Bae Suzy and Kim Seon Ho are set to star in the fantasy horror drama Delusional, replacing Han So Hee and Ryu Jun Yeol. The drama, initially slated to feature the two actors, had to find new leads after the couple’s breakup. This change follows the public announcement of their separation, which led to production delays and cast replacements.
Delusional revolves around a mysterious vampire tale, split between two time zones—1935 Gyeongseong and 1800s Shanghai. The plot centers on Yun I Ho (played by Kim Seon Ho), a painter who becomes enchanted by Song Jeong Hwa (Bae Suzy), a beautiful and mysterious woman. As he paints her portrait, he uncovers her dark secret, creating a tense, eerie atmosphere.
Bae Suzy, well known for her role in Start Up, has received much praise for her portrayal of Lee Doona. Her ability to portray both emotional depth and the idol persona made her a perfect fit for Delusional. Kim Seon Ho has also shifted from rom-com roles to intense, action-packed performances. His roles in The Tyrant (2024) and The Childe (2023) impressed viewers, showcasing his versatility.
After the breakup of Han So Hee and Ryu Jun Yeol, the production of Delusional was halted. The couple faced intense public scrutiny, which prompted them to step down from the project. Both agencies announced the breakup and cited personal lives as a reason for their decision. Consequently, the production company decided to look for new actors to continue the project.
Fans eagerly anticipate the reunion of Bae Suzy and Kim Seon Ho. Their chemistry in Start Up was well-received, and now, fans are excited to see them in a new genre. The filming of Delusional will start later this year, with a potential release in 2026.
With Delusional, Bae Suzy and Kim Seon Ho are poised to captivate audiences once again. Their transformation into their new roles promises a compelling story full of suspense and drama. The show will bring an intriguing mix of mystery, romance, and supernatural elements, keeping fans on the edge of their seats.
