It is no longer possible to see two shots of actors Song Hye-kyo and Han So-hee. This is because his appearance in the drama ‘The Price of Confession’ was rejected. In the background, there was a difference of opinion with the production company regarding the direction of the work.
As a result of Ten Asia's coverage on the 17th, actors Song Hye-kyo, Han So-hee, and director Shim Na-yeon decided not to participate in 'The Price of Confession'.
‘The Price of Confession’ is a work that contains the bloody chronicle of two women surrounding a murder case. The role that Song Hye-kyo was offered was Ahn Yun-soo, an art teacher whose life changes completely when she dreams of a little happiness but gets caught up in an unexpected murder case. Han So-hee was scheduled to play Mo-eun, a mysterious woman whose identity is unknown. Director Lee Eung-bok was originally scheduled to participate in directing here, but he had to withdraw due to health reasons, and director Shim Na-yeon, who directed 'Monster' and 'Bad Mom', decided to participate as the new director.
But in the end, the meeting between the three failed. A broadcasting official told Ten Asia that the reason why the two lead actors and director left 'The Price of Confession' was because of differences of opinion about the direction of the script. The three people thought that since the overall script of 'The Price of Confession' was written three years ago, it was inevitable that it should be revised according to the times, but the production company was not willing to reconcile differences in the script revision.
Accordingly, the director decided to withdraw from the work after a lack of communication with the production company, and industry news is that Song Hye-kyo and Han So-hee also decided to make plans for the next time.
As news spread that Song Hye-kyo and Han So-hee's meeting failed, the public is also expressing their disappointment. Han So-hee previously showed her expectations for meeting Song Hye-kyo by posting a composite two-shot poster of 'The Price of Confession' on her channel. Song Hye-kyo also shared this and responded with a 'heart'. In addition, Han So-hee even left a public confessional comment on a still photo from the filming site of Netflix's 'The Glory' posted by Song Hye-kyo, saying, "It's mine now."
In the end, the meeting of Song Hye-kyo, who is gaining worldwide popularity with 'The Glory', and Han So-hee, who emerged as a popular actress through 'The World of the Married' and 'My Name', did not lead to 'The Price of Confession'. However, the two maintain a good relationship regardless of the project's failure.
Regarding this, Song Hye-kyo and Han So-hee said, “It is difficult to confirm. “Please contact the production company,” he said sparingly. Studio Dragon, known as the production company of 'The Price of Confession', took a backseat and said, "Please contact Production H regarding casting," and Production H has not revealed any official position.
With the two main actors missing, 'The Price of Confession' was in a situation where it had to find a new actor and director. The future of 'The Price of Confession' is not bright, with Song Hye-kyo and Han So-hee missing and everything returning to square one.
