The upcoming project by writer Noh Hee-kyung, featuring Song Hye-kyo and Gong Yoo, is making waves with its massive budget of 80 billion won.
Reported by OSEN on the morning of the 25th, the new drama written by Noh Hee-kyung will span 20-24 episodes, chronicling the growth of the Korean entertainment industry from the aftermath of the Korean War to the 1980s.

Each episode of the show is expected to have a budget of around 3 billion won, adding up to a grand total of 80 billion won for the entire series. Discussions are ongoing regarding its streaming platform, with an OTT platform being considered.
Compared to last year’s Disney+ series ‘Moving,’ which had a budget of over 50 billion won, this period drama, with its longer episodes, is poised to surpass ‘Moving’ in scale.
However, since the script is still in the works, there’s a possibility of changes ahead. Studio Dragon approached OSEN cautiously, stating that details such as the number of episodes and the budget are yet to be finalized. Fans are eagerly awaiting Noh Hee-kyung’s renowned storytelling, known for its depth and insight. Additionally, the collaboration between two top stars, Song Hye-kyo and Gong Yoo, has piqued the interest of viewers.
With expectations running high for this high-budget production, audiences are anticipating a interesting journey through Korean entertainment history, brought to life by the combined talents of Noh Hee-kyung, Song Hye-kyo, and Gong Yoo.
