Watch: “The East Palace” Director And Cast Share The Stories Behind The Series’ Production In Making-Of Video

“The East Palace” has unveiled a new making-of video!

“The East Palace” follows the story of Gu Cheon (Nam Joo Hyuk), who can traverse the world of ghosts, and Saeng Gang (Roh Yoon Seo), a court lady with the ability to hear ghosts, as they are summoned by the King (Cho Seung Woo) to unearth the cursed palace’s secrets.

The newly released making-of video highlights the meticulous work that went into bringing the series’ supernatural world to life, from its intense action sequences to its detailed production design.

Discussing the series’ sword-fighting scenes, Nam Joo Hyuk shared, “Since this series involves a lot of sword fighting, I spent a lot of time memorizing and practicing the moves.”

The production team also revealed the thought process behind creating the show’s spirits and otherworldly beings. The director explained, “When creating Gwi Mae or spirits from the other world, we thought a lot about how far we should go while keeping it broadly appealing and not too unsettling for viewers.”

One of the series’ key visual elements is the contrast between the real world and the Realm of Gwi. The director explained, “I wanted the two worlds to look different at first glance. We focused on color because it is the most immediately recognizable element.”

The director added, “We thought about how to make it feel like a different world. We ended up using red, amber and, later on, yellow.”

The cast members also praised the detailed production design and the atmosphere created on set, expressing their admiration for the effort that went into building the series’ unique fantasy setting.

Highlighting what viewers can expect from the story, Nam Joo Hyuk said, “Gu Cheon’s desperate and intense fight to break the curse over the palace until the very end is a highlight.”

Roh Yoon Seo added, “As you follow and dig into the story, you will enjoy trying to discover the truth.”

“Fresh Off The Sea 3” Teases New Cast Chemistry, Bigger Missions, And Star Guests

“Fresh off the Sea 3” has unveiled several key points to look forward to ahead of its premiere!

“Fresh off the Sea” is a reality program that follows its cast as they travel across South Korea’s coastal regions for three days and two nights, showcasing scenic landscapes and local delicacies unique to each area.

Yum Jung Ah returned for the new Season 3, joined by new cast members Kim Sun Young, Kang You Seok, and Roh Yoon Seo.

1. The New Four-Sibling Cast’s Chemistry

The biggest change this season is the introduction of the show’s new “family” of four siblings. Yum Jung Ah once again takes on the role of the dependable eldest sibling, while longtime fan of the show Kim Sun Young joins as the second sibling. Kang You Seok, who is currently filming a project with Yum Jung Ah, and Roh Yoon Seo, who has previously worked with each of the other cast members, round out the new family. According to the production team, the four displayed effortless chemistry from their very first meeting, quickly forming a strong bond.

The staff also shared that laughter filled the set—not only while the cast tackled physically demanding work and prepared meals, but even during their breaks. With the motto, “Anything for our viewers!” the cast’s nonstop banter and unexpected mishaps promise a fresh kind of fun unique to Season 3.

Newly released character posters further highlight each cast member’s distinct charm, introducing Yum Jung Ah as the “generous captain,” Kim Sun Young as the “easygoing and quirky second sibling,” Kang You Seok as the “playful and cute third sibling,” and Roh Yoon Seo as the “optimistic youngest sibling.”

2. Larger-Scale Missions And Bigger Harvests

While the show’s signature concept of harvesting seasonal ingredients and cooking in the midst of beautiful natural landscapes remains unchanged, Season 3 promises an even more unpredictable journey. From the very beginning, the cast will face surprising fishing expeditions that leave them completely caught off guard.

With unexpected twists around every corner, the cast reportedly kept their bags packed at all times, ready to move whenever necessary. The production team teased that this season will unfold in ways unlike previous installments, saying viewers may even find themselves thinking, “This isn’t the ‘Fresh off the Sea’ I remember!”

The scale of the labor has also been taken up a notch. This season features everything from harvesting large quantities of sea squirts to collecting Gyeonnaeryang stone seaweed, a rare variety that can only be harvested for about 15 days each year. The cast will venture across mountains, fields, tidal flats, the ocean, and even rivers in search of seasonal ingredients, capturing the demanding process in vivid detail. Another highlight will be Yum Jung Ah’s signature home-cooked meals, prepared after each day’s hard work.

3. An Exciting Lineup of Special Guests

Special guests will also make the season even more exciting. This season, Cho Jung Seok and Park Hae Joon will appear as guests. Cho Jung Seok previously worked with Yum Jung Ah in the film “Hit-and-Run Squad,” while Park Hae Joon recently starred alongside Yum Jung Ah and Kim Sun Young in the drama “Love, Take Two.” Park Hae Joon also shared the screen with Kang You Seok as father and son in “When Life Gives You Tangerines,” making viewers even more curious to see the chemistry they’ll showcase in a variety show setting.

“Fresh off the Sea 3” will premiere on July 30 at 8:40 p.m. KST on tvN.

Kim Myung Soo Dishes On His “Love In Sync” Character, Cast Chemistry, And More

Kim Myung Soo has shared more insights into his character Cha Eun Hwan in the upcoming drama “Love in Sync.”

“Love in Sync” is a romantic comedy that follows a woman who refuses empathy and a man who carries too much of it. When they begin to share one another’s emotions through a surreal phenomenon, the two gradually come to understand one another and grow together.

Kim Myung Soo plays Cha Eun Hwan, a man whose exceptional ability to empathize leads him to carry the emotional burdens of others. A professional counselor, Cha Eun Hwan earns the trust of his clients through both his expertise and easygoing charm. However, despite helping others navigate their feelings, he struggles to look inward and confront his own emotions.

One day, after experiencing an “emotional transfer” with Yoo Ji An (Kang Min Ah), he is forced to face the wounds he has long kept buried.

When asked to describe Cha Eun Hwan, Kim Myung Soo chose the three keywords “flawless,” “empathy,” and “cool.” He explained, “Cha Eun Hwan is a professionally flawless character, and because he works as a counselor, he has a strong ability to empathize with others. On a personal note, I think he’s cool because there are many moments where he helps Yoo Ji An.”

Speaking about what drew him to the role, Kim Myung Soo shared, “Most of the roles I’ve played in the past have been relatively heavy, so I really wanted the opportunity to show a romantic comedy this time. I found the idea of sharing and transferring other people’s emotions very interesting, and I was also drawn to the relationship between Cha Eun Hwan and Yoo Ji An.”

The actor also revealed the effort he put into portraying the character. “There are aspects of Cha Eun Hwan that are similar to me, but there are also differences, so I read the script many times,” he said, explaining how he worked to portray a character who empathizes with others’ pain while carrying hidden scars of his own.

To bring the drama’s emotional details to life, Kim Myung Soo spent a great deal of time discussing scenes with his co-stars. He expressed his appreciation for the cast, saying, “Kang Min Ah and Kwon So Hyun were so deeply immersed in their emotions that I felt it elevated the quality of every scene.” He also shared that the filming atmosphere was warm and cheerful, adding, “There was never a shortage of laughter on set.”

Wrapping up the interview, Kim Myung Soo remarked, “‘Love in Sync’ is a drama with great chemistry—not only between Cha Eun Hwan and Yoo Ji An, but among all of the characters.” He added, “The backstories of the main characters are one of the key points to watch, so I hope viewers enjoy the series.”

“Love in Sync” will premiere on July 4 at 10:50 p.m. KST.
