Director Lee Il-hyung, who directed the Netflix original series ‘Bad Romance’, expressed both the burden and confidence of releasing a work following ‘Fooled’.

‘Bad Romance’, which will be released on April 4, is a crime thriller series that depicts the story of six people entangled in a bad relationship that they cannot escape even if they want to. The main cast includes Park Hae-soo, Shin Min-a, Lee Hee-joon, Kim Sung-kyun, Lee Kwang-soo, and Gong Seung-yeon.

At the production conference held at the JW Marriott Dongdaemun Square in Seoul on the 31st prior to the first broadcast, director Lee Il-hyung expressed his strong faith in the solid lead cast, saying, “I thought a lot about how I could fit together the parts that match the images the actors have shown so far and the unfamiliar parts as a puzzle, but on the other hand, I thought that was the most fun part.

The director also honestly confessed his burden about releasing the drama after the hugely popular ‘Fooled in a Fifteen-episode Drama’ that was released over four weeks. “I also watched ‘Fooled in a diligent manner. “I watched it with tears in my eyes from the first episode, and it would be a lie to say that I don‘t feel burdened meeting viewers after the consecutive release of ’Deceived Me‘ for four weeks,” he said, adding, “However, our drama has its own genre-specific fun. (Through ’Deceived Me‘) I think you’ll enjoy this spicy thriller even more if you watch a warm, humanistic story.”
