Chapter 279: A Flame That Couldn’t Become a Star (2)
The premiere of Kyungsung Lady received mixed reactions.
Though the film had recently generated buzz, Director Baek Min's works were known to be divisive.
Artistic merit, creative direction—while these were valuable aspects, his films often lacked mainstream appeal.
That was the general perception of Baek Min's films.
Some actors sought out roles in his projects due to their artistic value, but most commercially driven actors tended to avoid them.
"This time, it's different. I'm telling you."
"You said that last time, too."
"But this time, an American actor took interest! Japan even proposed a simultaneous release!"
"Yeah, yeah, which is exactly why we're here."
Film critic Kang Yuseok responded indifferently to his colleague, Lee Seokhoon's passionate words.
It wasn’t that he undervalued Baek Min’s work.
If anything, he held it in high regard.
