Finalizing the Decision

Over the next few days, Joon-won immersed himself in the script for "Shadows in the Mist." He was captivated by the intricate storyline and the depth of the characters, especially the villain. The more he read, the more he was drawn to the role of the twisted priest, whose dark past and distorted sense of justice offered a rich tapestry for performance.

Locking himself in his house, Joon-won went through the script repeatedly, delving deeper into the psyche of the psychotic priest. He began to understand the character's twisted childhood, which made him resent women, especially mothers who were 'sinful' in nature according to him. The priest believed he was making the world a better place by eliminating women who neglected their children and tainted their surroundings.
