In case you all missed it, here's a wrap up on what's been happening so far (if you're not bothered to go through the previous posts):

 

Update 24/02

 

  • The King Loves will air on the Mon/Tue slot, from July to September. (may change)
  • A total of 20 episodes. (may change)
  • Looks like they're currently filming episode 8!
  • All 3 main leads had interviews (Japanese) for the drama.

 

 

These are all the HQ (as high quality I could find) photos/stills released so far [under spoiler]:

The people at the korean forums I go to seem to be very anti-bangs for some reason. Especially, Lin.  ohdearplz.png

 

Also I don't think anyone translated the interview Ok Booyoung's actor did on Facebook so here's a summary:

  • Drama will have it's own charm that separates it from the book
  • The main theme of the drama will be how love can manifest itself in many forms (not just romance)
  • She's heard that MBC has high expectations for the drama

 

 

THANK YOU for the interview ahmagahplz.png Tbh, I quite like the hairstyles! It's so much better than I expected ahmagahplz.png

What's that supposed to mean?

 

Confirmation of the time/date slot for the drama.

 

The scheduling for the Mon-Tue dramas:

 

MBC 

Rebel: Thief Who Stole the People 2017/01/30 to 2017/05/09 (Currently Airing) / 30 Episodes

Lookout May 2017 (~ 2017/05/15 to 2017/07/04) (Next Up) / 16 Episodes

The King Loves July 2017 (~ 2017/07/10 to 2017/09/12) / 20 Episodes

 

I calculated the dates for Lookout and The King Loves using the number of episodes to help me. There may be slight changes if MBC decides to extend or cut episodes off Rebel or Lookout. 

 

 So it looks like the pilot episode might air on the 10th of July! Mark your calendars rlytearpls.png

Oh I'm talking about KBS' schedule haha I thought it would be Perfect Wife -> PSJ/KJW drama in May -> Green Spring in July

Ohh I see, I said May because in early Feb, the dramabeans article on Green Spring said it was set to air in May http://www.dramabeans.com/2017/02/seo-kang-joon-confirms-webtoon-adaptation-from-a-distance-a-green-spring/

 

Maybe it's changed now 😊

yeah I think the article about PSJ's drama came out later, but maybe nothing's set in stone yet and it's indeed the other way round lol

 

Yeah. The broadcasting channels always change slots around 0u0plz.png so we'll just have to wait.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Question everyone:

 

Do you think 20 episodes isn't enough? ohdearplz.png The drama has about 3 books of TKL to go through. I don't want the drama to be fast paced nor slow paced...

Lmao i thought the same thing,

After reading the summary i thought at least it needs 24, but idk anymore since they also make adjustments in the story for the drama. I guess it's enough to develop main plot in a right pace.

Maybe less emphasis on the side characters? I really hope the script is good rlytearpls.png

She looks so beautiful ahmagahplz.png QRLGYBO.png

 

Possible spoiler from the location director's instagram

I can't believe he actually went to a desert. I thought for sure they were going to cut/edit that scene.

 

 

Dan looks adorable!

 

And I think TKL takes place during a similar timeline to Moon Lovers? Don't quote me on that though.

 

It's meant to be the Taklaman desert! Not much of a spoiler. Spoiler is if we say what they were doing there harharplz.png

BUT YESSSS PLEASE DESERT SCENES!!! 

 

 

July srems so far away but at least on summer break i have more time so I'll make sure to watch this

 

 

 

Sent from my SM-J105H using OneHallyu mobile app

 

Yes, for that reason I'm thankful it's in July. I have summer break then, too!

 

Maybe, they also made the three main characters encountered an event in their childhood,that doesn't seem to be in the book tho?

I just hope they don't add too much unimportant scenes just to make the the story more entertaining, which is also the reason i stopped watching moon lovers (i'm not into that kind of humor lmao)

 

Same *praying* no irrelevant scenes please scriptwriters!
