Then "It was short in season 1 with the director, but we were previously together in the movie "Namhansanseong". There are many key people this time, but there is something organically. It was a situation where there had to be many times more than other works to think about. Nevertheless, he is very good at correcting and judging that he can misunderstand problems at every moment.
