A Rift in Time and Space Triggered by a Single Photograph of a Museum Artifact
The moment actor Ji Jin-hee gazes at an artifact in a modern museum and presses the shutter, the screen is instantly sucked into a scene from the past. The second teaser for Channel A's new historical variety show, 'Time Slip Thousand Night Tales,' has been released, clearly revealing the program's core concept. Moving away from simple historical explanations, this variety show puts the 'time slip' setting—freely moving between the present and the past—at the forefront. Ji Jin-hee takes on the role of a storyteller visiting the museum, acting as a guide who steps directly into historical events through the medium of artifacts. At the end of the video, the direction where Ji Jin-hee snaps his fingers and says, "Into the story of that day, time slip," before returning to the present, serves as a device to lead viewers into historical mysteries.
“Do You Know Who This Woman Is?” Chasing Unofficial Histories Behind Official Records
'Time Slip Thousand Night Tales' is a 'dramatized' variety show that reconstructs various historical figures and events in a drama format every episode. The main thread of this program is to dig into the unofficial histories (Yasa) hidden behind the main stream of recorded official histories (Jeongsa). In the second teaser, the atmosphere shifts with the meaningful line, "Do you not know what kind of woman this is?" The following scenes make it impossible to look away. The intense appearance of actor Kim Kyu-cheol suddenly bursting into the Crown Prince's bedchamber, actor Jung Gyeo-woon wearing mourning clothes and letting out a bizarre laugh, and the urgent situation where a concubine receives poison after a curse doll is discovered, all unfold with a rapid tempo. Beyond simple historical commentary, the intention is evident to shed light on the multifaceted sides of historical events through dramatic direction.
