Actor Jo Seung-woo's first love story is genuinely cinematic

This is a story actor Jo Seung-woo shared about his first love in middle school.

He was a quiet kid, short at 150cm, always seated in the front row. Behind him sat a girl who was 160cm — and he was totally smitten. He kept sneaking glances at her, and sometimes it felt like she was looking back at him too, but since he sat in front, he couldn't really tell.

Then one day, the homeroom teacher suddenly switched the front and back rows. Now he could watch her freely from behind. Mid-class, something shiny caught his eye — he looked up and realized she was holding a palm-sized mirror, staring at him through it. Their eyes met in the reflection. He ends the story with: 'Like a scene from a movie.' No notes. That's just straight-up cinema.
