South Korean dramas have continued to explore stories that blend period settings with mystery, fantasy and suspense. Adding to that lineup is Portraits of Delusion, a Disney+ series that brings Suzy and Kim Seon-ho together once again for a story filled with secrets, strange encounters and an unsettling portrait.
What is Potraits of Delusion about?
The show, reportedly set in 1935 Gyeongseong, Portraits of Delusion, follows Yun Iho, an unknown painter whose life takes an unexpected turn when he receives a commission to paint Song Jeong-hwa, the enigmatic owner of Nammoon Hotel. Jeong-hwa has reportedly remained away from public view for more than half a century, making her a figure surrounded by rumours and unanswered questions.
Kim Seon Ho plays the role of Yun Iho, an artist who initially approaches the assignment as a professional opportunity. However, his meeting with Jeong-hwa leaves him confused. Despite the passage of decades, she appears much younger than expected. She then gives him an unusual request: to paint how she might look in her seventies.
