Cast Synergy and Message of the Story
The Killing Vote presents a narrative of how people are given option to vote a chosen crime offender who evaded justice. But a “mask man” leads a public vote to serve the punishment the crime offender deserves.
When asked how the viewers would be able to connect to the story, the lead stars convey their thoughts.
Working together, the lead stars had nothing but praise for each other and the pleasant filming atmosphere. They also reveal the challenges as well as other side stories.
“The chemistry was better than any other work. It was the second series I worked on with actor Park Sung-woong. The atmosphere on the set was good, and perhaps because of the characteristics of the genre, we had no choice but to think about each other more, worry for one another, and become close. If there were any challenges, it was hard to fight the extreme cold and heat. Please watch the behind-the-scenes along with our series. You can feel another type of fun and liveliness on set.” – Park Hae Jin
“It was a thriller, so I didn’t get stressed out. Rather, I was able to concentrate more by immersing myself into my character, and it was my second time with actor Park Hae-jin since Man to Man, so I could communicate with him just by looking at each other’s eyes. It was my first drama with Lim Ji-yeon, but she’s a veteran actor, so I had a lot of fun working with her. It was my second time working with director Park Shin-woo and cinematographer Lee Chang-jae having filmed the movie White Night previously, so I filmed without any difficulties.” – Park Sung Woong
“I was happy to work with many actors, including Park Hae-jin and Park Sung-woong. The series is a little heavy and serious, but once the camera turns off, the atmosphere becomes friendly. I was better able to portray my character Joo Hyun because I was able to film in a good atmosphere with the cast.“ – Lim Ji Yeon

How this drama got me so hooked is magical!
It took me a while to finish this drama because I really didn't want it to end. "From Now On, Showtime!" is a hilariously silly comedy but there's also the perfect balance of romance, suspense, and heartwarming emotion. I genuinely laughed and ugly cried and truly felt connected to the cast at the end. Yes, the story is pretty well written but it's honestly the cast that makes this drama work so well. At the start of the first episode, I was not impressed and thought it would be too cheesy for me to get into. The arrogant magician meets the stubborn lady cop plot didn't have any appeal. It turns out that these characters would become way more interesting and endearing than they initially seemed, and Cha Cha Woong's "assistants" would soon steal the show, and keep me watching! This isn't just a romance with great chemistry, it's the bond between characters that got me! I won't say too much about the supernatural aspect, since the reveal is so well done, but that's also a major hilarious highlight!
Park Hae Jin as Cha Cha Woong is a cold and conceited loner who is the unlikely match for Jin Ki Joo as emotional and impulsive Go Seul Hae. These characters are extreme in order to play up the comedy, and at first, it felt like too much, but soon I grew to love their banter and they seemed perfect together. You can expect some standard romance tropes like denying their attraction, melodramatic destiny, and past life connections, but the ghost aspect of the story made this drama still feel very original. Go Gyu Pil, Jung Suk Yong, and Park Seo Yeon, much like the characters they play, are the glue that holds this story together. Their chemistry with each other and the leads are what makes this drama magical. Their comedic mystery-solving antics (later including Jung Joon Ho) are the plot of the majority of the episodes, and that was enough to keep me addicted.
They were all so good at conveying emotion too, as well as comedy, making the characters also feel memorable and real.
