No Hee Kyung Drama in the Making
It can be noted that No Hee Kyung [screenwriter] had announced the drama Here in 2019. It was a multi-starrer drama supposed to star Lee Byung Hun, Han Ji Min, Shin Min Ah, Bae Sung Woo, and Nam Joo Hyuk. But the project did not take off due to COVID-19 situation. The drama was supposed to be filmed abroad.
