The sword which strikes Gong’s character and prompts him to wander the Earth for 900 years was “custom-made at an expensive price,” the show’s crew said in Saturday’s episode.
To create the illusion of being impaled, Gong was required to wear a suit, crafted by the art team and pasted with pieces of the sword. Computer graphic effects were added later to shroud the sword in green smoke.
The fantasy-romance series concluded on Jan. 21 after reaching a record viewership on cable channel tvN.
