Take Care of Us, Captain, the next SBS drama to follow A Tree with Deep Roots set sail with an official press conference.
The cast of Take Care of Us, Captain, Gu Hye Sun, Ji Jin Hee, Lee Chun Hee and Yoo Sun, attended the press conference held in Seoul on January 3.
The drama will air its first episode on January 4, and is about how a passionate co-pilot named Han Da Jin (Gu Hye Sun) advances to a pilot. Ji Jin Hee took on the role of the youngest pilot of the Boeing 747, Kim Yun Sung.
The drama will cover the lives of pilots and their friendship, love and success stories, something that hasn′t been covered in a Korean drama before.
Chief producer Kim Young Sup said, “It’s a really difficult piece [to work on]. Because aviation dramas can’t be filmed on land, they cost a lot and we need to have good timing. The reason why we took on this challenge although it’s very difficult is because we wanted to show our viewers a ‘new’ drama.”
Kim added, “It won’t just be an airline drama, but also a work which you’ll be able to relate to, be moved by and learn about [different] life stories. It’s SBS’ first Wed-Thu drama for 2012. We’re really looking forward to it.”
Kim especially showed he was confident that Take Care of Us, Captain would continue the success brought on by A Tree with Deep Roots.
“I saw the finished versions of the first and second episodes, and I’m confident,” he said. “It will be difficult to continue producing [the drama]. The actors will have a hard time and the producers will have a hard time, but we’ll try our best.”
Producer Joo Dong Min said, “It’s a work that’s still lacking. If you give us advice, we’ll listen to it. The drama will be about how Han Da Jin and Kim Yun Sung overcome their traumas and fulfill their dreams and love.”
Will Take Care of Us, Captain be able to continue the popularity gained by A Tree with Deep Roots? Will it be able to kill the ratings bird and the critic bird with one stone? We’ll soon be able to find out.
