The Korean drama "Happiness", starring Han Hyo-joo and Park Kyung-sik, is in full swing. On August 23, Korean media reported that a staff member of the drama crew was found to be infected with the new crown virus, and the crew announced the suspension of filming and began filming shortly after.
On August 23, the crew of "Happiness" said to the outside world: "On the 16th, in the team's self-examination, it was found that a staff member was an asymptomatic infected person with the new crown virus", and also revealed that filming had been suspended at that time, and the actors and all the staff had been tested, and all the test results were currently negative. Moreover, all those who have had close contact with the confirmed person have been isolated. So on the 18th, the shooting was restarted.
"Happiness", a golden earth series that tvN plans to broadcast in the second half of 2021, is co-created by director An Ji-ho of "The Secret Forest", "Memories of the Alhambra", "Watcher" and Han Sangyun screenwriter of "Good Wife" and "Watcher", and the two have collaborated again after "Watcher". The play is about an urban thriller that is isolated in a small apartment in a class society. With the division and fear of high-rise apartments in large cities inhabited by human settlements due to the blockade of new infectious diseases, fierce struggles and psychological battles for survival are waged.
The drama is Han Hyo-joo's return to South Korean TV drama after a gap of five years after "W-Two Worlds". In the play, Han Xiaozhou plays the heroine Yin Xinchun, a tactical officer of the police special agent team who grew up in a discordant family. She acts decisively, is not easily shaken, and is an activist who does what she says and does. Park Kyung-sik plays the male protagonist Jung I-hyun, who was originally a baseball starting pitcher and gave up his professional career due to a knee injury. After that, he became a criminal police officer of the "brain-eating faction", and his heart was obsessed with his high school classmate Yin Xinchun. In the end, the cliché is still hoping that the epidemic will end as soon as possible and let the world return to normal.
