On November 27, in Yeouido, Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul, an interview was held for Wavve’s “New Classic Project” second work, “Director’s Cut I’m Sorry, I Love You 2024” (hereinafter referred to as “I’m Sorry, I Love You”). Director Lee HyungMin disclosed the story behind Im SooJung’s rainbow knit at the event.
In July, Wavve announced the “New Classic Project” revamped for 2024, choosing “I’m Sorry, I Love You” as the second work following the first, “Director’s Cut My Name is Kim SamSoon 2024.” This project involved not only Director Lee HyungMin but also key staff like editing and music directors, who remastered the original 16 episodes into 6, raising viewers’ expectations.
Celebrating its 20th anniversary this year, “I’m Sorry, I Love You” tells the intense love story of MooHyuk (So JiSub), raised as a street child after being adopted to Australia, meeting EunChae (Im SooJung). The drama, which aired in 2004, gained massive popularity, even coining the terms “I’m Sorry, I Love You addict” and “I’m Sorry, I Love You syndrome,” and introduced current top stars like So JiSub, Im SooJung, Jung KyungHo, and Jun HyeJin to the public.
The fashion of the main characters in this drama also became a hot topic. So JiSub’s hip-hop style and Im SooJung’s rainbow knit and Ugg boots drew significant attention at the time. Director Lee HyungMin shared, “The style back then was hard to accept, but as time passed, it seems to fit well with the current style.”
Im SooJung’s rainbow knit was needed again after the Australia shoot, but it was already sold out. The brand couldn’t mass-produce it as it was handmade. For So JiSub, his hip-hop style was suited to the character of a street man, but it was a style only So JiSub could pull off, Lee reminisced.
Director Lee HyungMin said he changed his mind following the stylist’s recommendation, “The clothes in Korean dramas are predictable. Trust us once.” He mentioned the passion to challenge with the spirit of youth and rock at the time, adding that actors and stylists united to achieve perfect teamwork. There is anticipation for what new story “I’m Sorry, I Love You” will present in the future.
