When it came to directing hit dramas, few did it better than director/producer Kim Jong-hak. The same man that brought to us beloved dramas like "Faith" and "Sandglass", was found dead in his studio. Though the exact cause hasn't been confirmed, all signs are pointing to suicide. Traces of butane gas was found in his studio along with a will left behind for his family. The will expressed his apologies to his family as well. In the past, Kim had even been investigated for alleged embezzlement regarding the lack of proper payment being made
out to the cast and staff of the drama "Faith". Some sources close to Kim have gone as far as to say that they believe this was a big reason behind Kim's mental stress. In addition to "Faith" and "Sandglass", the late director also was behind "Daemang", "Eyes of Dawn", and "The Legend".
