The drama released by Coupang Play on June 24, "Anna" co-starred by actors such as Suzy, Jung Eun-chae, and Kim Joon-han, describes a woman from a poor family who seduces Mo, weaves one lie after another, and even Live as another person. The plot and Suzy's excellent interpretation have aroused a high degree of discussion among the audience. Originally, only the edited 6 episodes were released. Tonight, the full director's version of 8 episodes will be officially released.

Coupang Play also officially stated today that although the 6-episode "Anna" has already been broadcast, in order to respect the director's original editing direction, it will release the director's full 8-episode version in accordance with the original promise. Starting with some trivial lies, the heroine Li Yumo gradually moved towards a whole life built by lies, which also allowed her to escape poverty and become the wife of a celebrity. Suzy's acting skills in this film also made many viewers see her growth.

However, at the end of the TV series, director Li Zhurong revealed in an interview with a film magazine that Coupang Play unilaterally modified his works unilaterally, causing controversy. In addition to the known length reduction, the director's shooting intentions were severely damaged and distorted. Even the director was not informed of these contents. After learning that it was modified, director Li Zhuying asked to delete his name from the 6-episode version of Coupang Play, but Coupang Play remained silent.

Coupang Play said that it tried to communicate with the director and convey the specific modification content, but the director refused to modify it. Coupang Play edited the work according to the rights in the contract and made it still in line with the director's original production intent. However, in order to respect the director's editing direction, the director's full version will be released today as promised.

In this regard, the Korean Film Directors Association also issued a written statement to appeal to the outside world not to insult the power of directors. Even in defense of the so-called editing rights, Coupang Play was asked to formally apologize and release the director's full version of 8 episodes at the same time.
