During an interview with News1 about A Bloody Lucky Day, Lee Jung Eun shared behind-the-scene stories about the actors and filming. As an actress who is best known for her roles in Parasite (2019), Mr. Sunshine (2019), The Light in Your Eyes (2019), When the Camellia Blooms (2019), and more, she is a senior actress who many respect.
When asked if she had any guiding princess as a senior, Lee Jung Eun shared that she feels the need to try her best because of her juniors who watch her.
There are many juniors who quietly watch my path. I thought to myself that I should always have my head on straight. It’s important what kind of processes you go through as a senior. Although the results may change to be result-oriented, I think it’s the part about the process that juniors empathize with and want to learn from. I hope to continue that in the future.

His studying and analyzing must have paid off because his psychopathic acting was so good—that it gave Lee Jung Eun chills.
Lee Jung Eun first commented on Yoo Yeon Seok’s acting in A Bloody Lucky Day, which differed from his previous roles.
Yoo Yeon Seok has a cool demeanor. I saw him in melodramas or when he played Goo Dong Mae in Mr. Sunshine, but this time, he accomplished his acting without exerting any dynamic force.

She got chills when she heard he created an ad-lib, which was not in the script.
I heard that the scene where Yoo Yeon Seok makes a ‘V’ while looking at the Black Box camera was his idea. It was to the point where one could be suspicious he really has those tendencies. I got the feeling that he enjoyed playing the antagonist, and he seemed to have a thirst for new challenges.
