Actors Ryu Jun-yeol and Han So-hee decided not to appear in director Han Jae-rim's new film.

Showbox, the co-production company of 'Deception', said in a phone call with Dispatch on the 2nd, "It is true that their casting was under discussion, but it was not confirmed."

The two recently broke up just two weeks after their relationship became public. The production company explained that the casting discussions also naturally dropped

C-JeS Studios, Ryu Jun-yeol's agency, said, "It is true that the production company has paused the casting decisions of 'Deception'. Since there should be no damage to the drama, we agreed to the suspension of the casting review."

Han So-hee's agency, 9Ato Entertainment, also announced, "The casting has not been confirmed as it is in the early stages. Ultimately, we decided to not appear."

'Deception' is a mystery drama. It is based on a webtoon of the same name. It is the story of a poor artist who experiences a strange incident after receiving a commission for a portrait of a woman.

Initially, Ryu Jun-yeol was considered for the role of painter Yu I-ho. Following the movie 'The King', there was a possibility of a reunion with him and director Han Jae-rim. Han So-hee was offered the role of Song Jeong-hwa.

Meanwhile, 'Deception' is a work co-produced by Showbox and Magnum Nine, a production company directed by Han Jae-rim. Whether the series will be released is still undecided.
