Mr. Sunshine, the Weight of Forgotten Names

Mr. Sunshine, the weight of forgotten names

tvN's 2018 <Mr. Sunshine>, written by Kim Eun-sook, is a 24-episode epic melodrama set in the Korean Empire of the 1900s. Born a slave, Eugene (Lee Byung-hun) returns as a U.S. Marine; his love with the noblewoman Go Ae-shin (Kim Tae-ri) follows the road of a fallen nation.

Most exteriors were shot at 'Sunshine Studio' in Nonsan, where an entire 1900s Seoul street was newly built. A 20-billion-won set was constructed to capture a film-grade mise-en-scène.

The stone steps at Manilam-ji in Ganghwa, the final shooting scene at Sinseongri reed field, Mancheonha Skywalk in Danyang — across 24 episodes, the road crosses the peninsula.

I would like — for someone to remember that I lived. — Eugene Choi

What happened behind the scenes?

Sunshine Studio in Nonsan

An entire 1900s Hanseong street was built from scratch — 78 buildings in Korean, Western, and Japanese styles, 1.2 km of alleys. After filming, the site was opened to the public and is still operating.

Ganghwa Manilam-ji stone steps

The first shooting practice between Eugene and Ae-shin. Five scenes were shot in a single day in the rain on the ruined temple's stone steps.

Sinseongri reed field

The final shooting sequence. The second week of November, when the reeds glow the most golden. The scene viewers most often returned to rewatch.
