when was this drama actually filmed? and why was it released so late ?
There was a lot of pre-production work that had to go into this show before they could start filming. Actors needed training for fight sequences, horseriding, archery and fencing. Locations needed to be scouted and the set design and props department needed source or make all the little details that populate a scene to give it the right lived in experience. The costume department needed to design and make all the clothes where street clothes wouldn't cut it - think the delicate embroidary on the royal garb, getting the tailoring right on the uniforms, making all the insignias and medals and accessories necessary. All the artwork that goes into the world building had to be created. Music had to be written so it was on hand for the key scenes where it is ingrained into the story (Parties, dancing etc). All this takes time.
Based on what we have already seen, the delay was worth the wait.
Yeah, I think the pacing was a little too fast.Charan getting the mission, arriving in London, meeting everyone…
I understand them wanting to truncate the London scenes in order to be able to move the story forward to Emmaly where most of the action and plot needs to take place. They needed to build to that catalyst moment at the end of the episode to spur the story along. Shows like this don’t really have time to meander too much in preamble and back story.
Having said that, ep 1 did what it needed to do. We got the introduction and meeting of our main pairing, a set up for initial conflict in their dynamic, and teased the situation back in Emmaly that will drive the rest of the story. I think as first eps go, this is solid.
Does anyone know where you read the manhwa? I am still so confused.
I've downloaded Manta, and they have it on there. You can read for free most Manhua's (including this and the New Recruit / Employee), but they limit how many chapters are available per day. I have signed up temporarily to read the ones I want. It has Semantic Error as well
There is a metaphor here I think in the characters of JungHyun and TaeYoung. JungHyun represents the fear and doubt that JungWoo feels after suffering a setback in his career as a writer. TaeYoung represents his desire to start writing again and his hope that he can write and be published again. JungHyun keeps holding JungWoo back, in the way a writers own self doubt can. But if JungHyun wants to remain a part of JungWoo’s life, he needs to stop being a blocker stopping him from writing, and instead become a voice of constructive criticism to make the work better.
