The first installment of Along with the Gods grossed nearly NT$490 million in Taiwan, making it the highest-performing overseas market. Due to its impressive box office performance, Taiwan was specially chosen to host the Asian international press conference for the sequel, Along with the Gods: The Last 49 Days.

Journalists from Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, the Philippines, and other countries were present to cover the event, making for a grand occasion. At the start of the press conference, director Kim Yong-hwa led the main cast—Ha Jung-woo, Ju Ji-hoon, Kim Hyang-gi, Ma Dong-seok, and Kim Dong-wook—in warmly greeting the attending media, and couldn’t help but share their memorable interactions with passionate Taiwanese fans at the previous night’s red carpet event.

Ha Jung-woo noted that Korea is hotter than Taiwan, so his first impression of Taiwan upon visiting for the first time was that it was “very cool.” Ju Ji-hoon, visiting Taiwan for the second time, said he was struck by how clean Taipei’s streets were.
Kim Hyang-gi.
Kim Hyang-gi expressed surprise at having many fans in Taiwan, and was touched when many people called out her name in Korean. Ma Dong-seok and Kim Dong-wook both praised Taiwanese fans for being especially polite, which made them feel very welcomed and deeply moved.
