Director Jung Dong Yoon, along with Park Seo Joon, Han So Hee, and Claudia Kim, shared their thoughts on the series' success:
Director Jung Dong Yoon said, "Creating Seasons 1 and 2 with such talented actors and staff was a truly memorable experience. I'm even happier that both works have climbed together in the global rankings. I ask for your continued interest and love."
Park Seo Joon commented, "Gyeongseong Creature made me reflect on things that remain unchanged despite the changing times and on living together with others. I'm grateful and happy that the intense two years spent as Tae Sang and Ho Jae have been conveyed to the viewers around the world."
Han So Hee remarked, "I am both sad and relieved that the two-year journey has finally come to an end. I'm happy and amazed that we're living in a time when we can introduce Korean works to so many countries. I'm curious about how people from different perspectives will view Gyeongseong Creature, and I hope our hard work pays off. Additionally, since this work has opened up a path for me as an actor, it feels even more meaningful."
Claudia Kim shared, "The task of portraying Maeda was a challenging one, as it required emotional restraint while also conveying a great deal. Maintaining the performance while expressing and maturing those emotions over an extended period was not easy, which is why, looking back, this work remains even more rewarding. I think Maeda will stay with me for a long time. Thank you to those who watched and loved Gyeongseong Creature."
Seasons 1 and 2 of Gyeongseong Creature are streaming exclusively on Netflix.
