Along with the Gods: The Two Worlds
The movie "Along with the Gods: The Two Worlds" (2017), which set a box office record by surpassing 14 million cumulative viewers, is a fantasy film depicting the journey of firefighter Ja-hong, who is judged in seven hells over 49 days after death, and the grim reapers who defend him. Thanks to the unique CG effects, the hellscapes in the movie all look like computer graphics, but in reality, most of the hells were directly created and filmed using elaborate, massive physical sets. The actors spent nearly 11 months virtually living on the set, an enclosed indoor space filled with dirt and dust, to perform their roles. As a result, after filming concluded, lead actor Ha Jung-woo was found to have a surprising 'Vitamin D deficiency' in his health check-up, indicating the extreme hardship of shooting entirely indoors. Behind the overwhelming immersion, the actors endured extraordinary difficulties.

If you're deficient in Vitamin D, how much harm could you have missed... I should check again.

I thought this was going to get a sequel, but it didn't.

Thanks to the actors' hard work, we can watch great movies~^^ I enjoyed it~~๐๐
It's a Korean movie that had 3 installments. I remember it did pretty well at the box office and was worth watching.

Wow, I'm surprised the hell scene I thought was CG was actually a huge set! ๐ณ It's amazing that they filmed for 11 months, and the actors must have gone through so much hardship ๐ค

I didn't know they struggled indoors for 11 months. That kind of hardship must be why it became a blockbuster movie.

The actors must have had immense hardships, suffering terribly in the hellish indoor sets for about a year. Their struggles were surely unbearable, to the point of developing VD deficiency (syndrome). I hope their lung health was okay. It's a valuable achievement with 14 million viewers flocking to see it, a huge success.

I really enjoyed 'Along with the Gods' as a Naver Webtoon, so I was really looking forward to the movie adaptation. It was a bit disappointing that the main protagonist was changed slightly, but I still enjoyed the movie.
