Published on | Source
A one-hour documentary about the production of the hit drama "Revenge" is being produced by a Korean production agency at the behest of Japanese satellite channel So-net Channel749 run by Sony Communication Network Corp, a subsidiary of global electronics giant Sony. The documentary includes interviews with the drama's producer Park Chan-hong, writer Kim Jee-woo, and cast members Uhm Tae-woong, Ko Joo-won, Han Ji-min and So Yi-hyun.
A source from the local production agency said Thursday that the documentary is being produced to coincide with the broadcasting of "Revenge" on So-net Channel749 from April.
"It is very rare to make a special documentary for a Korean drama", he said. "The Japanese company is also showing keen interest in an event celebrating the release of the director's edition of "Revenge", which will be organized by the drama's fans on March 5 to coincide with the release of the DVD. It also plans to cover this event to make another special program".
"Revenge", which aired on KBS2 TV from June until April of last year, failed to achieve a high viewer rating, but was hailed as one of the best dramas, sending lead actor EOm to stardom and generating many enthusiastic fans.
