A recent upload on the “DUBS” YouTube channel belonging to Dongguk University’s education broadcasting station featured a video with the headline “’Lovely Runner’ PD Kim Tae-yeop unveils the in-depth drama production narrative – Exclusive media lecture at Dongguk University’s Media Center.”
In the video, Director Kim Tae-yeop states, “The global influence of K-content is staggering. Consequently, the industry has expanded tremendously and is quite profitable. However, the stakes are high, as the risk of failing has also increased. Many producers prefer to stick to the tried and tested routes, which can stifle the creativity of writers”.
About the budget of “Lovely Runner,” he commented, “The show had a budget of 20 billion won. This is the standard cost for a 16-episode mini-series. It’s a significant sum. He continued, “A flop could be disastrous for many, so it’s common to opt for narratives that are ‘safe’ to bet on. Webtoons and web novels are great sources for such content as they are already somewhat proven in the market”.
Kim Tae-yeop also recalled an incidence from the shooting schedule, mentioning, “The last scene of the second episode and the thirteenth were filmed on the same day. I saw this comment once, ‘It’s unbelievable that these scenes were shot simultaneously. Is Kim Hye-yoon’s acting not phenomenal?’ I couldn’t agree more. She’s 15 years my junior, yet I have immense respect for her talent”.
