Coach Lee Ki-hyuk said, "Every human being has two sides, and I wanted to show that. "Method acting" has a brief SF, comedy, historical drama, and even a musical in one movie. I can see various genres appropriately in one movie, so I think it will be fun to gather and watch together in the theater," he said.

Director Lee Ki-hyuk then said, "Because I've been an actor, I know the air and pressure I felt on the spot. Not every scene can be enjoyable, so sometimes it's lonely, and if you put that experience into your work.. I thought it would look realistic, he said, adding, "I also included my autobiographical story. When communicating with the actors, I tried to share my thoughts as much as possible not only to the main characters but also to the actors in Jordan. When I was an actor, I was dominated by the scene, so I tried to make the scene comfortable."

During the Q&A session, director Lee Ki-hyuk explained the acting of Kim Geum-soon's mother subversive in the play and said, "My mother always sees me as her mother. I accidentally looked at my mom's Kakao Talk, and I put down the role of "Mom" and watched conversations with my friends and faced her as a human being, and it was a bit new and difficult. The hospital room scene was the only moment when Kim Geum-soon put down her role as a mother in the play and was the only human subvert," he said, shedding tears.

Meanwhile, Method Acting will be released on the 18th.
