Hwang Jung-eum’s Departure from The Escape of the Seven: Resurrection After Episode 8 Sparks Questions About Remaining Episodes

Despite being previously praised as the “Queen of Mala-flavored Dramas”and achieving immense success with the “Penthouse”series, writer Kim Soon-ok’s recent works have consistently failed to meet expectations.

Despite breaking away from writer Kim Soon-ok and PD Joo Dong-min’s previous formula for success, “The Escape of the Seven: Resurrection”raised expectations with a new collaboration with PD Oh Joon-hyuk. However, these expectations were not met as the show’s performance was disappointing.

Despite making efforts to introduce new elements, “The Escape of the Seven: Resurrection”is still receiving lower ratings compared to its predecessor, “The Escape of the Seven”.

Despite the impressive cast, including Hwang Jung-eum, Lee Joon, and Yoon Jong-hoon, PD Oh Joon-hyuk announced at the press conference his goal to create a drama that would be more comfortable for viewers, taking into consideration feedback from the previous season. However, the ratings continued to struggle.

This season aimed to condemn and resolve issues, in contrast to the controversial content of the previous work “The Escape of the Seven”. However, it was unsuccessful in winning over viewers.

In the broadcast industry, differing opinions exist regarding the reasons behind the low ratings of “The Escape of the Seven: Resurrection.”Some believe it is solely due to the breakdown in collaboration between the writer and director, while others attribute it to viewer fatigue with the makjang storyline (a storyline that is considered excessively exaggerated and unrealistic).

Despite receiving mixed reactions from viewers, many expressed their thoughts on online communities, with some stating, “I was disappointed when Hwang Jung-eum left after episode 8, it has made me less interested,”while others expressed confusion over the story’s direction. Some even eagerly awaited the end of the drama, with one commenting, “I can’t wait for the next drama to start.”However, there were also concerns that the ratings may not even compare to those of the ‘Queen of Tears’ special broadcast.

How many more episodes are there in the 16-part drama “The Escape of the Seven: Resurrection”? The production cost for this drama was 46 billion won. Currently, episode 11 has been aired and episode 12 is scheduled to be broadcast on May 4th.

In the meantime, there are those who believe that the potential failure of this project could serve as a chance for writer Kim Soon-ok to embark on a new chapter in her creative journey.

With the conclusion of the drama “The Escape of the Seven: Resurrection”approaching this month, all eyes are on writer Kim Soon-ok and PD Oh Joon-hyuk to see if they can once again capture the hearts of viewers, despite the low ratings.
