like i mentioned in IOTNBO im also proud he chose this project. JCW was vocal that he wanted to work with his director of BR. he’s a great director for sure especially The Fiery Priest. and of course Goblin writer baeksang grand prize awardee, LmH wants to work with her.
we all know its a common practice in korea show business that popular actors can choose directors and writers. maybe some of them don’t even the script and gives full trust to the director and writer.
KSH took his time to read many scripts and choose something special & something he has not done before. i was nervous at the beginning because i noticed that all of the director’s works that i’ve seen, i rated it super low like hyde jekyll me and encounter... even jealousy incarnate i rated a bit higher 8/10 but not really as high. (and the MDL ratings are similar).
i think this is also the director’s time to shine :)
