In a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly, “Master Sol” actor Lee Jung-jae expressed his disappointment at the news while praising creator Leslie Headland’s direction and production of the script and characters.
“As you know, my character died in season one,” Lee told Entertainment Weekly. “So I wouldn’t be in Season 2 if there was one. But personally, I really like Leslie’s writing. I think she’s a great writer and director in terms of storytelling, Very talented at creating characters and creating meaningful structure in the story so I’m personally really looking forward to watching the second season with her at the helm.
Despite Master Thor’s passing, Lee hopes the prequel-era show can be revived in the future.
“I was personally surprised to hear the news,” Lee continued. “Honestly, I hope that might change in the future. Because you never know what’s going to happen. So, personally, I really hope that we get to see more of Leslie’s story in season two.
