Dramas Draws Attention with Production Accidents and Delays

Published on 2017/12/28 | Source

Popular dramas are being postponed due to lack of time. The first drama to do this was the tvN drama "Prison Playbook". Two episodes on the last week of December are being replaced with specials and short dramas.

Next is "A Korean Odyssey" that incident during broadcast that resulted in an episode cut short, a consequence of trying to complete an episode in a short period of time.

The KBS 2TV weekend drama "My Golden Life" with a viewing percentage of 40%, will be airing specials on New Year's Eve. It turns out even "My Golden Life" was running out of filming time.

With continued accidents and broadcast postponement, critics point out that there is a problem with production planning and implimentation. Some argue that pre-production cannot be an alternative because of the fact that nature of domestic drama is shaped by the real-time reactions of viewers.

Dramas may need to be made more slowly and carefully to ameliorate the problemss arising in production. These problems are not new, but they certainly are prolific and dangerous.
