They lied about 2nd half of 2023 lol. They changed it to first half of 2024 now ?
Are we sure it’s 2024? ???
Ikr, at this point I don’t care which one comes first, I just need one to release.
The concern about including real names in fictional stories arises from the possibility that the audience might misunderstand or misinterpret the narrative. The creators are being careful to ensure everyone sees the story for what it is – just a fun, made-up story. They want everyone to enjoy it without getting the wrong idea or thinking it’s something more serious.
For example, just a few months ago, someone asked in this comment section whether this is their real story or not. So, for fans or those with little knowledge about BTS, it’s evident that this is not their real story. However, considering that the drama will also be watched by general drama fans who may not know BTS or have any idea about the story material, they’ve decided to remove the real names and replace them with the webtoon character names to avoid any future misunderstandings.
It’s worth noting that people nowadays love to take things out of context, and the creators are proactively addressing this by making these adjustments to maintain a clear and enjoyable viewing experience.
Well i hope this is coming out in 2024.
I am 99% sure the only reason it isn’t being released is because of the whole Web 3.0 Distribution thing they’re trying to establish. Instead of releasing it on a streaming platform they’re trying to create their own semi-crypto way of releasing the show, which I’m sure is both hard on the side of the developers and also consumers… I really hoped this show would end up on Disney+ but oh well…?
I just found out about it recently by browsing the comment section here, because I wondered why the drama hasn’t aired yet. I also thought since they based it on the webtoon it shouldn’t be a problem. Well…
Ik there was a problem with the characters names and with Covid buttt that was all almost 4 years agoo
Ugh omg? thanks for the info. But I’m hoping it just goes to an easy accessible platform like Disney+ !!!
