Ironically this is actually slightly longer, with 14 episodes. Most dramas nowadays are 12 or even 8 episodes if they are on some sort of OTT

Thank you for your information, I was not aware of that. I was actually under the impression that it was still early. That's actually really impressive then, and good for Na Inwoo, he deserves it.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think for River Where the Moon Rises, it was still relatively in the early stages of filming. Pretty sure for this one, it's way too deep into the drama I think. Regardless, definitely a shit situation for everyone involved.

Director worked on Kingdom Season 2 and Moving.. Don't think he was the main PD but still very curious how this will turn out.

I know actors take time to review scripts and obviously pick and choose all the time, but when news come out and two actors have dropped the project? Are they just creating buzz and prematurely releasing articles or what's happening here?

Filming started two weeks ago it seems like..

Where did you see that? Not saying you're wrong, but I doubt a massive cast with this many stars will do a 10-20 min show with only 8 episodes? Seems more like the recent Disney+ type show where it's 8 episodes with 40 mins screentime each.

Drama info:
JTBC drama is a story about lawyers based on real legal lawsuits.

I thought plot sounds fun and intriguing.. Still would watch even if it wasn't for the leads. Good old story of "dead" crown princess coming back alive and reuniting with the crown prince. Especially when they brand it as historic version of Secret Garden with soul switching.

Confirmed to be KBS for broadcast and Disney+ for OTT

Seems like Netflix is turning more into like Disney+ for their original dramas with stronger star-studded casts but fewer episodes short series. Obviously love to see a lot of big names in one show, but also legit missing the old Kdramas with 16-20 episodes that has deeper longer stories that you get to "hang on" to for longer.

probably too expensive tbh.. massive cast and fantasy with probably a lot of cgi. death game also had a big cast with only 8 episodes. the only similar exception really is moving and that was like record breaking budget.

Great story and good performance by the cast, but Kang Mina carried this with her acting. Amazing to see her improvements as someone who followed all of her projects since 2017. She really got better project by project, notably Hotel del Luna and Welcome to Samdalri. This may be a short drama special, but I geniunely think it may be her best performance yet. I think she's really ready to be the main first lead in a standard Kdrama now.

Other similar "stacked" lineup OTT dramas like Death Game and Light Shop that's about to air only have 8 episodes as well. Seems to be the trend for these kind of dramas. Moving was the only exception, but that was with a massive budget. I do hope this has a fast pace and a long run-time like at least 60-65 minute episodes rather than some 45-min run-time like some OTT dramas do.

Description shows some similar traits, like the pure and bright character, but in a Sageuk setting, and in what's been revealed so far, seems like more of a "serious" historical drama rather than a comedy one, so I'm pretty positive Sejeong would show a different side in this one.
Both Sejeong and Tae-oh are known to have great chemistry with their partners, so I'm also really keen for this one!

This was in the works and unreleased way before that movie came out lol

Kim Sejeong and Kang Taeoh pairing 🔥🔥🔥

It's on Netflix Korea, but not for international distribution. Don't know why, but maybe Netflix will pick it up after show's finished broadcasting if it's well-received.

Don't know if Ji Changwook is backing out or not or if him and Park Hyungsik are playing different characters, but regardless I'm still super excitied. Dramas with big casts and budgets like Moving and Death Game were some of my favourites in the last year.

There's a reason why the original is special, but people need to go in to adaptations/remakes with a fresh mind, because if not, you're only going to watch and look out for things to criticise and dislike. It's a story based off of the original, and there will be things they change, things they will keep the same, so you're never going to be 100% satisfied if you're comparing it to the original episode by episode, or minute by minute.
