Dec 18, 2022

On December 15, tvN’s upcoming drama “Missing: The Other Side 2” held an online press conference with director Min Yeon Hong and cast members Go Soo, Heo Joon Ho, Ahn So Hee, Ha Jun, Lee Jung Eun, and Kim Dong Hwi.

“Missing: The Other Side” is a mystery fantasy drama about a village inhabited by the souls of people who went missing while they were alive. After two years, the series is returning for a second season with Go Soo, Heo Joon Ho, Ahn So Hee, and more reprising their roles.

At the press conference, director Min Yeon Hong first broke the tension by joking, “If I may, [I want to] clear up a cute misunderstanding about the first season: our drama is actually a heartwarming drama.” He then continued, “In Season 1, Heo Joon Ho left a strong impression with his charisma in his first scene, so the viewers wondered, ‘Is this a scary drama?’ Our tactics to grab viewers’ attention was too intense that viewers thought, ‘I don’t think I can watch it because it’s too scary.’ However, when they uncovered the truth, many realized it’s a nice and heartwarming drama. I want to introduce Season 2 as a mystery fantasy drama that will bring you both warmth and laughter.”

Similarly, Kim Dong Hwi shared that he’s also a huge fan of “Missing: The Other Side” and instantly said yes to the audition offer because he wanted to do it no matter what. “I watched Season 1 passionately on television and had wished that I could play even a small role in Season 2.
