The mother-and-son chatroom from the film Number One, starring Choi Woo-shik, has been revealed.

On the 14th, BY4M Studio posted photos on its official social media with the caption, "Mom thing: asks 'Did you eat?' 211 times."

In the photos, you can see the messages exchanged between Ha-min (played by Choi Woo-shik) and his mother, Eun-sil (played by Jang Hye-jin). Eun-sil told her son to "make sure you eat your side dishes," but Ha-min replied, "I ate out while working," leaving Mom a bit hurt. 

In another chat, Eun-sil says, "You should come down once next week. I made your favorites — perilla leaves and beef radish soup," but Ha-min answers again, "I'm too busy, I don't think I can go." Disappointed, Eun-sil asks, "Don't you want to see your mom's face.." Ha-min replies, "It's not that I don't want to go. You don't even understand how I feel," further stoking curiosity about their story.

Meanwhile, Number One follows Ha-min, who starts seeing a number that drops by one every time he eats his mom's food — and realizes that when it hits zero, his mother Eun-sil will die. He races to protect her. The film opens on February 11.
