The Netflix series 'Devastating' is a story about a confrontation between a prime minister who decides to make a presidential bid to overturn the world and a deputy prime minister for economic affairs who tries to stop him and seize power.



Director Kim Yong-wan, who directed the movie, is said to have immersed viewers in a single play by focusing only on solid scripts and characters themselves rather than visual techniques by showing delicate productions without genre limitations from comedy to mystery thrillers. Shortly after its release, 'Dolpung' also topped the category of 'Korea's TOP 10 Series' today.

On this day, director Kim Yong-wan told an anecdote about the casting of actors Seol Kyung-gu and Kim Hee-ae, which became a hot topic right before the release of the work. He told the behind-the-scenes story, "'Kim Hee-ae's love for the script by Park Kyung-soo was great, and he was the first to be casted.'" "After that, he delivered the script to actor Seol Kyung-gu himself to see if he thought it was a good script, and the miraculous casting was completed."



He said "I couldn't believe they were such great actors in such a good script, and there was no reason not to do it from the standpoint of the director."

Regarding the reaction of people around him immediately after the release of the work, "I'm not looking for reactions because I'm so nervous, but I'm grateful for the good stories."I know that many fans have been waiting for Park Kyung-soo's work for a long time, but I'm glad to hear that he didn't disappoint the fans."," he added.



The movie is available on Netflix, which depicts the intense and constant events of the prime minister and the deputy prime minister for economic affairs in the background of the conflict and political situation over the presidential disaster.
