KBS Admits a Horse Died After Filming Falling Scene in Taejong Lee Bang Won Three Days After Netizens Express Concern

• KBS claimed it was an accident. It was not. That was outright animal abuse, a deliberate decision to do this to an innocent horse for the sake of capturing a scene for a drama. It’s utterly appalling, inhumane & disgusting. The ones who made the decisions should be charged for animal abuse

  • That was clearly animal abuse. The poor horse suffered. Why did the horse owner agreed to that scene? That was hard to watch.

    They couldn't afford CGI and would rather hurt a live horse. Is the PD even human?

• 2022 and they still doing this?? There is CGi for a reason but no they would rather kill a horse ok then

  • That's awful.
    It didn't get up. Poor thing broke it's neck on impact??

• I would appreciate the wooden horse used in C-drama "Rebirth For You" despite the laughable effect than an actual horse having to die for whatever godawful sake there is as in the case with this drama. Shame on you KBS ???

  KBS and the production team shall be penalized heavily over the death of the poor animal.

• This is so horrible….I had to scroll really fast. I don’t know how can the staff on site watch this and see the horse do this countless of times. I know this is their job and some cannot afford to say something, but still I would end up leaving the job for the stress of seeing this abuse or because I cried and shouted while they were shooting…

• OMG.I can't even...

  They used ropes to stop the horse suddenly. The stunt people on the set are obviously inexperienced. They should have asked people who are used to these sort of stunts.

  On the other hand and more importantly my heart broke watching this poor animal subjected to this. I am so angry that if I was in South Korea I would actually petitioned against such inhumane behaviour and such animal cruelty.

  Which brainless idiot thought that was acceptable to do to anyone or any human. I am so angry I can't even find enough words to condemn such cruelty. The poor horse. The poor horse who was in pain. I hope they gave it painkillers instead of waiting 1 week to put it down.

• now i firmly believe that chinese historical dramas are way more better and superior than korean sageuk dramas. not only that they shoot the dramas more beautifully, but I've found that most of bts of Chinese dramas used a fake horse. they even fake riding the horse, but doesn't make the drama become lesser. i don't know but korean dramas are so overrated.

  funny indeed.. but no horses are abused.

  • better act
    better storyline
    a more realistic world without been just "beautiful"

    thats why sageuk dramas are much better than the historical chinese ones

    • i beg to differ. it is always known that chinese is better in producing historical dramas while korean is better in producing modern drama. there are also so many chinese actors and actresses who are really good in acting, so you points of 'better act' doesn't really on point, as they are so many korean actors and actresses who are being criticized for not having a good sageuk dictation. and i wonder if u have really seen one..i mean the chinese historical dramas. I've watched both. sageuk troup always have the same route. 2nd lead will always gonna die, fighting scenes at nearly at the end of the episodes, weak fl (some exception like yeonmu). it's getting boring. and some of the fighting scenes looks like a joke to me, coz it always happened in a small scale and in a courtyard. while chinese costume drama, they have many genres like xianxia, wuxia, xuanhuan, palace story, etc. well, this is only my opinion. not forcing it for others to accept it. I've been following saeguks for almost a decade already, and just this recently i watched chinese costume drama. that's why i found sageuk is overated. most probably due to korean dramas are more well known globally

    • Sorry to disagree but Chinese historical dramas are so much better than Korean Sageuk dramas. They have more depths and were more professional.

• That's so distressing... A horse was killed to film this drama.... I can't even.

• OMG, thats so horrifying to see! Poor horse! T_T

• The horse dying for the drama is terrible but you know what - everytime I have an order of fried chicken it mean it means a life has been lost too. And it wasn't because I didn't have any alternative but that I wanted to have it. So let all have some perspective

  • What are you even on about???

    Both cases are two very different things. The fried chicken we eat is from specific groups of chicken reared for human consumption. This horse lost its life for no reason, except to make a 2 second scene in a not even highly rated drama look "realistic".

    They cant even be compared. Keep your smart a** perspective to yourself

  • you sound stupid anom. no offence

• k-netz should start a petition to cancel this drama. the nerve of kbs in abusing this poor horse to death. just bc it's an animal doesn't mean its life is lesser than that of a human. it's part of the cast too tbh & should be treated with the same respect as human cast. the govt should fine them big time too.

  • +1

  • Then with this stance, I assume you're a vegetarian right? Because if not you're just as guilty as them.

  • What they did was shit but jumping on the cancel train again??? Sheesh

  • Yeah I want to know too … you must be vegetarian right ?
