The main focus while directing ‘Chaebol Director Kim Jae-hong explained, “I focused on making it harmonious and comfortable to look at while not losing the genre as a very pleasant and refreshing cider investigation and the flex of Jin Yi-soo, a third-generation chaebol detective.”

He continued, “Rather than making it stand out in terms of directing, I wanted to make it a pleasant mystery story that can be watched comfortably for an hour.” I thought it should be comfortable and fun.

Fortunately, I am personally very satisfied because the results of our communication appear to be harmoniously and comfortably captured on screen.”

At the beginning of the broadcast, many viewers expressed dissatisfaction with the setting of the female protagonist, Lee Kang-hyun (Park Ji-hyun). The immersion in the drama was broken because she found fault with Jin Yi-soo (played by Ahn Bo-hyun) and was constantly irritated from beginning to end, and the police organization showed worse reasoning skills than the chaebols, leading to people calling her a 'nuisance heroine.'

Regarding this, director Kim Jae-hong said, “I respect the public’s judgment about the character’s likability. “In the beginning, we wanted to express the conflict between the main characters as a relationship in which they gradually open their hearts to each other, and if viewers were dissatisfied with the character settings during this process, I think it was due to the lack of directing in the process of implementing the text into video.” Accepted.

Regarding the production of Season 2, “The writer and I have a great love for ‘Chaebol Thanks to the support and love from many people, I think we will be able to see Season 2 of ‘Chaebol “I will try my best to bring you a deeper and more interesting story,” he pledged.
