During a recent press conference in Beijing, Kwon and Huo radiated great camaraderie as they playfully showed brotherly affection toward each other. According to reports, Kwon reached for Huo's hand and hugged his 35-year-old co-star. The Korean celebrity then swept in with a quick kiss on Huo's cheek that the latter had to return the peck for all the audience to see.

However, their affinity in real life is not quite like in the movie. The story revolves around Xia Xiaoyu (Zhang) who is still in love with her ex-boyfriend Xu Mo (Huo) and on a mission to make him fall for her again. To do accomplish this, she pairs up with playboy Zhou Yunfeng (Kwon) to steal Xu Mo from his current girlfriend, Ye Jingsi (Shi).

In spite of difference in language, Huo and Kwon did not fail to make a connection during filming of Honey Enemy. In fact, Huo followed up on Kwon's earlier remark that he would want to have a drink one of these days. The Taiwanese actor prepared Chinese wine for the 38-year-old and reportedlly exchanged phone numbers.

Their conflict was confined in the movie, and both were in agreement when it comes to having rivals in love. For Kwon, avoiding a woman already in a relationship is the best way to go. Meanwhile, Huo quipped that sizing up the competition and learning when to back out if disadvantaged are his preferred strategies.

The Chinese and South Korean co-production was partly shot in the picturesque Jeju Island, which also allowed the cast to unwind and enjoy the view. Huo added that filming Honey Enemy gave him a breather from wearing traditional Chinese costumes since most of his projects were period dramas.

Directed by young Chinese filmmaker Zhang Linzi, Honey Enemy will be released in September and is the only romantic comedy to be shown in the mainland for the season.
