Following the announcement of the death of Director An Pan-seok after battling brain hemorrhage, attention is turning to his final work, 'Yeon Ae (Dr.)'.

Director An Pan-seok passed away on the afternoon of the 12th due to deteriorating health while undergoing treatment for a brain hemorrhage. He was 65 years old.

Director An Pan-seok was a trusted director known for producing numerous well-made dramas, including 'Secret Love Affair' (2014) starring Kim Hee-ae and Yoo In-na, and 'My Lovely Liar' (2019) featuring Son Ye-jin and Jung Hae-in.

After presenting Lee Je-hoon's 'The Negotiation' last year, he was preparing to return to television this autumn with a new ENA drama titled 'Yeon Ae (Dr.)', scheduled for release on October 5.

He also garnered high expectations by returning to his specialty, romance dramas. 'Yeon Ae (Dr.)' is a spicy, bitter, and sweet romance about two young people blossoming in a robotics research lab: Min-jae (played by Chu Young-woo), a doctoral student who was a swimmer in high school but lost one leg due to illness, and Yu-jin (played by Kim So-hyun), a master's student who wandered after losing her direction before finding a new path.

However, this ultimately became Director An Pan-seok's final work, delivering a major shock. Moreover, since he had recently shared news that he was "recovering," the public was plunged into sorrow.
