Director Chung Dong-yoon met with Sports Chosun at a cafe in Jongno-gu, Seoul on the morning of the 30th and interviewed Netflix's original series 'Gyeongseong Creature 2' (played by Kang Eun-kyung, directed by Chung Dong-yoon).
Director Chung Dong-yoon said, `I think the power of actors is great. While filming together, there were many times when I didn't feel how much public power Park Seo-joon and Han So-hee had, but Seo-joon also had a huge fandom when he had a fan meeting in Japan. There are influences from previous works such as 'Itaewon Class'. I think a lot of people in Japan saw Seo-jun and So-hee. It seems that Seo-joon was the biggest factor rather than they saw it with any sense of criticism. 'I think the biggest thing was 'I still watch it.'"
Director Chung said, "Melo was difficult. Season 1 tells a lot of stories and is about two people struggling, but it was the melodrama of the two that was not solved in the season. There is a story that each other thinks they are dead, and I thought that it would be a touching story or recovery for the viewer to make it continue after 79 years. I hope you think that the scene where the two people who lived through that era reunite and look at each other is another symbolic meaning that we wanted to show in the drama."
Then "The two became closer in season 2 than in season 1. He has also become more considerate. Personally, I think I looked closer because I lost my distance. Season 1 is also about what happens in less than a week. I thought realistically that no matter how desperate I was there, it was unlikely that it would be that long, but I thought that the eyes would be different when people with memories met over 79 years. When So-hee and Seo-joon ran to meet each other in Part 5, they gave the impression that they were running with that emotion. I think that's how it was expressed. Seo-joon also smiled with a little sadness when they reunited in the last scene, and So-hee acted well with unknown emotions as if she was about to cry without realizing it, so I think she felt good after filming that day.
Director Chung also said, `The two actors are professional. The front and the back are always the same. It was good because I was easy-going and working hard on my concerns that fit my current age. In fact, dealing with top stars is hard for me to be very shy, but I think they made me comfortable. The three of us don't talk a lot because we talk a lot, but I think we played when we were thinking about each other. I think they post a lot of 'Blood, Sweat, and Tears' on Instagram, but it was hard for me, too. I also wondered if I should make an Instagram and post it. But it must have been really hard for the two. Sometimes, there was a lot of rolling on the floor, and Chae-ok had nothing to say more. I think the two of you played a lot more roles in Season 2 because you had to show a strong side even though you are thin. 'Is this the main character?' It occurred to me that it was worth its name. As they dragged them out, it seems that the staff and actors also had something to do. That was good for teamwork."
Director Chung said, `So-hee collapsed a lot while doing action. It was even more difficult in season 2 to the extent that it was minor to be hit by an iron furrow in season 1. In the third part, I filmed a few days at dawn in the action scene with Kurokos, and there were many bugs and if you don't concentrate, you can get hurt, and even though Sohee had a hard time, she worked hard with the martial arts team. Once you enter such a place, the color of the hands of those who entered and those who did not enter is compared. Those who do not enter have white hands, but if they enter and come out, they become black. I don't think I've provided a good environmentSeo-joon also rode a lot of wires. Seo-joon is good at using his body, but it must have been difficult because he had to drag his emotions to the end while doing action. Seo-joon ran toward each other in the fifth inning, and in that scene, he seemed to have good expressions, saying, `I'll try one more time.' I know it's such an important scene, so I think I filmed it while taking a few takes."
When asked if there would be a re-run, director Chung replied, "Why now?""I want to be more mature and do it later." I think I'm still growing up, and I want to do it when I grow up a little bit more and I'm ready to accept it again. There is a lot of willingness to do it with each other. Sohee said, 'Director, can you do something like this?They say a lot, saying, `I hope we can meet in a few years and 79 years after we each do more things we want.'
'Gyeongseong Kritzer 2' is a story about the relationship, fate, and bad relationship of Gyeongseong where everything looks similar to 'Taesang' in 2024 Seoul, 'Hojae' and 'Chaeok' who survived the spring of Gyeongseong meet. 'Gyeongseong Kritzer 2' depicts the struggles of characters to end the bad relationship from Gyeongseong in 1945 to Seoul in 2024. Park Seo-joon, who played the godfather of Geumokdang 'Taesang', Gyeongseong's best pawnbroker in season 1, plays 'Hojae', which looks exactly like 'Taesang' in season 2. Han So-hee played the role of Chae-ok, who is living in Seoul today without getting old or dying after swallowing Najin in Gyeongseong in the past. In addition, Lee Mu-saeng as 'Kuroko Captain', who leads the secret elite agent Kuroko, and Bae Hyun-sung as 'hojae' and 'Seungjo' with a special ability to freely use tentacles were joined.
Kyungsung Creature 2 was released on Netflix on the 27th.
