The TVing original 'Great Escape: The Story', which will be released for the first time on July 23rd (Wednesday), is a suspense adventure that has returned with a dense worldview and a story on a different scale with new escapists.
'Great Escape: The Story' has been hot since episode 0, which was pre-released on the 2nd. Immediately after its release, it ranked fourth in YouTube's In-class (popular soaring video) and surpassed 1 million views, and there were numerous comments on the likes of new members and chemistry with original members in various communities, realizing its explosive popularity for the new season.
Producer Lee Woo-hyung, who took over the new head of the extraordinary 'Great Escape: The Story' from the beginning, said "I'm grateful for many people's interest even before the start, but I feel a lot of pressure." At first, I know it was not easy to find a director because it was a program with so many bone marrow fans. "I was worried that this would break the legacy of the 'Great Escape' series, which I liked so much, and eventually I took the courage to come forward."
Regarding this season's failure to be named as the Great Escape 5, the subtitle "The Story" means a story on the big axis" that was intended to be put into this season. The synergy between the Great Escape format and the story will be felt this season, raising expectations.
In particular, this season is drawing attention with the combination of original members Kang Ho-dong, Kim Dong-hyun, Yoo Byung-jae, and NEW members Ko Kyung-pyo, Baekhyun, and Yeo Jin-gu. In response, PD Lee Woo-hyung "While filming, I felt that the experience and concentration of the original members were clearly different. In particular, the level of immersion was really different, he said. "Kang Ho-dong shed tears and fell into it to the point where it was difficult to proceed."
In addition, regarding the newly joined members, the most important criterion in recruiting new members was 'immersive', and fortunately, all three of them showed great play in their respective areas"There were members who solved the quest as well as Yoo Byung-jae, and there were others who showed the appearance of a leader of action more than anyone else." There are also people who show a twist over time, so I was confident that each color was clear and the combination was good, so I had my own charm this season. "
In addition, 'Great Escape: The Story' was also pointed out. He said "The Great Escape" was already a four-season program, so it was piled up like a previous question of what topics viewers likedBased on this, we studied elements that could be more interesting, and as a result, it led to a genre called 'Suspense Adventure'. I think it's going to be an overall atmosphere that runs through the season."," he said, making him even more excited for the first reveal.
Finally, PD Lee Woo-hyung thinks the biggest difference between the series and the story is getting more and more interesting as the episode progresses""If you enjoy it on the other hand, there will be fun that is newly discovered in the relationship between the characters."" He then came up with the new fun that came out of familiarity and worked on the production. I'd appreciate it if you enjoyed watching it"I expressed my sincere feelings.
'Great Escape: The Story' will premiere on July 23 (Wednesday) at TVing.
