Set up next month on Tvn, Pleasure of not knowing you It tells the story of a national actor once loved and a thin journalist who has passed the prejudice and builds an unexpected love story. Lee Jung Jae interprets the top star im Hyun Joon, while Lim Ji Yeon plays Wi Jung Shin, a political journalist reassigned to the entertainment desk.
On August 31, the cast filmed the scenes at the Jamsil Baseball Stadium during the LG Twins game against Kiwoom Heroes. From 5:20 to 17:40, the production crews occupied both the field and the stands, with a reporting notice that asked fans to understand. Lee Jung Jae even launched the first ceremonial shot after the shooting wrapped.
However, many fans have expressed frustration. A shared participant, “I soon came to look at the players warm up, but it was so chaotic because of the filming of the drama. I also tried to avoid the cameras, worried that my face could be shot.” Clips of players who are interrupted during heating have also fueled online criticisms, with comments such as, “Their routines were broken”, AND “Because of filming, the team lost today.”
In response, the production team stressed that the recovery times, the contents and access to the staff had been completely coordinated with the baseball club in advance. They also ensured that the faces of the members of the public would have been blurred or modified to protect privacy.
This is not the first obstacle for Pleasure of not knowing you. The announcement of the casting previously triggered a heated debate on the gap of great age among the leads, with some Netizen saying that he would damage the dive. Others criticized the drama for entrusting an abused theme “Showbiz Romance”.
The cultural critic Kim Heon-Sik observed, “Casting alone no longer guarantees success. Even if the actors are popular, if the story lacks depth, the spectators do not look. The drama must go beyond a love story of entertainment at the surface level and explore real struggles, growth and healing to resonate with the public.”
