the Disneyland Hotel Conference Center in Hong Kong on the 13th, Ji Chang-wook said "I'm nervous because it's my first time working on it."

The work "Merry Berry Love" is about a Korean designer who begins a new life on a remote Japanese island after suffering a painful failure. The meeting between Korean actor Ji Chang-wook and Japanese actor Mio Imada is drawing great attention.




Ji Chang-wook said "The character setting itself was good. I really wanted to work in Japan. When I was offered this work, I had high expectations that it would be a very interesting collaborator. "

Mio Imada said "The language barrier was also one big difficult part, but I thought it was important to communicate because dating is about wanting to get to know each other more and get to know each other more closely," he said.

Then Ji Chang-wook "It's a setting in which I can't speak Japanese in the content of the play. I think I'll have a lot of fun as it creaks from the first meeting. I think you can look forward to the process of communicating with us" he said.




In addition, Ji Chang-wook "I saw Mio for the first time through this work. I think it fits Mr. Mio better in this work than in his previous work. During the production process, characters change a lot, and the script is revised a lot. I kept talking about the script, and in the meantime, I liked that the character and Mr. Mio became similar. It's the first time I've seen you while doing it together, and I think you might be the most suitable person." he recalled the first time he saw Mio Imada.

Mio Imada "I've seen a lot of Ji Chang-wook's works. Meeting you this time, there are some very attractive parts and others that lead you because you are older than me. I think there will be some people performing together while filming. I want to rely on them a lot", showing off their 'chemistry".

In terms of being Disney+'s first multinational work, Ji Chang-wook "I'm nervous because it's my first time working on it, but I'm looking forward to it because the preparation process has been hard." Mio is in the middle of filming, and I will join the shooting from this Sunday. I think it will be so much fun, and I hope you look forward to it."




Imada Mio is looking forward to acting in many ways. I love Korean love comedy, so I'm looking forward to participating in the world view myself."

Finally, Ji Chang-wook wrote "There is humanism and love. Beyond cultural barriers, it's also a point to watch how this will be done,' said Mio Imada. `It's mainly set on Japanese islands. There is also a natural part of the character played by Ji Chang-wook, who suddenly appeared there, so I hope you look forward to that part as well."

The Disney+ original 'Merry Berry Love' will be released next year.
