A crew member shared a fascinating behind-the-scenes experience through a video posted on YouTube by 장꾸룽내 Jean-Cournne, showcasing a tiny creature that added to the show’s whimsical atmosphere. This insight offered fans a glimpse into the meticulous preparations undertaken by the production team.
The individual who shared the story was a spatial designer for the production. During the narration, they revealed an impressive moment when Park Bo-gum stepped in to diffuse a potential problem without any complaint. The crew member recounted:
“The art team didn’t know and left an iPad on set and filmed it, but since Bok-ssak is a period drama, it would be a problem if a device like this got caught… They already gave the okay and didn’t know what to do, but Park Bo-gum went to the director and said that he thought his acting was awkward and asked to check the monitor, pretending it was his mistake… After checking, he told the art team that it was okay and secretly brought the iPad.”(Translation sourced from Google Translate)
