Director Lee Byung-hun has suddenly withdrawn from Kim Eun-sook's new work 'All Will Be Fulfilled'.

On the 27th, Netflix stated, "Director Lee Byung-hun has stepped down from 'All Will Be Fulfilled' for personal reasons," adding, "The post-production of the work is being carried out by specialized staff under the responsibility of the production company."

Netflix further stated, "We apologize for not being able to provide detailed information regarding the timing and reasons for the director's departure."

While Netflix cited "personal reasons," there is skepticism in the industry, as it is often the case that directors suddenly leave due to conflicts with writers or key cast members.

'All Will Be Fulfilled', which has completed filming, tells the story of a genie with overly rich emotions and a woman who releases that genie, revolving around three wishes. Actors Kim Woo-bin and Suzy lead the cast, along with Ahn Eun-jin, Noh Sang-hyun, and Ko Gyu-pil.

'All Will Be Fulfilled' is written by Kim Eun-sook, known as the 'Midas touch' for her numerous hit works such as 'Secret Garden', 'Mr. Sunshine', 'Goblin', 'Descendants of the Sun', and 'The Glory', and directed by the versatile Lee Byung-hun, who has directed films like 'Twenty', 'Extreme Job', and the drama 'Melting Me Softly', garnering significant attention from the production stage.

However, attention is focused on whether the post-production will proceed smoothly following Director Lee Byung-hun's sudden departure.
