In the action-crime K-drama, Kim Hyun Joo is depicted as the fearless successor of President Choi Tae Ho, portrayed by Heo Joon Ho, a once powerful and influential person in Seoul.
However, due to his encounter with his former staff, Kim Myung Gil, played by Park Sung Woong, he got away from the spotlight and lived a quiet life, helping sick and poor individuals.
As obtained by a media outlet, the filmmaker explained that they only reduced her role instead of completely removing her from the series since her role plays a significant part.
"We really tried to minimize any discomfort for our viewers," the director explained, adding, "With the thought that the efforts of numerous individuals should not go to waste, we did our best to minimize the length of Kim Sae Ron's role while maximizing the overall quality of the show in order to enhance its completeness."
To recall, during the production of "Bloodhounds," Kim Sae Ron was heavily criticized after being involved in a DUI incident.
At the time, rumors sparked that rookie actress Jung Dae Eun would be her replacement, but as seen in the 8-part epiosode K-drama, she played a different character and was seen in the second part.
"Bloodhounds" is also the last project of Kim Sae Ron since the scandal broke.
