Disney+ has announced that production has begun on the popular Naver webtoon, Delusion, with the same working title.
Delusion will star Suzy (Doona!) as Song Jeonghwa, a heartbroken vampire in mourning for a love lost decades before, and Kim Seonho (The Tyrant) as Iho, a painter with a past who shows up and stirs something in Jeonghwa as she resigns herself to an empty life. The series is directed by Han Jaerim (The 8 Show, Emergency Declaration).
I’m excited to see Suzy in another romantic series after she captivated audiences including myself in Doona! Han Jaerim masterfully directed Emergency Declaration as an edge-of-your-seat thriller.
This series is the latest in announcements as part of an eagerly anticipated slate of upcoming Korean content to be released on Disney+ (Hulu in the United States).
A Shop for Killers is a series returning with a second season and one series out now is Nine Puzzles.
