As an official invitation at the 29th Busan International Film Festival, the film (directed by Kim Yeo-jung and Lee Jung-chan, provided/distributed by Studio Santa Claus Entertainment, produced by Studio Santa Claus Entertainment, co-produced by Blue Fire Studio) not only gained recognition for its artistic value but also proved its popularity and intense interest by selling out all tickets as soon as reservations opened.
The psychological destruction thriller depicts the cracks that occur as Yeong-eun (Kwak Sun-young), whose daily life is collapsing due to her daughter So-hyun's bizarre behavior, confronts Min (Kwon Yu-ri), who has lost her memories from the past 20 years, and reveals the character stills of Lee Seol, who plays the bright-faced intruder Ha-young.
Lee Seol noted, "I thought Ha-young was a child who craved love more than anyone. I pondered a lot about the anger, loss, and sadness he must have felt while creating the character," expressing the process of developing the challenging character Ha-young. Director Lee Jung-chan remarked, "Lee Seol had a whimsical charm that was unpredictable. His curious eyes and unique interpretation of the script resonated with the image of Ha-young," and director Kim Yeo-jung stated, "Lee Seol constantly pondered about Ha-young and we often met to have deep conversations about the character. We had to reflect on whether we were putting in as much passion as Lee Seol was," raising expectations for Lee Seol, who completed the character with his remarkable acting passion.
The psychological destruction thriller , with its new and captivating material and fresh actors creating intense characters, is expected to deliver genre-specific excitement with its sophisticated direction, and is set to hit theaters on March 12.
