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).
Chung said, `I'm satisfied with the response to season 2. I heard it was ranked high overseas, and I'm grateful that a lot of people seem to be watching it. " I don't hate it (the black and white chef ', which was released at the same time and ranked high." There is also a difference in the genre of entertainment and drama, and there is something I admit because I enjoy watching it so much. I think it would be nice if the two of them went well together. I don't care about the rankings at all. I personally don't dwell on the fact that the same dramas are put together and ranked first and second."
Coach Chung then said, `I heard that he ranked fourth in Japan and ranked in the top 10 for two consecutive days in the United States. It's great because it's good in France and ranked high in India. I'm in a good mood. One of the goals of this work is to break away from history that we only know and what we only feel, and to let foreign people see it and sympathize with it, so I hope you don't think that's working well. "
The background that changed in season 1 and season 2 also played a major role. "I thought Season 1 and Season 2 reflect the times well in my personal standards," Chung said. Season 1 had a really huge main enemy. If we tell the story of people struggling there, Season 2 has changed the times since it came to modern times. As I said in season one, it's not an anti-Japanese drama. It's not like 'I hate it' about Japan, but let's not forget about the people who hurt us at the time in season 1. I'm asking you to know what is living like a human being, but I think the irony of the times is that there are things that make it easier to compromise and lower your head than you think. In that sense, I thought it symbolically contained the meaning of season 2, and it is already known historically, but it seems to have been the beginning of the Japanese colonial era era that many people changed their names after liberation, implicitly melting into Korean society and forming an establishment of vested interests. Let's think about the fact that the mountain behind Ongseong Hospital has been set up as Namsan Mountain, and that the same thing is happening as a biopharmaceutical company that is still doing well by setting up a huge company called Seungjeon Pharmaceutical on Namsan Mountain and changing its name to the Korean style
I thought the big thing turned into an enemy seen and an enemy unseen. I hope you can think that it symbolizes that in Season 2."
Director Chung also said, `Some people deny the identity of our country's history, and I thought it would be necessary to look back on that. Even though there is a historical fact, you have to tell it through the main character's mouth. There is a saying in Seo-jun's mouth that "(Park) Why should we forgive those who do not apologize?", but forgiveness and forgetfulness are different. I wanted to convey the message of this on the air, so I seriously directed the scene with Seo-joon's mouth.
'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.
