Delusion
The mystery-thriller TV show Delusion is based on the comic of the same name. The plot revolves around a painter who is commissioned to create a portrait of a beautiful woman.
As the narrative unfolds, the woman becomes embroiled in a series of mysterious events.
Han Jae-rim, the director, is known for his successful works such as The Face Reader, The King, Emergency Declaration, and The Eight Show. His new project has garnered significant attention.
Ryu Jun-yeol and Han So-hee were initially set to play the lead roles in Delusion, but they withdrew due to personal reasons, leading to delays in production.
Initially, there was speculation that Suzy would be cast as the female lead, but she declined due to scheduling conflicts. However, recent reports suggest she may have reconsidered the offer.
If they accept roles in the show, Kim Seon-ho and Suzy will work together again after four years. In 2020, they starred together in the drama Start-Up.
In recent months, Kim Seon-ho's performance in the Disney+ original series Tyrant has been well-received. He is currently working on the Netflix show Can This Love Be Translated?
