The female screenwriter could not have imagined anyone else to take on the role of Moon Ju better, because from the beginning she had envisioned Jun Ji Hyun for the role.
What I admire most about Jun Ji Hyun is his daring and instinct. I really felt like the Moon Ju that I imagined was vividly before my eyes. In the opening scene of the film, I want the audience to immediately feel the power of the character when she runs.
When Jun Ji Hyun told me, Whether Moon Ju is happy or sad, I always feel like Im on a treadmill, that was exactly Moon Ju. I was surprised how could she know that?".
