JAKARTA - The production team of the film The King's Warden released a statement after the alleged plagiarism of his film. Reportedly, this film has a scene that mimics a drama titled Eom Heung Do.
Monday, March 9, MBN reported that the family of the late A, who was a descendant of Eom Heung Do, made claims that some scenes were similar to Eom Heung Do's drama that A prepared before he died in 2019.
Furthermore, the family said that some of the scenes in question were when King Danjong shared food with Eom Heung Do, the scene where Eom Heung Do saved King Danjong who was about to jump into a ravine, a portrait of a palace servant, and Eom Heung Do's child's appearance.
The next day, the production company Onda Works responded by making a statement. They denied plagiarism and could show proof in the documents they kept.
"The King's Warden is an original work based on original facts and the entire creative process is documented in detail and can be verified," Onda Works said in a statement.
"Because this work is based on figures and history, there are many creative results claiming similarities. However, there is no route or relationship that the creator encounters with the work in question and there is no plagiarism during the planning, development, and production stages," he explained.
If in the future the demands for plagiarism continue, the production house will take legal action to protect their works.
"The claim of plagiarism is unfounded and we will respond firmly through various means including legal procedures to fight the allegations," the production team said.
The film The King's Warden tells the story of King Danjong (Park Ji Hoon), the youngest king in the Joseon era who was betrayed by his uncle and exiled to Yeongwol. He meets Eom Heung Do (Yoo Hae Jin), the village chief who becomes his best friend.
The film The King's Warden has just gained 11 million viewers and confirmed the film as the highest-grossing film in South Korea this year.
