[08.08.19][news] Strongest Chil Woo wraps up filming despite bad weather


Despite having to compete with the Olympics broadasting concurrently, KBS2 drama Strongest Chil Woo finally wraps up filming of the last episode in poor weather conditions.

More than half of the filming for the drama was done outdoors in the sweltering heat that went above 30 degrees Celsius and in torrential rains, causing frequent delays and cancellation of filming. The filming of Episode 20 late last week wasn't any different. The filming schedule had to be pushed back due to the rain and the cast members falling sick as a result. However, the cast and crew pushed on despite the obstacles to put in their best until the end.

A spokesperson from production company Olive9 said, "There were many outdoor scenes and it was tough for the cast and crew in such bad weather conditions. We've basically wrapped up filming, which was really tough in the heat and rain, but everyone was in good spirits, though with some sadness, to finally finish the filming of the drama.

The last episode of Strongest Chil Woo airs tonight at 9.55pm on KBS2.
