"Kill Boksoon" is an action film about Gil Boksoon, a legendary killer in the contract murder industry, who is about to renew her contract with the company, getting caught in an inevitable confrontation. Jeon Do-yeon and Sol Kyung-gu's familiar harmony is drawing attention in the Netflix movie "Kill Boksoon", which is receiving enthusiastic responses by topping the Netflix global top 10 movies (non-English) with 196.1 million viewing time.

This is the third time Jeon Do-yeon and Sol Kyung-gu have come together. They first worked together in 2001 with the movie "I Wish I Had a Wife". Jeong Won-joo (Jeon Do-yeon) who works as an academy instructor in the same building as Kim Bong-soo (Sol Kyung-gu), a pure man who dreams of an ideal marriage, play in a flirting relationship. Then in 2019, the two met again in the movie "Birthday" after eighteen years. The two played the role of a couple who lost their son in the Ferry Sewol disaster in "Birthday".

In "Kill Boksoon", the two reunited as the head of a murder contracting company with a 100% success rate of murder weapon. Jeon Do-yeon also described Sol Kyung-gu as a 'mountain holding out on the side'. In an interview with SpoTV News after the release of "Kill Boksoon", she boasted, saying, "Sol Kyung-gu always stood by me like a mountain, but when I climb the mountain, I know what kind of feelings he has".

"The romance in "Kill Boksoon" was created by Sol Kyung-gu", she said. "When I read the script, I didn't feel much of the melodramatic story between Cha Min-gyoo (Sol Kyung-gu) and Boksoon. But after the first premiere, I cried because it seemed to be a love story between the two. I thought, "Did they have this kind of love?" Sol Kyung-gu created it", and Sol Kyung-gu said about Jeon Do-yeon, "Jeon Do-yeon is Jeon Do-yeon is Jeon Do-yeon. What more do I need to say?"

Sol Kyung-gu worked for the third time with director Byun Sung-Hyun in "Kill Boksoon" after "The Merciless" and "Kingmaker". He said, "I think I like director Byun Sung-Hyun's movies and scenes. There was no reason not to. The staff of "The Merciless" participated in "Kill Boksoon", so the teamwork was good, and I think it is the most colorful work among the three works", he said.

Director Byun Sung-Hyun said, "I didn't ask Sol Kyung-gu to appear, but I just called him, and he said the scipt must have come out and invited me home. I didn't have to say much to know he was going to do it", he said, boasting his belief but he also laughed by firmly saying, "It's not persona".

There is also a duo who heralded their fourth meeting. Jang Hyuk and Jang Nara drew attention by announcing that they will work together for the fourth time with tvN's new Monday-Tuesday drama "Family", which will premiere on the 17th.

Jang Hyuk and Jang Nara first worked together in 2002 with "The Successful Story Of A Bright Girl". Jang Nara played the role of Cha Yang-soon, a girl from Chungcheong-do, and Jang Hyuk played the role of the owner of a chaebol house with Cha Yang-soon as a housekeeper, and the drama drew attention by surpassing the highest viewer rating of 41%.

In 2014, twelve years later, Jang Hyuk and Jang Nara showed chemistry between a man and a woman who got married after accidentally spending a night together in "Fated to Love You" and in "Drama Festival - Old Goodbye", Kang Soo-hyeok (Jang Nara), became seriously ill after divorce, and Han Chae-hee (Jang Nara) time-slipped to save him.

Jang Hyuk and Jang Nara returned as a couple after eight years, signaling their fourth collaboration. "Family" is a close-knit family defense spy comedy between the husband, an NIS black agent, who disguises himself as an ordinary office worker, and his sweet and brutal wife, who dreams of a perfect family.

Jang Hyuk is an NIS black agent Kwon Do-hoon, disguised as a trading company manager inside the house, where he is of the lowest rank and Jang Nara will play Kang Yoo-ra, a multi-talented housewife who is No.1 in the house.

Regarding her fourth collaboration with Jang Hyuk, Jang Nara said, "It is very rare to meet the same actor again in various works, so I am very grateful. I think we have a good chemistry together. We work well together even if we don't have a lot of conversations", she said, raising expectations for synergy.
