During the interview, the reporter stated, “I had thought the drama’s genre would definitely be thriller because Shin Ha Kyun and Lee Joon are in it.” In response to the interviewer’s statement, Lee Joon confessed, “It’s stressful, because whenever I do anything, people say, ‘He seems like a psychopath.’ But it’s a completely different character this time.
