K-Drama 'Jackpot' Filming Mistakes - Part 2


Title: Jackpot (대박)

Cast: Jang Geun Suk, Yeo Jin Goo, Lim Ji Yeon, Yoon Jin Seo

Episode 12 - The game board.

Jang Geun Suk's character pulls out his sword and smashes the game board that he was supposed to play on against a famous swindler. The board breaks in two, with both halves right side up. But then, when the game hall is seen from another angle, one of the halves is upside down.


Episode 12 - The protective arm. 

As people flock to the door to avoid being taken in for illegal gambling, the Crown Prince, who is actually in charge of the whole operation, risks being trampled on, so his First Lieutenant extends his arm to make sure no one touches His Highness. That's all nice and well until we get a view from the top and see the two standing next to one another, the Lieutenant's arms to his sides. Then, as we return to a closer angle, we again see the man slowly lowering his arm as soon as the danger is over. 



Episode 13 - The domino pieces

Baek Dae Gil is invited to play a game by another famous swindler but he knows better. As soon as the man sets the pieces on the table, Jang Geun Suk's character smashes them with his sword. Then, throughout the following few shots, the pieces keep changing position on the table although no one actually touches them. 




Episode 14 - The blood again.

Somehow Jang Geun Suk's character finds himself at the scene of a murder and ends up being blamed for it because the victim coughs some blood on his chest. He runs away and we see that at one point he also has blood on his shoulder, a stain that may or may not extend to his white sleeve. I say may or may not because sometimes it does and sometimes it doesn't. Also, notice how in the last screenshot the blood on his chest is shimmery, as if it were fresh, although the man walks around the village for hours before he gets home. Not to mention that in some previous scenes that blood is completely dry.




Episode 17 - And again.

Man, they sure did a hell of a botch job with that blood. Again, we have a stain that miraculously appears.


Episode 18 - The miracle hand.

And by miracle I don't mean able to joggle those sharp acupuncture needles. What I mean is the hand that seems to belong to a woman in her twenties when in fact it's the century-old royal medic's.



Episode 18 - The dead body that could.

Baek Dae Gil carries the body of longtime frenemy Dam Seo who sacrificed herself to save the life of the series' main bad guy. Now, I don't know how many of you have knowledge of what it's like to manipulate, not to mention carry someone who's completely unconscious, which would be as if they were dead, but I'm telling you, it's nearly impossible. Aside from the weight, which seems ten times heavier than normal, you also have the feeling that the person you're carrying is slipping away like sand. They're definitely not resting their arm on your shoulder.
