[Dispatch=Reporter Park Hye-jin] Actors Song Hye-kyo and Gong Yoo meet through 'Ttalttara', depicting the rough stories of the entertainment industry in the 1980s.
Netflix series 'Slowly and Intensely' (written by Noh Hee-kyung, directed by Lee Yoon-jung) released a teaser poster and preview on the 13th. The staggered release by part starting on the 11th of next month for three weeks has been confirmed.
The teaser poster captures the determination of Minja (played by Song Hye-kyo), Donggu (played by Gong Yoo), Minhee (played by Kim Seol-hyun), and Seokgilryeo (played by Cha Seung-won). Minja's eyes sparkled as she said, "You must have seen how incredibly I smell money. If there's money here—"
Donggu showed a fierce gaze saying, "What do we have to fear, we who have lived roughly like this?" Minhee pledged her aspirations, saying, "I have to succeed so you won't abandon me."
The teaser preview captures the 1980s. Minja and Donggu have overcome adversity and hardship together since childhood. Meeting Minhee, who has talent for singing, they ventured into the record business. Rising again like weeds even when trampled, they moved forward for success.
The tagline "A reckless beginning. Countless challenges. Ttalttara, that intense journey" caught attention. Minja, Donggu, Minhee, and Seokgilryeo struggled to take the stage even once. Each in their own way rushes toward their dreams.
'Slowly and Intensely' is set against the Korean entertainment industry of the 1960s-80s, when barbarism and violence ran rampant. It depicts the growth story of those who, having nothing, threw themselves in dreaming of brilliant success.
The 22-part series is divided into 3 parts and released in stages. Part 1 (8 episodes) will premiere on the 11th of next month. Part 2 (7 episodes) arrives on the 18th, and Part 3 (7 episodes) on the 25th.
