One of the most anticipated K-dramas, Delusion, which will feature Kim Seon Ho and Bae Suzy in lead roles, might have gotten caught up in trouble after the filming of the show in China had reportedly been stalled. But what is the main reason for the shoot schedule of the upcoming show being halted? Let's delve into it to know more details.
Why is the shooting of Delusion in China been halted?
There were earlier reports that Delusion had originally planned to film in China between early and mid-
October, but the schedule was entirely cancelled, and the cast is now focusing on filming at domestic locations.
As per several reports, it had raised suspicions that the decision was influenced by concerns over the controversy surrounding Jun Ji-hyun's character speaking a dialogue in the recent Disney+ series Tempest. The dialogue referred to is the protagonist Seo Moon-joo (played by Jun Ji-hyun) saying, “Why does China prefer war? A nuclear bomb could fall on the border area,” which sparked backlash among some Chinese netizens.
