The TV industry has also given this TV Series a high score. A person in the broadcasting industry said, "The production costs of period dramas are high, and the perception is that human dramas don't make money, so this is the first time we've heard of it."
"Up until now, TV series production companies have avoided this," he said, "but Netflix has strong capital, which made it possible to produce 'Thank You,' and it turned out to be a high-quality work that exceeded our expectations."
[Viewers laugh and cry at the ceremony filled with life] "Thank You" is a collaboration between writer Lim Sang-choon, who wrote KBS2's "Fight My Way" and "When the Camellia Blooms," and tvN's "Signal,"
The film has attracted attention due to its collaboration with director Kim Won-seok, who has directed "Misaeng" and "My Mister." The production budget is 60 billion won, and the casting of top stars IU and Park Bo-Gum has been added.
So it was a film that had to surpass the simple "anticipation" and become a hit. Despite this burden, "Thank You" received a great response after its premiere.
The story depicts the strong life of Ae-seung (IU), her process of starting a family with Kwang-sik (Park BoGum) and growing into adulthood, and the story of Ae-seung and Kwang-sik's daughter, Geum-myung (IU).
The viewers were touched and sympathized with the show. The show was full of messages such as, "There will be more painful days if you live," "Even if you get burned, it still hurts," and "If we move forward together, even 100 ri will become 10 ri."
Many famous lines such as these touched the hearts of viewers deeply. [A global hit...Through a strategy typical of Netflix]
The TV series "Otsukaresama" deals with a Korean story, but it is a story about family, men and women.
The film has been well-received both in Korea and abroad, with universal emotions such as the characters' familiar faces and neighbors' familiar faces. The American media outlet Forbes commented, "The actors' movements, facial expressions, and tones of voice change to depict a story that spans decades.
The South China Morning Post (SCMP) of Hong Kong praised the film, saying, "It is simple but beautifully written, and brings the story to life."
Jeong Deok-hyun, a pop culture critic, said, "Netflix is a global platform, but it also continues to offer local content, such as the historical zombie drama 'Kingdom.'
"'Thank You' is a work with a Korean atmosphere and background, but it also has the universal quality of being a family story, and has been well received not only in Korea but also overseas," he explained.
He added, "The density of each episode increases, so it's emotionally draining. It's more effective to split it into several episodes rather than releasing it all at once."
It was also a good decision to choose to release four episodes a week instead of the previous method of releasing all the episodes at once."
