Despite the Netflix series featuring two top stars, the upcoming K-drama brought disappointment due to the inconvenience it reportedly caused while filming the series.
Park Bo Gum & IU's Drama 'You Have Done Well' Receives Complaints From Locals
As mentioned by a media outlet, a post in an online community gained the attention of Koreans after a local complained about a filming site for an upcoming series. It was later revealed that the project was for IU and Park Bo Gum's new drama, "You Have Done Well."
In an online post, the uploader recalled the experience and said that they came to see the Gochang Green Barley Field Festival. Unfortunately, it was near the location of the filming season, and they were barred from entering due to the ongoing filming.
Besides being forbidden to enter the vicinity, the visitors were also blocked from taking photos of the canola flower field.
"A staff member blocked me and said, 'You can't go in here because we are filming a drama,'" the post said, adding, "It was so far away that the naked eye couldn't tell who was filming."
On the other hand, Sports Today reported that the location where the filming and festival took place was a private area. The production team reportedly had a contract agreement with the owner regarding the shooting of "You Have Done Well."
Meanwhile, the Gochang-gun Office, which organized the festival, was unaware that a filming session was also held on the same day.
