MBN’s weekend drama “Missing Crown Prince” has shared a new making-of video!
“Missing Crown Prince” is a romantic comedy set in the Joseon era about a crown prince who is kidnapped by the woman that is set to become his wife. While on the run for their lives, romance winds up blossoming between them. The drama is a spin-off of “Bossam: Steal the Fate,” which set a new record for the highest viewership ratings in MBN history.
The newly released making-of video reveals behind-the-scenes footage from several emotional scenes in the drama’s previous episodes.
In a crucial scene from the drama, Hong Ye Ji and Kim Noh Jin dive into a medicine experiment to assist Jeon Jin Oh’s recovery. Amid their endeavors, EXO’s Suho and Hong Ye Ji share an excited embrace after stumbling upon a hidden memo in the experiment notebook that holds the key to successfully concocting the medicine. The actors and director refine the scene through extensive discussions as they strive for natural movements and reactions, with the director suggesting that Suho hold the notebook higher so Ye Ji can see it clearly. Laughter echoes on set during these behind-the-scenes moments, enriching the final scene with a genuine sense of camaraderie and delight.
In another sequence, Suho and Kim Min Kyu display their professionalism and dedication while acting out a confrontation in front of Jeon Jin Oh, who has just recovered from poisoning. Both actors approach the scene with seriousness and commitment, ensuring a flawless execution. Behind the scenes, lighthearted banter ensues as the director jokes about the irony of their conflict unfolding before the just-awakened Jeon Jin Oh. Amidst the laughter, Jeon Jin Oh elicits more chuckles by playfully suggesting, “Should I at least raise my hand in the scene?” However, during the actual take, Suho and Kim Min Kyu seamlessly immerse themselves in their characters’ emotions, delivering a poignant performance.
A standout moment from the previous episode occurs when Jeon Jin Oh reunites with Suho in a tearful scene. While preparing for the scene, the actors meticulously discuss their emotions and dialogue, ensuring authenticity in their portrayal.
