Actress Jo Hye-jeong will attend the Cannes International Series Festival with the drama 'Fasting Love'.
The drama 'Fasting Love' (directed by Cho Chang-geun, produced by Film Company Now), starring Jo Hye-jeong, tells the story of 'Jisoo', who has a dream of becoming a singer and enters a fasting center to prepare for an audition. This romantic comedy genre drama has been confirmed for screening in the Korean Fiction Rendezvous section at the 8th Cannes International Series Festival.
The Cannes International Series Festival is an awards ceremony established in 2018, which selects outstanding content with commercial viability and artistic quality from drama and series content worldwide, during the Cannes Film Festival in France. As the work officially makes its first appearance, Jo Hye-jeong is expected to attend to communicate directly with global audiences.
In 'Fasting Love', Jo Hye-jeong portrays 'Jisoo', a character who is naturally talented in dancing and singing and has a bright personality, but lacks confidence due to experiences of bullying in middle school. As a virtual singer who performs behind an avatar while hiding her face, she dreams of the day she can sing live on stage and decides to audition, entering the fasting center.
In particular, Jo Hye-jeong depicts 'Jisoo' struggling between the temptation of hunger and her dream of becoming a singer after entering the fasting center, which boasts strict rules. She will deliver delightful laughter by portraying a relatable character who cries and laughs over 'a piece of pork belly' and 'a drink of soju' as she escapes from the mundane world.
Since being invited to the Jeonju International Film Festival with last year's film 'Talk to Her' and meeting with audiences, Jo Hye-jeong is continuing to communicate by sharing updates through her YouTube channel while presenting the drama 'Fasting Love'.
