As a result, the film has a dreamlike flow that doesnt bear much interrogation.
Dont ask why, just go with it, laughed Lee.
Originally, the script was a [straight] drama, said Lee.
‘Killing Romance’LEAFF
It was a really good script, but I was doing something else.
Then the project didnt happen, and the production company came back with the script.
They didnt change anything, but they told me I could do whatever I wanted.

So, I decided to make it as a fairy tale.
So, I always say, What if…?
Theyre the magic words.
Anything goes from that point.
The audience in Korea, they hate it, or they love it, said Lee.
After the film got released, within two hours the Golden Egg got cracked.
It was the fastest film to crack the egg.
And thatsnot good the egg is supposed to stay intact!
That had never happened before in Korean history.
Lee credited social media for this change of fortune.
I used to think Tweeters were evil, he said, but people on Twitter start loving this film.
And I say, No.
Every day I get, like, 80 to a hundred DMs, but I answer everything.
Im so thankful to them.
