After the rejection of Han So Hee and Ryu Jun Yeol, offers are now out to Bae Suzy and Kim Seon Ho for upcoming webtoon based mystery thriller drama “Delusion.”
It is interesting to note that Bae Suzy was the first choice for the female lead. However, she denied due to scheduling conflicts. Now, according to soompi, she is again considering to star in the drama.
Kim Seon Ho, who earlier starred opposite to Bae Suzy in “Start Up,” is also currently considering to star. Hope they both confirm, as it will be really exciting to see them together again.
“Delusion” which is set in the 1935 Gyeongseong and 1800s Shanghai, will tell the story of a painter who gets commissioned to make the potrait of an attractive yet mysterious woman. As time goes by, the painter gets involved in mysterious events and he becomes more and more curious about the woman’s identity. However, he soon gets seduced by her.
According to the webtoon the story goes like this: It’s 1935 in Gyeongseong, and struggling artist Iho Yun has been commissioned by the reclusive, elderly Madam Jeonghwa Song to paint a portrait. Madam Jeonghwa Song allows Iho to set eyes upon her — an unprecedented event — and standing before him is a young woman. But why does she ask him to paint an elderly version of her? “Don’t finish the portrait.” Tucked between the previous artist’s paint tubes is an ominous letter. Iho learns that no artist has left Madam Song’s abode alive or of sound mind. Just what is she hiding and what will happen if Iho finishes the portrait? (Source)
