Director Yu Seon-dong said on the day, “We returned with stronger counters and demons than in Season 1. Please look forward to the development of cider.”
Director Yoo said, “At the beginning of Season 2, when I met with the cast, I said, 'Season 1 has been successful, so I won't settle down properly. The set for season 2 will be more difficult than season 1,' he said. In fact, there was action every day. Everyone was enthusiastic about it. I am confident that the action, exhilaration, laughter, and emotions are more powerful than Season 1.”
When asked how he felt about getting back together as 'Counters', Byung-gyu Cho said, "From the first filming of Season 1 to the last filming of Season 2, I was so happy and had only good memories. It was. Looking back and looking back, it was only a time when I was so happy."
Yeom Hye-ran said, “The audio kept interlocking, so the director had a lot of trouble. It was that good,” he laughed, and Ahn Seok-hwan said, “I was able to breathe like a Korean family member. As an older person, I filmed happily.” Thank you,” he said.
Kim Hee-ra, who once again became a villain, said, “It is an intense Gelli role following Isara. So, people around me were concerned. I did a very intense Lee Sara, but I wonder if it feels similar. But the director said there was nothing to be afraid of. Isara and Gelli's environments, warriors, and stories were different. Above all, aren’t the writers and directors different? With the mindset that it would not be the same, I freely expressed it externally this time. I wanted to become muscular, so I gained weight and gained muscle. I made an external effort,” he said confidently.
However, the allegation of school violence against Jo Byeong-gyu has not been completely resolved. After the end of 'The Wonderful Season 1' in February 2021, Cho Byeong-gyu was caught up in suspicion of school violence. At the time, Cho Byeong-gyu and the agency appealed for regret about the allegations and proceeded with legal action. Some of the revelations were cleared due to a defamation complaint, but the author of the revelation, who lives in New Zealand, did not respond to the police's request to enter the country and could not finish it.
Jo Byeong-gyu said, “I really did my best until I called it not true. In fact, I am still doing my best. I am doing my best to draw a conclusion,” he said. Then, he said, “So I devoted myself to acting more evil.”
He carefully said, "It's not a personal place, it's a 'Gyeongsomun 2' production presentation," and said, "It's a work that the director, staff, and fellow actors put a lot of effort into. I hope you send a lot of love to the drama today.”
