Following the introductions of the main leads, the drama peeks at the intense power struggle between brothers Sajo Hyun and Sajo Yung over the throne.
First, Sajo Hyun (Park Jihoon) is a person who has not yet healed from the wounds he received from his oppressive father when he was young. Possessing a beautiful appearance and a brilliant mind, he leads a double life unbefitting a prince of a country. He hides his identity and works as a fashion designer in a low-street clothing store.
Meanwhile, Sajo Yung (Hwang Hee) is the king’s illegitimate son and the half-brother of Sajo Hyun’. Although he has a personality that is praised within the palace, he is a duplicitous person who hides a darker ambition than anyone else.
In this way, one wonders what kind of fateful battle the two brothers, each with their secrets, will engage in for the throne of the Assassination Kingdom.
Director Lee Jung-sub, who is in charge of directing, relays how all characters in the story have their dual sides.
“As I had faith in Park Jihoon that he would play two two-faced characters well, I also had faith in Hwang Hee that he would make the character ‘Sajo Yung’ into an attractive villain.”
Love Song for Illusion is scheduled for January 2, 2024, airing following The Matchmakers.
