Hey, just a heads-up for anyone watching this drama, there's been a serious controversy during filming. The First Night with the Duke faced backlash because the crew damaged a UNESCO World Heritage Site(Byeongsanseowon Confucian Academy) by hammering nails into the wooden pillars of the historic building to set up props and lighting. This site is protected under international and national heritage laws, and damaging it isn’t just disrespectful… It’s illegal. UNESCO sites are places with outstanding cultural or historical value to humanity. They’re supposed to be preserved exactly because they hold centuries of cultural memory and identity. Damaging them for entertainment or convenience is not just careless but t's a violation of global heritage. As a result of this, the production team received huge backlash, a formal complaint was filed, some scenes might be cut, and KBS had to apologize. Authorities are even investigating the staff for breaking heritage protection laws. I’m not saying don’t watch the drama, just wanted people to be aware of what happened behind the scenes. I also feel bad for actors…
I cried sm I thought my head is gonna explode
