Will 'neu-neu-neu-dong-jae' be 'Dong-jae'.

The production presentation of the original TVing series 'Good or Bad Dongjae' (played by Lee Soo-yeon, Hwang Ha-jung and Kim Sang-won, directed by Park Geon-ho) was held at CGV Yongsan I'Park Mall in Yongsan-gu, Seoul on the afternoon of the 8th. Director Park Gun-ho, Lee Joon-hyuk and Park Sung-woong attended the event.

'Good or bad Dongjae' is a spin-off drama of 'Secret Forest'. Spawn Prosecutor is a work that depicts the hot survival of Seo Dong-jae (Lee Jun-hyuk), a prosecutor who wants to be recognized as the present, away from the past. Seo Dong-jae, who came back from hell, and Nam Wan-chan (Park Sung-woong), CEO of Lee Hong Construction, who reveals the mistakes he wants to forget, will not back down. Writer Lee Soo-yeon, who wrote Secret Forest, participated as a creator, and writers Hwang Ha-jung and Kim Sang-won, who have been with the series, wrote. Director Park Geon-ho directed the movie.



Director Park, who is in charge of directing, can be seen as Seo Dong-jae's survival period of "Secret Forest". I think I focused on that part when filming, thinking about what parts I could share the same world view but talk about different things. If you look at whether Prosecutor Seo Dong-jae will remain as a corruption prosecutor or justice, it will come out. Because actor Lee Joon-hyuk was Dong-jae himself, I think you can see that our work is so Dong-jae. I think it would be good if you could look at the confrontation with Nam-complete for fun."

Coach Park then took charge of cheekiness by being called 'Negg Dongjae' in season 1 of 'Secret Forest', and in season 2, he was called 'Our Dongjae' and made a fuss. At the end of season 2, I thought Dong-jae was at the boundary because I couldn't decide whether he was going the right way or the past. So, when I talked with director Lee Soo-yeon and Lee Jun-hyuk, I thought they might want to see Dong-jae who was good and bad. I think the title of 'Good or Bad Dongjae' can be burdensome at times, but I like the title itself and it's like Dongjae, so I'm really satisfied with the name that many viewers and fans gave me and I think we're glad we did it with this name.



Lee Joon-hyuk said "Originally, when I first heard about the spin-off, I felt too much pressure, and I thought I'd already shown everything, but I wondered if I could do this again. However, it seems that the character Dongjae came this far with the reaction of the fans without the intention of 'Dongjae' for 'Dongjae'. When the Dongjae article first came out, there were a lot of favorable responses, so I thought it might be okay to come out one more time. Thought about what I could do to get rid of the pressure as much as possible and show the novelty?? I thought it would be nice to have something new, something different from the original 'Secret Forest'. If 'Secret Forest' is a fine dining restaurant, 'Dongjae' seems to be an easy food to eat. If so, I think the genre is changing, so I think I approached it with the mindset of thinking that there is something new to show, so that the fans can show all the images they want."

Especially 'Good or Bad Dongjae' is a character created by fans' love. Lee Joon-hyuk "That's like a reaction. There were a lot of things that fans told me, and I never imagined 'Our Dongjae'. When Dongjae first came out, twice? Did it come out?? It seems that the back three-dimensional effect is increasing. I think I made Dongjae by acting and receiving more reactions than I thought."



The new characters are also attractive. Park Sung-woong, the king of noir, was cast in Namjeok, which will be in opposition to Seo Dong-jae. Park Sung-woong said, `Before entering each other's characters, I got on the last train of 'Good or Bad Dong-jae'. I had to prepare a lot in the beginning because I was in a hurry. As it was a spin-off, I felt like a brunch. It's not breakfast or lunch. But it was fresh. In the second episode, I met actor Lee Joon-hyuk at the scene, and he prepared a lot because he had a lot of lines and was an important god, and actor Lee Joon-hyuk talked a lot, saying, `If you come out like this, I think I can go out in some way.' Actor Lee Jun-hyuk thought he was ready, and how comfortable would it be to spin off. But when I saw him do it again, I thought 'This is the kind of character he is. Our relationship has changed several times. I've never been intimidated by noir until now, but now I have to be intimidated by Dongjae due to some situation, but I've never done it before, so I've had a hard time figuring out what to do. At the scene, the three of them had good chemistry, so they talked and discussed, so I think those scenes were well captured on the camera."

At first, Dongjae was difficult to understand, but now there are many parts that touch my heart. Lee Joon-hyuk said, `Although I have no different affection for Dong-jae, in seasons 1 and 2, it seems that the taste of that time was reflected rather than the affection for Dong-jae. I was very satisfied with the idea that there was not a villain who reflected on himself and shed tears, but there was also this subversion of cliché. As I came to the spin-off this time, I was modeled on someone I didn't like until season 1, but I think that person went in a lot in this work. Among the lines that I remember, 'It's today after one more day' seems to have touched my acting life. As time passed, I expressed the character and the person I really hated as I grew up, but at some point, there was a part that touched me. I don't think of dying like I used to. Dong-jae said, "I thought it would be nice if the children grew up a lot and lived well."

'Good or bad Dongjae' is an extension of Dongjae. Lee Joon-hyuk said "I didn't expect and act while working on the work, so it seems that this character is expanding when someone responds to it." It's a very pleasant thing to do. Dong-jae thinks that it is fun to come out three-dimensional. I hope there will be better things." Lee Jun-hyuk then said, `I think my personal preference is that hitting the back of my head at the end of season 2 is a cute element of fun in the work. I think Lee Soo-yeon wrote well, so she became a fun character, and I think she sympathized with us by looking at the inside of the character that was annoying, and seeing us work harder," he said, expressing anticipation.

'Good or bad Dongjae' will be released on TVing on the 10th.
