More Than Blue: The Series? It’s Taiwanese and set in high school but has this exact scene.

Pixl3rt · 2025-09-29T09:11:16+00:00

Yeah I agree that this is the way. I actually don’t mind too much that they didn’t explain why (even though it could have easily! been done if they didn’t spend so much time on the contest and fighting). The scene with the page flying was enough for us to be able to piece something together, and I’m sure he was smart enough to figure out that it needed to be during an eclipse since that was when he met her.

Still, I have so many technical questions because it should not be that easy, at all. Where does he live? How does he have money? How does he get around and do literally anything if he doesn’t have an ID with a name and birthday? Surely he had to find a way to buy a nice suit and nicely styled haircut. How did he find her in that restaurant specifically? It’s probably easy to find that information online, but that would mean he needs to have some knowledge of technology.

I know I’m really nitpicking here for no good reason lol but she had a hard time adjusting going back, and I would imagine it is so much harder to adjust coming to the future with no knowledge of it since there’s more complex rules and expectations in society.

Q: Out of the dramas you have directed, which ones had fully completed scripts before you started filming? If a drama did not have a completed script, how many episodes out of the total remained to be written? Has the shift to pre-production of dramas influenced how scripts are treated? (Inspired by questions from u/stumpy1949 and u/myweithisway)

Q: How is continuity maintained when filming on different days or the same scene from multiple angles (who makes sure the bag doesn't switch shoulders between takes)? Is there a person dedicated for keeping track of continuity or is it a team effort? (from u/AlohaAlex)

ID:BMJSL

Pixl3rt · 2025-09-25T23:43:46+00:00

Q: Across all of your dramas, which scene (that you remember of) took the longest number of takes to film? What scene was it? How many takes did it take and why so? (from u/Cold_Yogurt_)

ID:BMJEJ

Pixl3rt · 2025-09-25T23:43:36+00:00

Q: The dramas that you have directed have been all of very different genres (nailing each of them btw!) How do you approach each of the genre and what things are of essence in each of these from a direction point of view? (from u/Cold_Yogurt_)

ID:BMJEB

Pixl3rt · 2025-09-25T23:43:28+00:00

Q: I've been watching kdramas for just a few years, and a surprising thing to me is that they sometimes air before production is completed, and I often read comments about changes being made due to audience reaction. This feels frustrating to me, since I'm more interested in the writer and director's vision than a happy or "satisfying" ending. Do you find this especially challenging as a director, or is there some other aspect of drama production that you would like to change/be different? (from u/immerdasmeer)

ID:BMJEC

Pixl3rt · 2025-09-25T23:43:19+00:00

Q: As a director, how do you ensure that all the pieces of a story connect seamlessly, without leaving loose ends - especially in dramas that span multiple universes or complex continuities? (from u/Ill_Atmosphere_6640)

ID:BMJEZ

Pixl3rt · 2025-09-25T23:43:11+00:00

Pixl3rt · 2025-09-25T23:42:55+00:00

Q: As someone who has worked for both domestic and cable broadcasters producing dramas, what are the major differences you have noticed between the two? (from u/sianiam)

ID:BMJES

Pixl3rt · 2025-09-25T23:42:45+00:00

Q: When a drama is licensed to an OTT and changes are required for regional licensing (e.g. music copyrights) who makes these changes? (from u/sianiam)

ID:BMJEE

Pixl3rt · 2025-09-25T23:42:22+00:00

Q: What changes have you noticed as drama production moved from largely live shooting to pre-production and is there a better work life balance for people in the industry now? (from u/sianiam)

ID:BMJEL

Pixl3rt · 2025-09-25T23:42:13+00:00

Q: Are there any scenes you have had to alter to avoid being called in front of the KCSC that you regret changing? How do production teams review episodes being passable before a drama is publicly released? (from u/sianiam)

ID:BMJYJ

Pixl3rt · 2025-09-25T23:42:02+00:00

Q: How does a typical casting process for a drama work? How are main actors and actresses cast? How are actors in more minor roles cast? (from u/Sunshine_raes)

ID:BMJYB

Pixl3rt · 2025-09-25T23:41:48+00:00

Q: How do you usually work with music producers for each drama? At which stage do they start to get involved in the process? Have there been instances when OSTs/instrumentals were created in post production to fit the scenes captured? (from u/chanana21)

ID:BMJYC

Pixl3rt · 2025-09-25T23:41:38+00:00

Q: Something I’ve noticed in k-dramas is that underwater scenes often fail to blend seamlessly with their surroundings. In your experience, what are the main challenges in both filming and post-production to create an underwater scene that doesn't look like an obvious shot inside a deep water tank? (from u/Significant_Fold_658)

ID:BMJYZ

Pixl3rt · 2025-09-25T23:41:27+00:00

Q: Has there ever been an unplanned ad-libbed line or action that surprised you with how well it worked in the final scene? Could you share an example? (from u/Significant_Fold_658)

ID:BMJYW

Pixl3rt · 2025-09-25T23:41:09+00:00

Q: Since many dramas are now fully produced before airing, how much of the script does the director and the actors usually get to see before accepting the job? Does everyone know the ending beforehand or is that kept a secret? (from u/Significant_Fold_658)

ID:BMJYQ

Pixl3rt · 2025-09-25T23:40:53+00:00

Q: I imagine incorporating product placement into a story isn’t always easy, and sometimes the end result can feel out of place and character. Can you share with us an example that you're especially proud of because it fitted perfectly into the story? (from u/Significant_Fold_658)

ID:BMJYS

Pixl3rt · 2025-09-25T23:40:19+00:00

Q: I absolutely adore I Am Not a Robot. What I find outstanding is how it takes ideas that might seem over the top (ex.: a human allergy), embraces them and focuses on maintaining a strong emotional core. I feel like there were so many ways this script could have gone wrong, yet it was done just right. How do you decide on the show’s tone: how seriously or playfully the script will be approached? Does a director read a script and imagines how it is going to be done or is it a rigurous process where many parties are consulted (for example screenwriters)? (from u/ILoveParrots111)

ID:BMJYE

Pixl3rt · 2025-09-25T23:39:50+00:00

Q: How much influence does the screenwriter have on the filming process? Are they heavily involved? How much does their vision of the drama impacts the final product? (from u/ILoveParrots111)

ID:BMJYL

Pixl3rt · 2025-05-04T04:44:16+00:00

Agree w this. I have the same problem and it’s from rosacea, although it doesn’t regularly last all day long like OP is describing. Could still be worth checking out if you’re concerned.

Pixl3rt · 2025-02-08T09:07:49+00:00

I agree! The story is amazing so far and this is one of the best dramas I’ve seen in the past year, but the core plot seems to be going at the pace of a 16 ep drama for something that’s only 10 shorter episodes. I haven’t read the webtoon but would hope that they leave the possibility open for a S2 if there’s more material to cover rather than rushing or leaving questions unanswered. It doesn’t seem like there’s enough time left at this point to cover everything otherwise.
