Love and Leashes is Based on Naver Webtoon's Moral Sense
Ahead of its premiere on Netflix, director Park Hyun Jin and the main cast members appeared at a press conference on Tuesday.
As reported by The Korea Times, the showrunner explained why she decided to follow the Naver webtoon's title, Moral Sense. Per director Park Hyun Jin, it is her way to let people know that the film will show several elements, including humor, romance, and gender issues.

"The story deals with the subject of sexual preference, but doesn't include suggestive language or reference. To me, Ji-woo sounded like a charming romantic lead. In the workplace, she is criticized for being overly candid, blunt and not showcasing 'aegyo' (a Korean term often associated with women making cute gestures), but Ji-hoo thinks she's cool," she explained on Tuesday.
The director added that the film raises questions about social norms while sharing the importance of having diversity. With that said, fans should expect another rollercoaster ride this time.
Director Park Hyun Jin Will Show Never-Before-Seen Sides of Main Stars
Elsewhere in the event, the director explained how Seohyun and Lee Jun Young's personalities helped her in highlighting their sides which fans had never seen before. Though the official synopsis shows the bizarre sides of the film's characters, Park Hyun Jin assured that the flick would also highlight their harmonious differences as an actor and actress.
The K-pop idol herself felt the same, especially since her and Lee Jun Young's characters complimented each other throughout the filming.
"Within the first few hours of shooting, however, I realized that my worries were unfounded because he was so passionate and hard-working. He exuded positive energy, which was really helpful for me acting alongside him," she said.
Fans will finally see these sides once Love and Leashes arrive on Netflix on Friday.
