Actor Song Joong-ki announced his divorce from Song Hye-kyo during the drama airing. How will the unprecedented move affect the 54 billion won masterpiece 'Asdal Chronicle'?
The TVN Saturday drama "Asdal Chronicle" (played by Kim Young-hyun, directed by Park Sang-yeon and directed by Kim Won-seok) which is currently airing has produced noise due to problems such as staff treatment before the start of the drama. In addition to this, after the airing, it was necessary to listen to the criticism of viewers with the completion that did not meet the previous production cost of 54 billion won. Apart from the acting of Actors, the background of playing made them question their acting, and they have been revealed throughout the airing that they were based on the "adoptive era", but they have not been able to properly match the times. In addition to this, suspicions of similarity with many dramas such as 'Game of Thrones' and 'Rome' have been raised.
In this situation Song Joong-ki added "negative issues": an unusual release of the divorce at a time when the drama was airing. Park Jae-hyun, a lawyer for Song Joong-ki, said, "Our law firm received an application for divorce settlement on behalf of Song Joong-ki on the 26th at the Seoul Family Court. In addition, I will convey the official position of Song Joong-ki as follows. "He informed the divorce before Song Hye-kyo. Blossom Entertainment, a subsidiary company, also said, "Song Joong-ki and Song Hye-kyo are in the process of divorce after a careful settlement and decided to finish their marriage."
Late last year, rumors of a feud between Song Joong-ki and Song Hye-kyo flowed out. At that time, there was a disagreement between the two people over the problem of the second generation and the work activities, and the conflict that led to the conflict led to the two people. In the industry, the two people have already been talking about the feud since the end of last year, and recently Song Hye-kyo has been caught on the camera minus the wedding ring, adding to the suspicion of the feud.
In addition, Song Joong-ki has already lived in his acquaintance's house since the beginning of the shooting of the "Asdal Chronicle". The production team is likely to have known Song Joong-ki's divorce news in advance; it is common to inform the production team first about privacy issues because of Yi Gi. However, TVN avoided the correct answer and asked to distinguish the privacy of Actor from the "Asdal Chronicles".
The schedule for the "Asdal Chronicle" is not hindered. The remaining four episodes are released because of Yi Gi, which has already been filmed. "We've already finished filming, and regardless of Actor's privacy, the show will be on its original schedule," tvN said, "but the chances of Season 2 are getting slimmer. It is the "Asdal Chronicle", which is known to have already set out for Season 2 before the start, but it is slowing because it has not received the expected response of 54 billion won. It is a structure that can not make a profit properly with only season 1, but it has not made a decision because it has the burden of season 2.
The influence of the divorce announcement was also given the "Asdal Chronicle". Studio Dragon, the maker of the "Asdal Chronicle" on the 27th, felt the aftermath of the news of Song Joong-ki Song Hye-kyo, when the share price fell 1.43% from the previous day. I wonder if there will be an influence on the ratings here. Although the divorce of the two is an extraordinary issue, the ratings of the "Asdal Chronicle" are falling by 7%, recording a 5% audience rating (Nilson Korea, paid households, and national standards). Some expect a rebound in ratings due to issues, but broadcast officials predicted that "the impact will not be great."
Song Joong-ki and Song Hye-kyo were born as 'Song and Song Couple' through KBS2 drama 'Dawn of the Sun' which was pre-produced in 2015 and broadcast from February to April 2016. There have been several rumors of love, but they have denied it all. But Song Joong-ki and Song Hye-kyo, who signed a hundred-year anniversary in the celebration of many fans and colleagues on October 31, 2017, were considered to be the couple of the century. But a year and eight months later, he was destroyed.
