Ryu played Park Sang-hyun, the head of the Central Intelligence Agency, the center of power. He was fascinated by the genre of black comedy when he said how he joined the work. The funny and bone-in scenario is very fascinating. I had the power to show what the director wanted to say to the world even though it was cinematic", he explained.
Director Byun said, `Ryu Seung-beom said he enjoyed reading the scenario, but he refused" he revealed. At the same time, "Usually, when an actor refuses an offer to appear, I have to go back saying 'Okay', but I didn't go home and stayed there until I got my approval. We were together for 12 hours at the time, and only returned home after getting approval to appear," he said, revealing his secret story.
In response, Ryu Seung-beom did not reject the work. I wanted to take a break to finish my previous work and do the next one, but when the director gave me a suggestion, I had to prepare right away"I wondered if it would help the work, and there was no doubt about the 'Good News'."The director didn't want to go home, so I made the decision right on the spot," he said with a smile.
