Studio Dragon , the powerhouse behind the potential new drama featuring Gong Yoo and Song Hye Kyo , has chimed in regarding the buzz surrounding production costs.

Recent reports stirred speculation, claiming that the upcoming project by writer Noh Hee Kyung could rack up a hefty 3 billion won (around $2.2 million) per episode, with a whopping total budget ranging between 80 billion won to 96 billion won (approximately $58.2 million to $70 million) for 20 to 24 episodes.

However, Studio Dragon swiftly clarified the situation, emphasizing that the production is still in its infancy, with many details yet to be ironed out. They stated, "The drama is in early planning stages, and specifics like casting and episode count remain undecided, including production costs."
