The Great King Kwang-gae-to's luxurious rebirth, Kimnyeong set of the 'TWSSG' [My Friday]8/17/07 16:09
People who love Jeju Island said. That is Mountain Hanra, ample like mother's busom, is good and elevated Oreum(fontcolor="black"> (small hills created by volcanic activities), that isembraced in its skirt, is lovely. The also told they were attracted toprimitive smell expired by dense tree forest, and deeply indulged infield that seemed like spreading green carpet. They say that sky andsea was limitlessly blue that they cannot forget, and they glad thatwind blows moderately in 4 seasons. The common point for those is thatthey are all product from Nature.
However, although the 'TWSSG'set is made by human hands, it is object of love no less than Nature inJeju. For that, power of 'Yon-sama' BYJ worked greatly of course. Theysay that number of Japanese tourists who visit the filming site to seehim amounts to 200~300 even on weekdays.
Of course number of Chinese, Southeast Asian, and domestic tourists is not slight.
Presently,inside of set prohibits general admission. Because the filming has notcompletely finished. In addition, the broadcasting date was postponedfrom original June to September this year, they have not definitelydecided on exact opening period. The set consist of, centering aroundGrand Palace, palace buildings, mansion of Yeon Karyeo(acted by ParkSangwon) who was the most powerful man at the time, & luxurious객잔?, and market streets & night market.
over 30 major buildings copying appearance of Kogooryeo's Kooknaeseongwere re-created through historical research. Highlight is definitelyGrand Palace. While yellow gold color and percian red are creatingharmony, it radiated magnificence and dignity that befitting toreputation of the Great King Kwang-gae-to. Luxurious mansions and 객잔show off faminine refined beauty.
inparticular, roof of the 객잔? was built to have rain water to drop insidecourt when it rains, and it has history of being introduced at the timeof Pusan International Film Festival last year, getting extreme praisesfrom foreign film business people.
Probably because they setplans to develop it into 'iinternational' tourism resource takingadvantage of 'Yon-sama' power from time of building designing, set isdifferent from other places. We cannot found trace of losing even ahinge on props as well as major buildings of course. It is difficult tofind spots with stripped paint or building with torn window framepaper. The building is like 'real' one to the extent that one can getin and live right now. The expense that was invested in building theset is total of 15 billion one. It is right that about 1/3 more wentinto it compared to average constuction cost for sets in the same size.
Whennight comes, the set becomes further brilliant. Because search lightilluminates Grand Palace, outer castle door and inner castle door.Appearance of reflection from color impression of primary colors ispretty brilliant. In the future, 70~80% of the drama is scheduled to befilmed here. The drama plans to air in Korean and Japan simultaneously.
