On the morning of June 5th, at the Ambassador Seoul Pullman Hotel in Jung-gu, Seoul, the production press conference for the Netflix original drama 'Mercy for None' (written by Yoo Ki Sung, directed by Choi Sung Eun) was held. Director Choi Sung Eun shared his satisfaction with the casting choices.

Describing the cast lineup as “unbelievable,” Director Choi emphasized, “Especially So Ji Sub was the casting choice most desired by fans of the original work. I’m glad he accepted the role. Personally, I was very curious about how So Ji Sub would portray Nam Ki Joon’s expressions and emotions.”

He continued, “The other actors were also the best possible casting choices. As a director, having such talented ‘ingredients’ allowed me great creative freedom in making the show.”

'Mercy for None' is a noir action drama about Nam Ki Joon (played by So Ji Sub), who severed his Achilles tendon and left the world of the square. After the death of his younger brother Ki Seok (played by Lee Jun Hyuk), once the second-in-command of an organization, Ki Joon returns after 11 years to uncover the truth behind the incident and seek revenge. The series consists of seven episodes and will be released on June 6th.
