From the movie ‘Train to Busan’ that caused the K-zombie syndrome around the world to the Netflix series ‘Hell’ to the Netflix film ‘Jeong-i’, each work has presented an unrivaled world of work. Director Yeon Sang-ho took charge of the planning and script, and it attracted a lot of attention. As director Yeon Sang-ho said, “If you are a Korean, you have probably heard stories of families fighting because of Seonsan,” Seonsan is a familiar entity that touches the roots of Koreans. By adding the mystery thriller genre to the medium of prenatal care, the film continues to pursue the root of the unusual events that occur after an unexpected prenatal inheritance.
The two directors said, “This is a work that drives tension through the eerie atmosphere of the picture itself and the anxious human emotions. “It will be more interesting if we focus on ‘Who is the culprit?’” (Director Min Hong-nam), “It will be difficult to predict because new cases will bloom again at points where we thought they were solved” (Director Yeon Sang-ho). The charm of the genre is chosen as a point to watch, amplifying curiosity.
