  • Kim Woo Bin and Suzy's Upcoming Netflix Series Hit by Big Change, Director Lee Byung Hun Exits Over Personal Issues

    Big news has rocked the drama world! Director Lee Byung Hun has officially stepped down from the director’s chair for the upcoming Netflix series Everything Will Come True, starring Kim Woo Bin and Suzy.

    Reports from the broadcasting industry on January 27 revealed that Lee Byung Hun left the project last year during filming due to personal reasons.

    The production team confirmed the news, stating, “It is true that Director Lee Byung Hun left the project due to personal reasons.” After his exit, PD Ahn Gil Ho, who directed the hit Netflix series The Glory, stepped in to lead the project.

    Despite Lee Byung Hun’s departure, Everything Will Come True wrapped up all its filming by the end of October 2024.

    Fans are still eagerly awaiting this romantic comedy that tells the story of Genie (played by Kim Woo Bin), who holds the power to control life and death, and Ga Young (played by Suzy), who lacks emotions.

    The two characters make three wishes that could change their fate in ways they never imagined—bringing either fortune or punishment.

    The buzz around the project has been huge, thanks to its writer Kim Eun Sook, the mastermind behind iconic dramas like Secret Garden, The Heirs, Goblin, Descendants of the Sun, and Mr. Sunshine.

    Fans were excited about the combination of Kim Eun Sook’s storytelling and Lee Byung Hun’s directing talent. Everything Will Come True was one of the most anticipated Netflix releases for 2025.

    Currently, the drama is in post-production, with a lot of technical work and CGI still to be done. The team behind the show is putting in extra effort to make sure it’s the best release of the year, with specialists from various fields working together to complete it.

    Stay tuned for updates, as Everything Will Come True is set to release later this year!
