Will ”Thank You” starring Park Bo-Gum and IU, which cost 6.2 billion yen, become a success story?

The TV series "Thank You" has finally been unveiled. The series, which was completed with a budget of 60 billion won (about 6.2 billion yen), was a success, unlike the other big productions that have received harsh report cards recently.
On the 5th, the production presentation of the Netflix series "Thank You" was held at the Conrad Seoul Hotel in Yeouido, Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul.
Director Kim Won-seok, IU, Park Bo-Gum, Moon So-Ri, and Park Hae-Joon attended the event. Director Kim Won-seok, who was in charge of directing the film, said, "From the beginning, I wanted to create something that would appeal to the grandparents' generation,
This TV series was planned as a dedication to the parent generation and as encouragement for the child generation. The invisible walls between generations, between genders, and between people are getting bigger, but I made this with the hope that they will break down even a little.
He continued, "I once asked the writer if it had to be Jeju. The story is that Ae-seung wants to go to the mainland, but it's not easy to leave.
The setting was that there was little hope for life on the island, so it was important that it be set on an island, but he thought that the special beauty of Jeju would emphasize the pain.
"I think it was the best choice because it is one of the most important elements of our TV series," he said. The production costs must have been very high since it includes the four seasons of Jeju Island.
In response to rumors that the production costs of The Incredible Hunger Games were spent on the project, director Kim Won-seok said, "I honestly don't know the exact amount, but it's true that we spent a lot of money on it."
Director Kim said, "I also know that if the production costs are high, it doesn't help the audience. It seems to be a Korean characteristic, but
"People are worried about us. They're saying, 'We could make a few more TV series with that production budget,'" he said. "We're trying to make the situation as realistic as possible in order to make it more realistic.
"There are actually a lot of VFX that are more real than the real thing," he said. "I know very well that it costs a lot of money just to build an open set.
"The set has changed with the times up until 2025, so it cost a little bit of money. There were also expenses incurred to create it so that people would feel like they were there."
Recently, the 50 billion won (approximately 5.2 billion yen) production "Because the Stars Are Rumored" attracted a lot of attention but ended in a bitter defeat. Other films that were released with high expectations failed at the box office.
Unlike the works that were criticized for being compared to the cost, people are paying attention to whether "Otsukaresama" will be able to do its best. "Otsukaresama" will be aired every Friday for one month starting on the 7th, with 4 episodes each.
It will be made public.
