Award Winning K-drama Director Ahn Pan Seok Passes Away from Cancer Related Illness and Leaves Behind One Upcoming Drama Love Doctor with Kim So Hyun and Choo Young Woo

The bad news keeps coming from K-ent this week and this one makes me so sad as a long time K-drama viewer. Award winning and famed director Ahn Pan Seok has passed away at the age of 64 years old, from illness complications stemming from his lung cancer diagnosis last year. He’s one of the most lauded of the K-drama directors with works that include White Tower, Secret Love Affair, Something in the Rain (Pretty Noona Buys Me Food), One Spring Night, and the most recent The Art of Negotiation. His talent for directing is genuinely incredible when it hits the entire drama feels so lyrical and cohesive to watch. My personal fave is actually the slow and moody One Spring Night which remains much too underrated and to me is the better sibling piece to Something in the Rain. He leaves behind one fully completed filming K-drama the upcoming Love Doctor with Kim So Hyun and Choo Young Woo which is currently in post-production and slated to air in October. Thank you PD Ahn for all the amazing works directed over the span of a thirty-five year career.
