TIFF 26′ Studio – Paradise Lost “The Weight of Love meets the Touch of Evil”
We took a chance to chat with Yeon Sang-ho (Director), Kim Hyun-joo (Ryu So-Young), Bae Hyeon-seong (Ryu Sun-Woo) about the new film Paradise Lost at the 2026 Toronto International Film Festival. They stopped by our lounge to talk about the dark story and a mother chasing a memory. Bae Hyeon-seong talked about going mad and acting crazed to capture his character as an older Sun-Woo. Kim Hyun-joo talked about the grief her character So-Young had to go through and the feeling of grief and acceptance in her story arc.
