During the event, Ryu Jun-yeol recalled his first encounter with Jeon Do-yeon in an elevator at an award ceremony five years ago.
“As soon as I know she will be the co-star, I start to think about the first time we met “I remember she was nervous before The Good Wife’’ premiere, and I still have a clear image of her facial expression in my mind.”
As the press event moderator said this serendipity gave her goosebumps, Ryu Jun-yeol jokingly responded, “I am also having goosebumps, but probably because of air-conditioning”.
HurJin-ho (“April Snow,” “Dangerous Liaisons”). said he had never thought about making, “Lost” until he read the first four episodes written by Kim Ji-hye (Hope).
While reading, he visualized Jeon Do-yeon and Ryu Jun-yeol as protagonists, and fortunately they both agreed to star in the project.
“I didn’t expect Ryu Jun-yeol to say yes,” said Jeon Do-yeon. “I thought actors would prefer grand stories, especially after watching his performances in Money, but he surprised me.”

Ryu Jun-yeol believes every work by Jeon Do-yeon would be great, so he couldn’t wait to say yes, even before reading the script. “If Jeon Do-yeon is joining the team, do you need another reason? Of course I would be a part of it!”
