Will Director Lee Eung Bok & Song Hye Kyo's Reunion Drama 'The Price of Confession' Happen?

In the second half of 2022, it was announced that the actress will headline "The Price of Confession" (working title), in which she will reunite with "Descendants of the Sun" director Lee Eung Bok.

However, according to a news cited by a media outlet on January 3, Lee Eung Bok, who was supposed to helm the new series, is said to be stepping down from doing the project. This is due to the conflict of schedule as the filming of Netflix's "Sweet Home" new seasons got longer than expected.
