Gong Yoo had a movie-like encounter with a woman in New York?

We're all thinking that question: "Why couldn't it be me?"

During the press conference for 'A Man and a Woman' on January 19, Gong Yoo revealed that in the past he had a movie-like encounter with a woman he didn't know.  

Before Gong Yoo's revelation, Jeon Do Yeon was asked, "If someone like Gong Yoo appeared before your eyes in Finland (movie setting for 'A Man and a Woman') in real life, would you fall in love?" and she responded, "Of course."  Who wouldn't?

Gong Yoo joined in with, "It's possible.  I personally have a fantasy regarding stuff like that. Considering my job, whenever I go abroad for a schedule or to play, I always imagine something like that.  I dream of a coincidental meeting with a stranger.  A meeting like 'Before Sunrise.'"

He then recalled that he had actually experienced something like that before, stating, "I had an experience like that before.  It was on the streets.  I didn't really have criteria for an ideal type, so when I thought about it to myself, I thought of it as a meeting that would have happened in a movie.  It was in New York."

Pack your bags!  We're going to New York!
