The mini-movie is actually a ten-minute advertisement for the Dentiste brand of toothpaste. Images from the movie prominently feature on that brand's website. Regardless, Dentiste clearly produced the short movie with an eye on Seo Kang-joon's fans, and while their involvement is not hidden, the mini-movie is presented as a love story first.
The English subtitles, while a bit crude, are also likely a gesture allowing Seo Kang-joon's international fans to also enjoy the mini-movie. The Dentiste brand of toothpaste is sold worldwide, and generally marketed for health benefits rather than via celebrity endorsements or whitening ability. Seo Kang-joon last appeared in the drama "When the Weather Is Fine" and does not have any currently announced projects.
