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.”

Watch: Shin Ha Kyun, Oh Jung Se, And Heo Sung Tae Bring Intense Action To Life In “Fifties Professionals” Making-Of Video

MBC’s “Fifties Professionals” has shared a new making-of video!

“Fifties Professionals” is an action-comedy about three seemingly ordinary but secretly dangerous middle-aged men who are brought back into action by destiny. The three men, who once reigned at the top of their respective fields, find themselves exiled to the remote island of Yeongseon after a mysterious incident. There, they begin a bittersweet and comedic quest to uncover the truth about the fateful day from 10 years ago that changed their lives.

The newly released making-of clip captures the cast’s focus and teamwork on set, particularly during the drama’s action-heavy sequences.

Shin Ha Kyun is seen meticulously rehearsing his choreography during individual action shoots. Even after filming his scenes, he immediately checks on the condition of fellow actors before returning to practice his movements again.

Meanwhile, Oh Jung Se works closely with the director to fine-tune the details of his character’s movements. From timidly opening a door to awkwardly getting caught by the foot and falling, he carefully syncs each action beat to his character’s personality. In contrast to his clumsy on-screen persona, he also impresses on set by quickly mastering the stunt team’s choreography and executing the action sequences with ease during rehearsals.

Heo Sung Tae brings a lighter energy to the set, focusing on comedic ad-libs alongside co-star Lee Hak Joo.

The video also showcases the cast filming large-scale action scenes in the rain. Between takes, the three actors remain deeply focused, constantly discussing choreography, throwing themselves fully into the physical performances, and rehearsing with intensity.
