A recent investigation by OSEN reveals exciting details about an upcoming K-drama helmed by screenwriter Noh Hee-kyung. This ambitious project is set to span 20-24 episodes, chronicling Korea’s history from the Korean War to the 1980s.
Notably, top stars Song Hye-Kyo and Gong Yoo are reportedly considering pivotal roles in the drama, adding further anticipation to the project.
The production of this K-drama is set to break records, with an estimated production cost of approximately 3 billion won per episode, culminating in a total budget of 80 billion won. Discussions are underway regarding the drama’s distribution on various OTT platforms to maximize its reach and viewership.
Comparisons are drawn to the Disney+ original series “Moving,” which spent over 50 billion won on production costs for 20 episodes last year. Given the extensive period and episode count of Noh Hee-kyung’s new work, industry experts anticipate even higher production costs, surpassing the scale of “Moving.”
However, Studio Dragon maintains a cautious approach, noting that the project is still in the planning stage without a finalized script. Details such as the exact number of episodes and production budget remain subject to change pending script development.
The buzz surrounding Song Hye-kyo and Gong Yoo’s potential involvement, coupled with the project’s ambitious scope and substantial budget, sets the stage for an eagerly anticipated addition to the K-drama industry.
Stay tuned for further updates as the project progresses towards fruition.
