“Ditto” is a time-slip romance in which a woman living in 1979 and a man living in 2000 are somehow able to communicate through an old radio. The two realize that they are living in different time periods when they make plans to meet but fail to see each other.

In the remake, Yeo and Cho will play the roles of students named Yong and Mo-nee, living the years 1995 and 2021.

Other actors cast include Kim Hye-yoon, who will take on the role of Yong’s first love Han Sol, Na In-woo, as Mo-nee’s friend Young-ji, and Bae In-hyuk as Yong’s friend Eun-sung.

Director Seo Eun-young, who worked on films “Go Back” (2020) and “Overman” (2016), will take helm of the film.
