It aired on KBS2 from May 2 to June 21, 2022, every Monday and Tuesday at 21:30 (KST) for 16 episodes.[6] It is also available for streaming on Disney+ in selected regions.[7]
Bloody Heart is a fictional historical drama about King Seonjong who ascends to the throne due to a rebellion, and Lee Tae who becomes the king after him.[3]
It follows the story of Lee Tae—a king who has to abandon the woman he loves to survive, Yoo Jeong—a woman who has to become the queen to survive, and Park Gye-won—the first vice-premier and the real head of power in Joseon.[8][9]
Filming locations of the series include Yeongwol County,[32] and Yeolhwajeong Pavilion—located in Ganggol Village, Deungnyang-myeon, Boseong County.[33][34]
On February 3, 2022, it was announced that filming was canceled for that day after a staff and an unnamed actor tested positive for COVID-19. All production crew members subsequently underwent PCR test.[35] A day later, it was revealed that Park Ji-yeon and Yoon Seo-ah tested positive for COVID-19.[36][37]
On February 11, 2022, it was confirmed that actor Heo Sung-tae also tested positive for COVID-19, forcing filming to be canceled for that day.[38] Later on February 16, Heo fully recovered from the contagion and resumed his filming schedules.[39]
On March 11, 2022, Ha Do-kwon's agency announced that the actor tested positive for COVID-19 on the afternoon of the 10th, and all his filming schedules were cancelled.[40]
