Director Kim Moon Kyo on Casting Decisions
Director Kim Moon Kyo talked about the casting behind-the-scenes story. He said, “As you can see from the script, it is a work in which many actors appear, so I thought that it might be difficult for viewers to easily relate to the characters.” He continued, “When casting, I tried to cast actors who had a natural connection between the characteristics of the characters and the actual appearance of the actors, and who seemed to resemble the role in terms of image and character.” He added, “If you feel like ‘This person is like this’ while watching the work, then that’s right.”
Kwon Yool’s Playful Threat
Kwon Yool, who plays the role of a ‘corrupt prosecutor’ in the drama, couldn’t hide his embarrassed expression, turning the scene into a sea of laughter. Kwon Yool joked, “I’m going to sue the director for defamation.”
