I have seen clips online and the shows with Gong Yoo look great. Unfortunately it is not available on Viki UK . Wish Viki could sort the licenses for more variety shows like this and Running Man.
I love Bangtan and believe these kings deserve their success. As a fan I do like the show but feel that BH has just montetized the same 2018 tour through these different versions of documentaries. The DVDs of the tour were positive event though it showed the boys struggled, gave an interesting look at what the tour worked and their reception to the fans overseas.
Now this series has more depth and shows more of our boys struggle and mental wellness beings. I can't help that this could have been put in the same first documentary that was released to give a more balanced view of what how hard BTS worked on that tour instead of charging 17 pounds to watch one episode of a revamped doc with parts there were omitted from the first one.
I like this general idea for this article but this remake will not work as the movie and a lot of its connotations are rooted in the African American experience. Sure, there could be a shot by shot remake and the actors you have picked are awesome. But I am not sold on this as a potential idea.
Great article @3GGG! My favourite technique is the 'reinforcing' one- I spotted this in the dramas you mentioned and also in 'Fight My Way'. When watching Sky Castle, I noted that the director uses a myriad of techniques, there a lot of out of focus or mirror image shots - as a media studies and english literature graduate, I am ALWAYS looking for second layer meanings. It would be great to have an article on the shots used in Sky Castle :)
