Why is Director Kim Sung Yong Confident in Releasing the Kdrama The Veil?

The director followed his statement by expressing the reason why he was confident even before presenting the work.

He continued, "Considering Korea's geopolitical position and military specificity, there's no country like Korea where intelligence agencies are important. This situation has not been found on the small screen these days. So, while continuing the tradition of Korean intelligence, I wanted to present a drama that fits the eyes of the viewers. With that in mind, I was confident that it would definitely be a hit to the viewers."
