Lee Sun-kyun claims that this is the first part he's taken with a highly exaggerated image- the theatrical poster for "Killing Romance" features a giant absurd portrait of his character shirtless. Lee Sun-kyun claimed that the experience was quite enjoyable. Lee Sun-kyun said that he was able to get quite close to his chaacter personally, and also suggested that many people also helped to get the hair and moustache just right.

Lee Sun-kyun cited Duran Duran and David Bowie as original models for his hair but believed that the final version fits his character better. Lee Sun-kyun said that the hair embarrassed his children, as he had to wear it for a month before fiing began. Lee Sun-kyun claimed to feel a little empty when filming was over and he finally removed his eyeliner. Lee Sun-kyun said there was even talk of having his character appear on the third season of Mr. Trot.

Lee Hanee had strong praise for her co-star as well, describing his character as unprecedented. She said his work was so strong that she started to worry about which sequences might be cut in editing. "Killing Romance" will premiere in South Korean theaters this coming April 14th.
