The movie 'Concrete Utopia' will begin its first shooting on April 16 (Friday) after actors and production teams gathered together for the first time to have a script reading. The atmosphere during the script reading was lively and overflowing with energy, to the point where I could clearly feel each character that I read in the script come to life. Park Bo Young enthused, “I’m delighted to be a part of ‘Concrete Utopia,’ and I’ll work hard during filming. She is also a warm-hearted character who uses her skills to take care of the injured. I was drawn to the changes in Min Sung’s emotions over the course of the incidents that take place within the space of Hwang Goong Apartments, among the people that live there.”įinally, Park Bo Young will make her return to the silver screen as Min Sung’s wife Myung Hwa, a former nurse who is able to remain calm in even the most stressful of situations.
