By William Schwartz | Published on
The production behind "On the Verge of Insanity" recently released photos of the drama's first script reading, which took place at the Changwon International Hotel. "On the Verge of Insanity" is aiming to be a realistic look at company life for aging workers. The drama has also attracted notice for being set in South Gyeongsang province, and casting a large number of locals from that area in minor roles.

"On the Verge of Insanity" is the latest drama from director Kim Geun-hong, who's best known for epic historical drama such as "Jumong", "Queen Seon-deok", and "Gyebaek". The project also marks a return for Jeong Do-yoon, whose last project was "Witch's Court" back in 2017. The icebreaking event also saw the first meeting between the leads Jung Jae-young and Moon So-ri, both legendary in their own right, whose veteran energy is expected to lead the production.
The sheer scale of the drama, with a very large number of characters, has necessitated much active preparation time to allow the various performers to become acquainted with one another. "On the Verge of Insanity" is expected to take on an epic scale with regards to modern-day office politics, and be quite unlike anything seen before in tonal fusion. The drama is expected to premiere on MBC sometime in June.
