Production
[edit]- A reunion took place on 2011 between the actors Joo Sang-wook and Park Jin-hee after filming the Giant series.[37]
- The first script reading was held on August 24, 2021.[citation needed] On November 9, 2021, the production company released site images from the series.[38]
- ^* Initially, actress Lee Deok-hee had been cast for the role of Queen Shinui, but this apparently was changed. In this drama, she portrays a mother-and-child relationship with Um Hyo-sup, again following Stranger.
- On November 28, 2021, a report was confirmed that actor Ye Ji-won had tested positive for COVID-19 on November 27, and that filming would continue as scheduled except for her appearance.[39]
- On January 21, 2022, KBS decided not to air two of the latest episodes originally set for release on January 22 and January 23, potentially due to controversy surrounding the death of a horse during filming.[40]
Controversies
[edit]On January 20, KBS released an apology for a horse's death on the set during filming of the seventh episode, when a scene was filmed showing the horse and its rider falling down. The horse's hind leg had been tied up with a wire, causing the horse to flip in the air and land on its neck.[41]
While the actor also sustained injuries, the horse died a week after the incident, generating great public outcry over animal abuse.[42]
