Here's a fun piece of news on Kim Ha-neul. On the set of ""Road No. 1", KHN has acquired a new nickname given by cast and crew - "Supper Iris" or "Snack Iris". The nickname came about as filming in the last six months was gruelling, if not unbearable, given the frigid winter and harsh terrains. Ever so thoughtful, KHN would always bring with her a variety of snacks like muffins and coffee to the set to make filming more palatable. And so the nickname "Supper Iris" or "Snack Iris".

Based on the article above, shooting for the fiercest battle in the Korean War, the battle of Dabudong, has completed.

The Korean War started on 25 June 1950 when the North Korean Army crossed the 38th parallel and launched what they dubbed as the "Liberation of the Fatherland War". Out-numbered and out-manoeuvred, the unprepared and ill-equipped South Korean troops (before reinforcements from US and UN forces) were pushed further south by the invaders.

In August 1950, the North Korean army crossed the Nakdong river and threatened to take Daegu. At that time, North Korean troops had occupied all of the peninsula except for the territory south and east of the Nakdong. South Korean and allied forces had taken up defensive positions on three hills near the town of Dabudong, northwest of Daegu. The battle lasted 55 days and resulted in 27,000 deaths before the North Korean forces made a retreat. The battle of Dabudong became the single most devastating battle in all of the Korean War in terms of human lives lost.

To recreate the battlefield, filming was done in Yeongam county (home of the Korean F1 Grand Prix, the first ever) in South Jeolla province. Over two weeks, actors dugged deep and filmed at the endless stretches of trenches. Actor Yoon Kye Sang for one, was most surprised by and impressed with the vast expanse of trenches, the long hours of filming notwithstanding.

Here's the chinese translation of the story above.

The cast and crew spent 10 days (and not two weeks as translated earlier...apologies) filming round the clock at a ranch in the southern part of South Korea. The battle scene will be aired in episodes 5 and 6

电视剧《Road No.1》真实再现朝鲜战争中的大邱战役

大型战争历史电视剧《Road No.1》的演员结束了朝鲜战争中最大一次决战的拍摄工作。

据悉，这场大战当年发生在韩国大邱。《Road No.1》中有很多展现战争的场面，而在大邱发生的这场战争可以说是很有名的一次战役。据了解，这次战役是在韩国南部一个牧场中拍摄的。为了抓紧时间赶进度，摄制组和演员都是彻夜加紧拍摄。

经过工作人员和演员的共同努力，大家终于在10天之内完成了这场战争的拍摄任务。为了突出战争的真实性，苏志燮不顾危险，真实地再现了当年的真正场面。制作公司说：这场战争将在电视剧的第5,6集播放，大家能够像看电影一样感受到真实效果。【TVDAILY=崔准溶记者】

(Articles are auto-translated. All mistakes are mine)

Some main news points culled from the above articles:

Filming will be completed on 12 June (before the S Korea vs Greece World Cup soccer match I suppose ) and it's full steam ahead in post-production work (e.g. adding CGs to the battle scenes)

To achieve greater realism for the battle scenes, actor SJS survived filming in harsh conditions such as freezing winter temperatures, falling rubble and bouncing bullets. In the process, SJS suffered cuts and bruises during filming. In one particular incident, his face suffered minor burns.

Actor So Ji Sub injured during filming

Some additional news points to those mentioned earlier:

SJS suffered frost bites while filming in winter. A rep from SJS's agency said:" To accurately portray the pain and sufferings of the soldiers at war, SJS insisted on doing all the stunts himself without the use of any body double. As such, he suffered quite a bit during filming. However, he relished the challenge as SJS is one actor who likes to push his own limits."

网易娱乐6月12日报道 （编译/三三）投资130亿韩元的MBC战争剧《Road No.1》在即将播出之际，剧组坦言由于战争场面很多并且天气条件恶劣，主角和配角们都一直在受伤，尤其是男主角苏志燮在冬天拍摄时手脚都被冻伤，打仗场面时也多处有皮外伤不止，拍摄炮火戏时更受火伤但一直强忍拍摄，敬业精神让人佩服。

为纪念韩国战争60周年，MBC即将推出的大型战争片《Road No.1》备受关注，该剧由苏志燮、金荷娜、尹继尚等主演，讲述围绕历史上“6.25事件”下，当时的为维护国家而战的士兵们爱情和友情的热血故事。苏志燮饰演的李长宇一角虽然是贫民出生通过努力成为了人人敬仰的军官，有着固执的强硬性格成为战争里的英雄人物，但面对爱人时则是温柔细腻的男子。

为了拍摄出剧中大量打斗和战争场面的真实感，演员们都亲身上阵拍摄出最逼真的效果，但也因此难免受伤。像苏志燮便一直隐瞒受伤情况，坚持拍摄，据悉最初展开拍摄时正是韩国连续暴雪的恶劣天气，苏志燮手脚都被冻伤，其后拍摄的打斗戏身体也多处擦伤，但最严重的是近日公开的炮火戏剧照中，不顾一切投入拍摄的苏志燮实际上面部和身上都被火烧伤，他所属公司的负责人说：“因为苏志燮希望演绎出真正战场上士兵们的痛苦，所以真实拍摄的时候直接自己上阵不用替身，他本来就是个喜欢新挑战的演员，为了拍好这部剧的确吃了不少苦。”

《Road No.1》是曾执导过《天国的阶梯》的李长洙导演和曾执导《狗与狼的时间》的金进民导演联手之作，由作家韩志勋编写，即将在6月23日晚MBC电视台首播。

Just for fun (Jisub oppa)

[Guest shuky]

Hey sonicklism, that was hilarious

Anyway, SJS has left a message on 51K to mark the completion of filming. Here's the translated message from SJS's bar at tieba baidu: (All translation mistakes are mine)

Road No. 1 的最后拍摄已经完成了.

Filming for "Road No. 1" has completed.

现在甚麼想法也没有.

只想到很大幸并没有发生很大的意外.

再过点时间才会有切实的感受吧

I don't have any thoughts right now.

I'm just grateful there's no major accidents during filming.

I would feel more after a while.

6 个月以来和演员们, 工作人员融为一体

辛苦的时间也好, 危险的时间也好, 快乐的时间也好,

常宇伤心流泪的时间也好, 这一切将会变得很想念吧.

For six months, both cast and crew have worked as a team.

In tough times, dangerous times,

happy moments or when Jang-woo is sad and in tears,

these will now become a memory

现在想到将会很快和大家一起与常宇见面,

很期待, (心情)非常激动.

Very soon, I"ll meet you as Jang-woo

I'm very excited and looking forward to it.

我

能走到这里遇到好的作品也好,

能够继续做喜爱的演戏也好,

也是因为多得大家常在同一位置里为我打气, 支持.

For me

To be able to pick good scripts and be involved in noteworthy productions

and to be able to continue what I love doing best - acting

Is because of you, who have been unwavering in your support and encouragement

苏志燮.

So Ji-sub

* In the scene as witnessed by visiting fans, SJS was slapped by his superior in the army and was kicked in the chest a few times. Even though SJS had layers of sponge to cushion the impact, fans were wincing and felt his pain.

MBC's 13 billion won Korean War epic has completed 100 percent of filming on 12 June. Two-year in the making, cameras for the serial started rolling in January this year. After six months of punishing filming, PD Lee Jang Soo has this to say:" I've originally planned to complete all the filming I've intended to do. I'm grateful all the staff and actors have strength of steel."

One of the main actors So Ji-sub said:" The long journey has finally ended and I'm grateful no major accidents happened during filming." (*For SJS's full message, pls refer to the above )

Actress Kim Ha-neul added:" Six months is not a short period of time. We've been so caught up with shooting that it doesn't feel it's over. As an actor, the drama allows you to go through a wide range of emotions and in turn stretches your limits and grow as a performer."

*Actor Yoon Kye Sang also left a message. However, I can't quite figure out google's translation except that he said the actors and staff have established a strong bond and rapport during filming. If you can understand Korean and have the time and inclination, do feel free to add your translation to the article. Thank you so much!

The drama hits the small screen on 23 June.

Hey folks, here's the translated article from dramabeans:

Road No. 1 Wraps Filming

The drama is a week and a half from its premiere, but already MBC’s Road No. 1 has completed all the filming on its 16 episodes. The production wrapped on June 12 and is now in post-production, meeting its goal of being 100% done with shooting prior to broadcast.

I’m a little annoyed that the reports gave away the details of the final shoot, so here it is under spoiler notice for those of you who don’t want to know what the ending involves.

The war results in an unavoidable separation of the drama’s leads — no doubt referring to the characters played by So Ji-sub and Kim Haneul — and they finally meet again after sixty years have passed. As the war broke out on June 25, 1950, that places the last scene in contemporary times. [/END SPOILER]

Director Lee Jang-soo said, “I really wanted to finish filming ahead of time, as planned from the start. I’m thankful for the staff and cast, who followed me with stamina of steel.”

Star So Ji-sub said, “Finally, this long six-month run has ended. I’m glad now that filming is over, but I also feel pretty sad. I’m really grateful that we were able to finish without anyone getting badly hurt and without accidents.”

His co-star Kim Haneul siad, “The six months I lived as Soo-yeon have felt pretty long. Because I’ve gotten so deeply into her character, it doesn’t feel real that we’ve ended. This is a drama that gave me a lot of experience and broadened my horizons as an actor. I’m looking forward to the first broadcast with excitement.”

Yoon Kye-sang said, “It feels like just the other day that filming began, but it’s really passed by swiftly. This drama will last in my memory for a long time. Since it’s the final shoot, it would have been nice for the other actors who were part of the troops to have been part of it, since all worked hard together.”

Road No. 1 premieres next Wednesday, June 23.

(Article's auto-translated. All mistakes are mine)

On 14 June, the cast and crew of MBC's upcoming Korean War drama, "Road No. 1", held a wrap party in a restaurant in Yeouido, Seoul. According to the report, So Ji-sub (*can't see him in the photo though), Kim Ha-neul, Yoon Kye-sang and Son Chang-min attended the party. The article also mentioned 250 veterans were there at the party. I'm not sure if it means Korean War veterans. If so, I think it's a thoughtful gesture.
