*** So NICE to know this. I’m sure the PD must be happy with his works in “Saimdang”. It seems like a really interesting story. But, wait – another historical genre? SSH current drama is good & it’s doing well right now. Currently, the motto going around the K-drama industry is “3-EPs.” If a drama doesn’t get good ratings within three episodes it’s unlikely to have a good run later on. Therefore, the lead to the pilot EP is as important as the broadcast itself. SSH will always have a soft spot in my heart.

Song Seung Heon Names Favorite Female Co-Star, Is Naturally Asked About Marriage

 

 

In the January 31 episode of SBS’s “One Night of TV Entertainment,” Song Seung Heon sat down for an interview to promote his current drama, “Saimdang, Light’s Diary.”

During the interview, Song Seung Heon was asked which female actress he had the best chemistry with, to which he replied, “What should I say?” before hinting, “It was best with that person,” in reference to his girlfriend Liu Yi Fei, whom he met while filming “The Third Way of Love.” The couple went public with their relationship in August 2015.

When asked why he was attracted to her, the actor got flustered, asking, “That wasn’t in the questions, was it?” He then said, “It wasn’t during the filming, it was towards the end [that I became attracted to her.]”

Song Seung Heon was also asked about marriage, where he said, “It’s my dream to have a happy family after marriage. Although I can withstand criticism, I dream of being a great father more than a great actor.”

He added, “I’m really envious of my friends who have wives and children.”

Hope his dream comes true soon!

*** I'm happy that the drama has maintained its top position until now but it just dropped to 12.3% across the nation and 12.6% in the metropolitan area from its EP last night, Feb 2.

[willenette]

***I heard that the drama will be made free online to add momentum in viewership. "Saimdang" started out strong, with its first two episodes airing back-to-back. Ratings, however, dipped as the show progressed. The show's first four episodes will be made free to watch on SBS's website until Feb. 13. SBS will also air a special daytime episode on Wednesday to explain the story to help viewers better understand the plot and assured viewers that "Saimdang's story will begin in earnest from episode five.

Fun Facts: 7 Things To Know Before Watching “Saimdang: Soulmates Across Time”

After much delays and anticipation, Seoul Broadcasting System’s (SBS) latest blockbuster Korean drama, “Saimdang: Soulmates Across Time” (aka “Saimdang: Light’s Diary”, 사임당: 빛의 일기), made its premiere on Oh!K.

Based on the the life of Joseon-era artist Shin Saimdang, who is the first woman to appear on a South Korean banknote (50,000 won), the fusion sageuk (historical/period) K-Drama stars an all-star cast of Lee Young Ae, Song Seung Heon, Choi Jong Hwan, Oh Yoon Ah, and Choi Cheol Ho. Expectations are through the roof as this marks Lee Young Ae’s first small screen appearance since “Dae Jang Geum” in 2003.

Source: Antara News

The 30-episode drama follows a Korean art history lecturer named Seo Ji Yoon (played by Lee Young Ae) who discovers the diary of historical figure Shin Saimdang (also played by Lee Young Ae), a genius poet-artist from the Joseon-era. She then tries to unravel the secrets behind a mysterious portrait drawn by Lee Gyeom (played by Song Seung Heon).

In order to prep you for the K-Drama, here are some fun facts about “Saimdang”:

1. Who exactly is Shin Saimdang?

Source: Naver

Born in Gangneung, Shin Saimdang was raised in a household full of daughters (she had 4 younger sisters) and as her father was a government official, she managed to receive an education that was not common for women during the Joseon-era. As an artist and painter, her artworks boast lively and delicate colours. Some of her favourite themes include landscapes, flowers, butterflies, grapes, and fish. But she is more than just an influential artist and calligrapher; she is also a dedicated mother to 7 children and South Korea’s maternal icon. Dubbed the “original working mother” or “wise mother”, she was the mother of the Korean Confucian scholar Yi I.

“A working mom and an artist, raising 7 children… trying to realise her art and take charge of running the household. I imagined there would be a lot of emotions brimming underneath,” said scriptwriter Park Eun Ryeong (of “Saving Mrs. Go Bong Shil” fame).

2. Lee Young Ae pays tribute to her 2005 hit movie, “Sympathy for Lady Vengeance”

Source: Soompi

Before Lee Young Ae tied the knot with her Korean-American husband, the actress starred in “Sympathy for Lady Vengeance” (친절한 금자씨), a thriller helmed by prolific director, Park Chan Wook (of “OldBoy” fame). In the well-received movie, she played Geum Ja, a woman who seeks revenge after serving time in jail for a murder she didn’t commit.

As a tribute to her iconic character, she can be seen wearing a retro dress and big sunglasses in the latest stills for “Saimdang”. A staff from the drama explained, “Lee Young Ae will be going from one extreme to another as she acts as both the noble Shin Saimdang and the charming Seo Ji Yoon. Please look forward to it.”

3. Song Seung Heon on filming with his idol, Lee Young Ae

Source: korea.com

Song Seung Heon, who has been acting in television shows since 1996 (that’s 21 years!), revealed that he, like all Korean men, is a mega fanboy of his co-star, Lee Young Ae, since her “Dae Jang Geum” days. And because of that, he made many NGs (No Good) takes during their first shoot together.

“I believe we were shooting our first scene together. I was so nervous, I kept messing up. I couldn’t say my lines properly. I kept asking myself, ‘What’s wrong with you?’ It felt like I returned to my rookie days as an actor. My heart was beating so fast. It’s become a memory filled with many on-set mistakes,” he explained.

4. It marks young actors Park Hye Soo and Yang Se Jong’s first sageuk drama

Source: Soompi

Up and coming actors Park Hye Soo and Yang Se Jong will be playing the younger versions of Shin Saimdang and Lee Gyeom respectively. While Park Hye Soo, who is best known for her participation in “K-Pop Star 4” (2014), made her acting debut in 2015 through “Young-Pal” (용팔이), Yang Se Jong’s first television role Do In Bum in last year’s hit K-Drama, “Romantic Doctor, Teacher Kim” (낭만닥터 김사부).

This marks both stars’ first historical drama and their parts are very important to the development of the 2 leads’ love story. “The scenes that show Saimdang and Lee Gyeom’s childhood are very important. That’s when they go through a crucial event that changes their lives, and it’s also the beginning of a lifelong relationship between the 2. Park Hye Soo and Yang Se Jong portrayed the scenes very well in a unique, yet stable way. Please look forward to it,” explained the drama’s production team.

5. It took about a year to film the drama

Source: SBS

“Saimdang” is 100% pre-produced by Creative Leaders Group Eight, who is known for producing other mega hits like “Boys Over Flowers” (꽃보다 남자) and “Princess Hours” (궁). The drama was filmed for almost a year and because of that, it managed to capture all 4 seasons – spring, summer, autumn, and winter – which is uncommon in K-Dramas. In a sense, this element is similar to “Dae Jang Geum”, which spans across 54 episodes. On top of that, the drama was filmed at many picturesque sites around South Korea such as Hwallaejeong Hall (lotus pond) in Gangneung, Gangchon Rail Park in Chuncheon, and Mulle-gil (waterway of Bukhangang River) in Gangwon-do.

“We did our best to film this drama and I hope that viewers will not miss out on any of the episodes. In the first episode, there is a picturesque scene filmed in Firenze, Italy. This will allow viewers to see the harmony between East and West. There are elements of fantasy that transcend time between past and present which I think is quite interesting,” Lee Young Ae explained.

6. Director Yoon Sang Ho hopes that the drama will score as well as “Descendants of the Sun”

Source: Drama Beans

During a press conference, director Yoon Sang Ho (of “Bride of the Century” fame) expressed high expectations for “Saimdang” and his hope for it to become as popular and successful as “Descendants of the Sun”, a pre-produced drama that stars Song Joong Ki and Song Hye Kyo.

He said, “Many people had doubts about ‘Descendants of the Sun’ before it became a big hit. Personally, I think it’s really well-made, and I’m envious of the drama for being a positive precedent for pre-produced dramas. It’s good news for us though. I’d like our drama to do as well as ‘Descendants of the Sun’ did, and hopefully pre-produced dramas will not disappear from the Korean drama industry.”

7. It is one of the most expensive K-Dramas ever made and sold

Source: Han Cinema

“Saimdang” costs USD18.5 million (approx. RM82.1 million) to produce, surpassing “Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo”, which was produced with USD13 million (approx. RM57.7 million). According to the Korean Herald, its Chinese rights were sold to Emperor Entertainment, a Hong Kong-based company, for USD267,000 per episode. That’s a total of USD8 million!

And that’s not all – distribution rights have also been sold to at least 6 countries including US-based Netflix (at USD20,000 per episode), Japan (USD90,000 per episode), Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, and Indonesia. It was also reported that sales of merchandise and products placed in the show would estimate up to USD29.7 million.

“Saimdang” aired at the same time as Korea, every Wednesday and Thursday at 9pm, first and exclusively on Oh!K (Astro Ch 394).

On February 8, a source from the “Saimdang, Light’s Diary” crew stated, “We modified and amended the drama to speed up the tempo of the story.”

After the first four episodes were aired, the broadcast schedule of “Saimdang, Light’s Diary” was switched from weekends to weekdays, and the production staff decided that many elements required changes in consideration of the viewers.

The producers clarified that there was no special reason for their decision, as these adjustments are necessary when creating pre-produced dramas. The changes were made in order to improve its strength and flow, even if only by a little.

The production of the show particularly called for more care and caution with stars like Lee Young Ae,Song Seung Hun, and Oh Yoon Ah in its lineup. There is increasing anticipation as to whether “Saimdang Light’s Diary” will experience a boost in viewership ratings when these changes are reflected in the fifth episode.

Hi Mari, thanks for sharing this. I feel sad & bad for the drama that it suffered another blow as its competitor "Good Manager" enjoyed a steady rise in ratings.  According to Nielsen Korea, last night's episode "Saimdang" recorded a 10.7-percent nationwide viewership, dropping 1.6 percentage points from last week's episode. The show started out strong, with the first two back-to-back episodes. But the show started to struggle afterwards.

Sad to hear the bad news 

I've watched episode 5, and SSH also appears briefly. The drama is more focused on LYA. even before the episode 5 aired, they promote LYA will appear more in the Joseon era. but this does not seem to attract viewers.

I also skipped many scene of episode 5, i just watch SSH part. Sorry if I offended someone, but frankly the part where LYA appears it was boring for me.

‘Saimdang, Light’s Diary,’ though fictional, pursues truth

 

 

Spoiler

Shin Saimdang (신사임당, 申師任堂) (1504-1551), the epitome of a mid-Joseon perfect wife and wise mother, was an artist, calligraphist and poet. She was also good at weaving. She had a comprehensive knowledge of neo-Confucianism, literature and history. She was also the mother of renowned scholar Yi Yi (이이, 李珥) (1536-1584), known by his penname Yulgok (율곡, 栗谷). Many historical films and soap operas have been based on her life.

Her visage even appears on the KRW 50,000 banknote.

Recently, her story was once again made into a TV show, this time on the SBS drama “Saimdang, Light's Diary.” In the show's 30 episodes, Shin’s life is spiced up with a fictional character Yi Gyeom, with whom she forms a romantic bond at beautiful sites scattered across Gangwon-do Province.

The carefully crafted TV show doesn't only take place in the past, but also in a modern setting. Characters from the past and the present get involved in heated disputes over the authenticity of a fictional work of art called the “Geumgangsando" (금강산도) by An Gyeon (안견, 安堅), a Joseon painter. The modern character Seo Ji-yoon, also played by Lee Young-ae, is a descendant of Shin Saimdang and she's a modern-day historian who tries to solve the mystery behind the diary and a piece of drawing, presumably left by her ancestor.
 

The TV show “Saimdang, Light's Diary” is set in both Joseon and contemporary times. The art scholar Seo Ji-yoon, a descendant of Shin Saimdang, and Han Sang-hyun, a descendant of Yi Gyeom, try to solve a mystery behind relics left by the Joseon artist.

 

Although the show deals with a historical figure, the story is mostly fictional. The drama is not only staged in Korea, but also stretches out to Tuscany, Italy.

The classical literature written in traditional Chinese characters adds a bit of color to the story. As most modern Koreans have trouble reading either traditional or simplified Chinese, Hangeul captions are provided.

 

 

The historical soap opera weaves an imaginary story that brings its characters all the way to Tuscany, Italy.

Moreover, the soap opera features a lot of traditional Korean paintings, traditional Hanbok attire and other antique stage settings. In particular, the fictional painting “Mi-indo” of a beautiful woman (미인도), which the character Seo Ji-yoon acquires in Italy, set the chat rooms ablaze for its resemblance to the actress.

Another fictional work of art, An Gyeon’s “Geumgangsando,” plays a major role in the story, too, as it links Joseon-era Shin Saimdang and Yi Gyeom with the present. Because the drawing looks like classical art, it was necessary to explain to the public that it isn't an actual work of art by An Gyeon.

 

 

 

 

 

Two fictional works of art appear in 'Saimdang, Light’s Diary': 'Geumgangsando' and 'Mi-indo.'

This particular TV show deserves attention for using historical events from the 1500s and weaving them into a modern setting. It's not just a boring list of past events, either. The people from the past -- Shin Saimdang, Yi Gyeom and King Jung -- and the people from the present -- Seo Ji-yoon, Han Sang-hyeon and Min Jeong-hak -- are intricately intertwined with each other.

The special effects, often used to make butterflies in the pictures come to life, also add some visual charm to the show.

 

 

In 'Saimdang, Light’s Diary,' many scenes are set in Gangneung, Gangwon-do Province, home to the Joseon artist.

 

 

Actress Lee Young-ae holds Soohorang (right) and Bandabi, mascots for the PyeongChang 2018 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games.

Finally, when people talk about the person Shin Saimdang, it's almost impossible not to mention Ojukheon House (오죽헌) in Gangneung-si, Gangwon-do Province. This is where the historical figure used to live. The scenery of the natural vintage house in the mountains is seeable in many episodes. Gangneung is also one of the cities that will host the PyeongChang 2018 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games next year.

"Saimdang: Light's Diary" Seong Seung-heon, "I've never forgotten about you for the past 20 years"

 

 

Song Seung-heon and Lee Young-ae reunited for the first time in 20 years.

On the episode of the SBS drama "Saimdang: Light's Diary", Lee Gyeom (Song Seung-heon) and Saimdang (Lee Young-ae) met.

Lee Kyeom was furious to see Saimdang living in a run-down house. "How can this be? You should have a better life if you were going to leave like that. How could you marry someone else?"

Saimdang said, "It's no use crying about it now. What use would it be?" Lee Kyeom said, "No use? I have never forgotten about you for the past 20 years. The promises we made couldn't be erased by the 20 years. I have done everything, but you are still here with me".

"Who is this man who made you like this?" Saimdang answered, "At least I am being responsible for my life. I don't waste my life. What's heartbreaking is the boy I once knew 20 years ago is no longer. I wonder if the past even exists and it saddens me".
